    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...

    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...

    Dave Baumann of Beyond3D joins ATI

    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.

    Dave Baumann of Beyond3D joins ATI

    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...

    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. ...

    Well, I think it fair to say you've been Rollo's leading critic on this topic (or at least very near it), so perhaps you can help me out on this.

    Ah, okay, that's the kind of clarification I was looking for. In general, yes. Re you specifically (which I took to be the original context)? Not necessarily.

    Well, maybe a bit of both, Pete. You ARE respected, and this hella long post is a pretty good example of why. Toss this off over breakfast with your left hand while you read the morning newspaper in your right? :) You quoted Rollo's #4, re sampling. I'm trying to give him credit that he...

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

    I do find it a bit curious, all things considered, that Rollo's critics seem to be quite willing to take his word for "the other two", given the context in which he brought this information forward, and the general opinion those critics seem to have of Rollo's reliability and honesty.

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

    Probably! :) They don't seem to respond to reasonable requests for information. It has to be something scurillous like suggesting (as Consumerist did) that the Penny Arcade letter was really your program to get them out of their bunker. That's a shame. You might not be sweating out a banning if...

    Certainly AT forums deserves to be part of any NV community outreach program. Whether it needs to be Rollo or not, it would seem to me, is an entirely different question. Maybe Pete would reconsider now. :) Should we start adding "Pete for AEG Rep!" to our sigs? ;) P.S. Oooh, he's...

    Hey, party at B3D whenever guys. First round on me. :) Thanks for the pointer to Rollo's thread in FI, which I missed first time thru, apoppin. How sweet of him to toss some more acid of suspicion and uncertainty. I was told, and believe, "a handful", so I guess 6 rather than 4 is possible...

    Are we testing how many "last" I can do? :) Alright, maybe third time will be the charm --talk about me all you like after I'm gone. :) Just don't ask me more questions, please. I think if you look at my original post at B3D you'll see Hanners of EB confirming very quickly that he'd heard...

    Okay, so last last. :) Thanks for the welcome. Y'know, I don't think anyone has seen me focusing on the word "viral" in all this (obviously others have, and please note AEG's own website uses the word to describe their services offered). It surely is a god-awful word to use for such things...

    Wouldn't any threatened lawsuit against EB run the risk that they *wouldn't* fold, and therefore you'd have "discovery" made part of the public record? I keep saying this is a communications company we're talking about. All most of us are asking for is that they start communicating with the...

    No, you're right. Inelegantly stated on my part.

    It's a real shame that folks feel a need to fit this topic into the hoary old ati vs nv paradigm. If ATI is doing this as well they oughta stop the secret aspects as to membership. In fact, I've been disappointed that they haven't taken the opportunity of the public controversy to make a...

    Oh, and here's another point worth making. I mentioned their blog. It's here: http://www.aeginfo.com/blog/ These folks are lauded by some pretty big heavyweights as being communications masters, and masters of liason with hardware/software communities. They say themselves that monitoring...

    It's worth noting that the AEG website is from November 17. Check their blog. It's also pretty clear that website wasn't meant for us, the community. It was meant for AEG to try to sell their services to other companies. It must be quite a bind on the one hand to advertise what it is they do...

    Y'know, it's an interesting point. The big sites, where they can afford it, it would prolly be better if they did pay for stuff. Even beta stuff, at whatever the MSRP is going to be. Or give it back after the test. I think Consumer Reports buys everything with their own cash. Which is not...

    Cheng Disputes AnandTech HQV Test Results

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but my impression is that unlike Anand's comparo, the FS piece is not referring to X1000-class hardware. Certainly the linked .pdf from Principled Technologies specifically refers to R420-based hardware. Unless the point is that this is entirely a driver/software...

    The FiringSquad piece is awesome. I totally geeked out on that. And, yes, Cheng does point at it himself. I don't get any sense that he's arguing with Anand's findings re PureVideo for what was tested in Anand's piece. But the FS piece does not test Avivo, so I don't see any relation between...

    Cheng Disputes AnandTech HQV Test Results

    If I understand Cheng's comments correctly in the Hexus interview, he's not disputing the results in HQV for PureVideo.
