The chirping of crickets has become deafening...

Let me just say that I am a liberal at heart - born and raised.
So it sorta hurts to have to rub this in even further...



Bow down PC bitches, and raise your buttocks to the sky:

(if for some lame-ass excuse you can't see the vid, that's roughly 5.5 seconds)

Have a nice day!

Ok, to shut the crickets up for a moment, 22 seconds on my Core2Duo with 2 gig of ram. No overclocking running pc800 memory. But then this doesn't let me use my Nvidia 8800GTX video card to it's fullest advantage.

In that the only reason I have a PC at home is to play games, I don't really care how fast it will do a radial blur. I care about my frames per second when playing Crysis.

G Gnome - that's a pretty good time; what sort of rig is it?

Here's a Windows Media version of the 5-second blur test:

Since I'm knott into gaming, why buy (or build) a hot-rod PC instead of buying a
console for a fraction of the price? What's the deal?

Early 2011 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro Intel Core i7
Mac OS 10.7.3
8 GB RAM (1333 MHz)
Photoshop CS5.1
256 GB SSD
6.8 sec

Quite impressive that the MacBook Pro beats Jerry's 3.2 GHz quad-core tower.
Interesting that the 5 year-old (2007) 3 GHz dual quad core still has the best time of 5.5 sec
(as seen in video a few posts above). Still a lot of performance from that ancient machine...

I'm too lazy to actually do it but fairly certain my 3700+ Clawhammer will crush your numbers...

Whatever!! Prove it!!!

Man, between this and gym climbing it was totally worth it to ban all those heads. :)

Really thrilling shit!!

Let's keep this crap on the front page...
