If you knew the history of Mega's comments re the nVidia situation you would have comprehended those comments...
I hope there's no hard feelings.
Dude, there are NONE at all. I had some fun at nVidia's (deserved, IMHO) expense. Like you said, it's only a video card. I'm just a little touchy about issues - any issues whether they're my business or not - regarding integrity, and this whole brouhaha is...
why dont the two of you just go get a room...
Gee, it looks like drew0 deleted his post and and decided to take the room with Megatomic instead. I'm SO jealous.
And your sense of humor < measurable
Gee, thanks for reminding me why I posted it over at Rage3D - they seem to have a better sense of humor than the nVidiots here and obviously could appreciate it more. Oh yeah, and before you start the "Rage 3D soldier" crap you don't bother to comprehend...
There is an upside to the 9500 pro phaseout - those 8 pipeline open chips can be used as 9700s on the right PCB, so there may be cheaper 9700s in the future, like the $199 deal from Newegg a week ago. It would make sense - the 9600/9600 Pro could cover the $100-150 range and the 9700 non-pro...
matrox reef demo has clipping planes insterted in it but since you can't run it on anything else it's not ostensibly a "cheat"
Not quite true. If you dig around a bit, you'll find there are ways to run the Reef demo on non-Matrox cards.
Since "application specific optimization" can blatently ignore IQ, maybe I should try my homebrew driver optimization that detects the 3DMark03 splash screen and puts up a 640x480 8-bit screen that says "F*** you" for the entire test. Since I can't code worth a crap, 3DMark03 only returns a...
Sorry, RobsTV - the analogy is WAY off. Here's the corrected one:
Two good students have access to the "special insider" exam review books. One of the students gets pissed because even though he has access to the "special insider" exam review books, he knows he still can't score higher than...
In a feeble attempt to get slightly back on topic ...
Hasn't anyone noticed that nVidia's response is as close to an admission of guilt as they're probably going to give? Everybody seems to have forgotten nVidia's initial response - this was only a driver bug. Suddenly Futuremark not only...
I think it's prudent to wait a bit and give them a chance to explain before jumping on them like this
Precisely. I waited for their official response and here is the relevant quote:
We don't know what they did but it looks like they have intentionally tried to create a scenario that makes our...
do you realize that denial is not just a river in Africa?
I don't think they do. It's rather fascinating what knots nVidia fanboys will twist themselves into to avoid the obvious.
1. ATI pays Futuremark $50 thousand a year to "Beta test" 3dmark03. nVidia does not. Now, that means Futuremark...
I know - after reading all these FX5900 Ultra reviews, I'm still trying to figure out what's the BFD for $499? The card's not out yet, benchmarks are far from decisive, Doom3's not out yet and ATI's got plenty of time for a driver refresh for Doom3 and the 9x00 cards, and the 5900 is fawned...
