Hi the trade i created got closed before i could reply so to keep from opening another tread il just send you a direct message "Thank you for reminding me of the events of 05-21-13 14:50 if you read further through the chat you would notice that it was a very heated argument (the other party also used a mic). Regardless now that i know how i broke the rules i apologies and i wont do it again."
I haven't looked into anything for a while but I had assumed the 8 would mean it was newer, improved and all that crap.
It really is weird that a 2 year old GPU can beat out a fairly recent one.
