So you think the other camp didn't play dirty?

I'm pretty sure all John wanted, and all I wanted, was a little bit of sunshine. It was everyone else who went apeshit over it, from Penny Arcade on. Isn't it odd that having broke this story into public, its people like he and I who've then spent a lot of time defending Chris Ray and Ailurus...

Why does ATI choose Africa to launch R600?

One might remember that the Inq previously reported from the 1st cancelled launch that it was launching in Amsterdam in mid-March . . . which also was not correct usage of the word "launch".

Case List for 8800GTX/GTS

Awesome thread, guys. Wonderful idea. We suggested to NV that they ought to have such a list themselves. I have the 3D Aurora myself, and the GTX was a damn tight fit, but it did go after a few minutes of sweating and removing a cable management thingy that I'd stickied right behind the PCIe...

8800gtx and cpu usage

Its a wildy different architecture than their previous, the biggest generation to generation change for them since. . . hell, maybe ever? It's pretty amazing that the drivers are as stable as they are at this point. So, two predictions --there are more landmines out there to step on, and a...

What, are you kidding? Mr. Wizard gave me this one: It's been fun guys --I'm going home. Ta ta.

Dave Baumann of Beyond3D joins ATI

Have we lost sight of the original context of the comment? The point is, unlike the characterization that Greg likes to flog here every chance he gets, there are several prominent B3D members with a green lean and the technical chops to argue with anyone --including Wavey-- and that continue to...

Well, people are not born, live, and die on B3D, never having left its environs --and that other experience is at least relevant. I talk to Uttar outside B3D practically every day, and I'm relatively certain he would not think it unfair to describe him as leaning green so long as one...

Dave Baumann of Beyond3D joins ATI

Baumann broke the story that NV30 was 4x2 rather than 8x1 as NV had been representing --some people have just never forgiven him for that, as if it was somehow his fault that NV30 was not the competitive success that the green team had enjoyed previous to that point. "No getting around that"...

I think you don't know Uttar's history all that well, Nelsius. You should look up "Not For Idiots" website. Uttar was *the* man for NV30 speculation pre-release (i.e. before the heartbreak set in). http://www.notforidiots.com/ULE.php We have pretty much made an agreement between us to split...

Well, the rep system certainly sucks for those like yourself who like to claim that a pro-greenie must be a hunted animal at B3D, with Chalnoth and Uttar in the top 10. But you just keep telling yourself whatever you need to, Greg.

This would be the same Chalnoth who has more than 10k posts over 4 years, a very healthy reputation, and will cheerfully step up when he feels someone has misrepresented NV, particularly technically? And where did all that reputation come from, radar? It could only come from other members. So...

Ha, radar1200gs, you weren't banned for being a troll, nor for being wrong or right. You were banned for being a spammer --you could never let a topic go after it'd been talked to death by all sides and everyone had had much more than a fair chance to present their thinking on it. In other...

ATI hires HRC PR Firm

Well, dapunisher, I'm a self-described pollyanna about such things. So, much as I did with AEG originally, this morning I've written HRC a long email inviting them to participate in the community by showing up to talk about what they are/will be doing on ATI's behalf. I pointed them at the B3D...

ATI hires HRC PR Firm

I posted about this at B3D several hours before it appeared here (if I'm reading the times right). http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31020 "viral marketing" covers a very wide range of activities, not all of them offensive in my view. And, yes, I said the same thing re AEG. ...

Nvidia viral marketing with AEG exposed !!! *UPDATED* *Poll Added*

Gerbils?! We're citing GERBILS now? (That's the Churchillian read, btw). To throw his putrid corpse at the feet of the forum where the story was broken in the first place, and that allowed that thread to stay open for two+ months to get some resolution? Gosh, I think I may have to agree with...
