I agree. What a colossal waste of resources. He didn't even destroy it in the true art of a massive OC or something. Just smashed it. *Sigh*

He could have sold it to me!

I would have nurtured it.. Maybe it was broken and he couldn't figure out how to repair it o_o

If the card wasn't fried then it should have been his head between the sledgehammer and asphalt.

I agree with Imbest123. Anyone remember that whole frenzy over the guy who "modded" an Apple tower and it was a huge farce? I have a feeling this might be the same thing. I'm sure the card was fried.

PS. I am a proud owner of a 9700Pro.

Who cares if the card was fried? A person can smash their own property to their heart's content, whether it be a video card or a Fabergé egg. I'm just wondering about the maturity of that person, as I got over my "Let's smash things cuz it's kewl" stage when I was around 11.

Ah you're right who cares if the card was fried. I just hope it doesn't lead to a domestic violence problem later in his life, but I can see why the novidia fans would get wood
