“Huh?”

“Your frame-rate. When you run Crysis. What sort of frameage you gettin’ out of that video card?”

“Uh, I dunno. I don’t run Crysis. It’s an ATI FirePro V5700 3D Graphics Card. It’s not really for that sort of thing.”

“BF3?”

“What is that?”

“BF3.”

“You’re just saying letters and numbers.”

“DOES IT RUN BATTLEFIELD 3?!”

“I don’t know. Maybe? No? I don’t know. It’s more for 3D image editing and stuff. Not necessarily gaming.”

“DUDE, BRAH, YOU GOTTA GET YOURSELF AN ULTRASPACE VIPER-FALCON 9000000XTREME!”

“I think that’s a little more video card than I need.”

“Doesn’t matter, brah. You either roll with the viper falcon or you’re left in the dust.”

“I guess my CAD project will just have to suffer.”
