My apoligies for almost doing a dissapearing act, the past 8 months or so have been somewhat eventful. But am hoping i'm back for good
Got myself a 5870 on the way today - never thought I would see ATI back in the game

Hope everyones well

Hi and glad to see you back again. I take it that the hibernation is over now then ?

The 5870  is a good card and even now isn't far off the top end as far as performance goes.  It kicks most card's butts!

Haha yeah something like that Tis good to be back mate

Yeah I think the 5870 is the new 8800gtx, picked up a pre factory OC'd for £135 which I was pleased as punch about!

That's it the performance you get for the money now is incredible considering only a few months ago they were over £300.

Yeah its crazy considering even the £400 cards don't gain you a huge ammount more FPS!

P.S do you have any idea why i dont appear to be recieving reply notifications via email anymore?

Hi Oggmonster,

nice to see you're back but I really don't think much of your front! 

There have been a few issues with the forum going down and you might just need to reset some of your account settings to get things back on track.

ATI have been delivering some really good GPU's for a while now and I switched to using them some years ago mainly because I run and AMD platform and found they were a lot less trouble than NVidia cards and their drivers.

Aha Cheers! Ive never been brand loyal and have always gone for best bang for buck when it comes to graphics cards. I'm really chuffed ATI have made a come back after a fairly big slump. At the end of the day its loads better for the consumer

I've tried resetting my account settings regarding the email notifications + still don't appear to be getting any

[absic]

Being honest Ogg, I don't bother with any of those settings and I have turned most of them off.
But, under the Notifications and email settings have you made sure that the relevant boxes are ticked and that, from the drop down menu, you have selected "replies and moderation"?

If that still doesn't solve it you'll have to ask runn3R!
