GeForce FX 5950 ruined my manhood!

[Figwit]

For Festivus my wife gave me a brand new GeForceFX 5950 Ultra and since then I have been unable to perform. I know that it's really too late to do the airing of grievances, but when I install my old Radeon 8500 I'm good to go again. This is ridiculous. I really think that Nvidia should fully disclose this type of problem with their product. It's bad enough that I barely got a performance improvement over my old Radeon, but to lose my dignity in the bedroom is a bit too much.

I don't recommend this card at all.

My wife is forcing me to return the card and she's going to buy me a new pair of skiis instead. I refused to go with her when she returns it since I don't want to be there when she tells them why she's returning it. I'm just going to keep using my old Radeon 8500 for the time being since it seems to do the job just as well.

I didn't find the card too noisy at all. I think that people are using the noise as an excuss to return the card since it's less embaressing than saying you've lost your manhood with this card.

LOL now thats a NVIDIA hose for the books. However if you are using a weak CPU from the get go then there will be VERY little performance boost.

You should go with VIA-agra integrated solution.

BTW when we say love your card, we don't mean LOVE your card! :tongue:

This is just another nail in the coffin for Nvidia. Not only are their cards not as good as the competition, but they cause impotency.

LOL. I don't know. Especially with this thread.

For the record I believe everything that Figwit says even though he is an evil bastard that mollests the neighborhood cats.

Figwit, can i be there when you and your video card go up against each other in the "feats of strength?"

[Figwit]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing fine. I got a full refund for the Nvidia card and am happily using my old Radeon 8500 again.

I'm going to be upgrading soon and will be watching the reviews of the next batch of cards closely to see how they affect bedroom activities. I sent an e-mail to Tom and he promised to include a paragraph or two about this in the next reviews.

Cheers

Next time go with the Intel Extreme3!

With a name like 'Extreme' it's gotta be good!

That should help your manhood.
