...that they know more about whatever you're talking about (that you actually know more about) and refuse to believe what you say - as if you were the clueless one. My friend is this way, and I just about punch him in the face every time he argues with me. The latest argument was over how much your GPU is used by flash based browser games. A mutual friend of ours has a computer that is slow playing Facebook games and I suggested a video card (They're using integrated graphics on the motherboard). My friend says that the video card will not make flash games faster because that's not what they rely on.
Just to be clear, the specs on their computer is a 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3 GB of ram, Windows Vista 32-bit. I said that indeed yes flash games do use your video card (For christsakes, loading a webpage uses a portion of your GPU as does scrolling up and down a long web page). We had this argument for some time before I left him to his idiotic thoughts. I being a hardcore PC gamer have two GTX 260 video cards operating in SLI - I additionally use EVGA Precision Tune to monitor temperatures, fan speeds, and GPU usage of each card. When playing flash games the primary GPU has gone up to as much as 76% usage, I just tried couple now in a different tab and both used up about 15% of my GPU. Scrolling on a webpage like Craigslist can bump GPU usage up to about 11% or so as well. Therefore our friend's computer is probably I'm guessing chugging away at about 90% or more on the onboard GPU and straining to do so. My friend has a spare 6600 GT that I think would work great for speeding up flash games (They play no other games but flash based games) but he won't give it to our friend because he doesn't think it would do any good (not that he's using it...he's just too selfish to even let them try it out, probably because he knows that would prove him wrong).
These are the kind of explanations I mean. Where you know you're right, and have proof - and the other person is so obnoxiously stubborn they think they're right and you're wrong and won't even read or acknowledge proof that shows they're wrong. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY, hence the punching. So when have you had a similar experience and how did you handle it?
