Well there could be a couple of things but I'm not sure any of them explain such a drastic drop. For one your new monitor may be a higher resolution (1080p) than your old one (possibly 1050p or less) so your graphics card might be working harder. You might also try to update your graphics card drivers at AMD's driver download page.

@General_X: No, it is about individual talent. No one should tell you how to use your talent. The talent to do something belongs to the individual not the state and they do not have the right to tell you how to use that talent. In this instance it has to do with a persons talent to make cakes.

They aren't forcing the individual per se but rather the business. Do businesses have the right to discriminate in such a way? Should they? Would McDonalds be allowed not to serve blacks if they didn't believe in racial equality?

Marriage is defined as a union between a man and a woman for the purpose of having children.

So should barren couples also not be allowed to be married?

I'd really need to try before I buy but I've heard the experience can be pretty amazing when done correctly. I'll probably wait for 2nd gen units at least and maybe even wireless versions would be pretty sweet for moving watching in bed.

I don't know about leasing computers but I know Newegg (and probably others) have financing options such as Bill Me Later which lets you pay back a purchase in installments with no interest for 6 months. Might be worth looking into.

What's wrong with single neutral pedestrian lights? That's what we have here and no complaints have ever been heard.

Basically this, I'm not against gay folk in any way but this seems silly. If anything it's discrimnatory against people who are single lol

Two point three percent of the population of the United States is gay. Point eight percent want to marry. Gay activists are now dictating to the majority what we should believe. It is time to put a spot to this crap.

So you're arguing might makes right and it's okay to discriminate against minorities?

Religion should not be a good reason to dodge a punishment, being gay is a right being religious is a choice (i don't care if you guys scold me but it had to been said, and this is not meant to offend anybody by all means!)

I wouldnt say being religous is a choice per se just like being gay is not a choice, its more the way a person feels and what they believe.

Why is being religious not a right?

Being religious is a right but allowing discrimination based on religion is a somewhat dangerous precedent to set.

@General_X: I can empathize with the finances part, but as for the bedroom aspect; can't casual intimacy (without sex) be enough? Does the lack of sex really damper a relationship?

For me personally yes it does. If I was with a partner who didn't have a similar desire to have sex it would be a major sticking point. The trick would be finding someone with similar sex drives (or lack thereof).

Personally in a relationship sex is very important. They say there are two main things that ruin relationships and that's finances and problems in the bedroom.

It is good to see what people really think about those with disabilities in Off-Topic.

I am glad contemporary law in Western civilization prevents this kind discrimination and health care professionals do not think like this.

It might not occur to people, but stress management can improve or worsen rather than only the latter or it remain in a wretched state.

The problem is do you really want to make special accomodations for someone in a field where other people's lives are at stake? None of us want to fail but sometimes it's necessary to figure out where we stand. We have to evaluate the situation and decide if we want to overcome or cut our losses, not litigate to success.
