“I thoroughly enjoy retro-style games and with that, Magic Orbz modernises the classic brick breaking formula and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
Lol at the image.
"Adrea!"
Thats why I never bought the 360 add-on, nor a Blu-ray movie until a winner was chosen.
Now I can buy movies with confidence.
Who argued that the PS3 didn't tip the scale of the format war? Of course it did. If the PS3 didn't have a built-in Blu-Ray player this war would still be alive and well.
is the reason that BR won, not a reason, but the reason.
So? Who cares? It's done, finito, kaput. No amount of whinning will bring HD-DVD back, and I'm glad it's dead for good.
