Just because someone mails you something, it doesn't mean you accept financial responsibility for it.
You have entered into no contract or agreement, thus you are not responsible in any way on what happens to the product. Whether you keep it, sell it or send it to the trash, Dell still...
technical? there is nothing technical about this. nvidia or ati don't have any international guidelines to follow. Do you consider the 7800 GT a refresh of the GTX, the 6600GT a refresh of the 6800 Ultra. Probably not, those cards were release after thier generation's highend. They both...
Why is anyone expecting anything logical from Nvidia and ATI?
Nvidia buck the trend of refreshes of highend cards during the 6800. Then they release a new board with a faster G70 with more and faster memory and simply threw "512" at the end of the name with limited availability. If the...
Exactly, based of the 3dmark05 info by hexus and how R580 is supposely just an extenstion of the 530, a 11k 1900 would get smashed by a 13k 7900. It would be the worst drubbing since before the 5800 vs 9700 fiasco.
I hardly doubt that ATI would short change the 1800 by releasing the...
I don't trust the scores. Everyone has assumed including me that the x1900 would be roughly a higher piped version of the 1600XT (4 x pipes and shaders). Problem is the 1600XT post abnormally high 3DMark05 scores. Look at the reviews on the web, a 1600XT will outscore an 6800GS, 6800GT...
If PR people got pelted with apples by the audience during a slide presentation everytime they used FUD information. The world would be a better place.

did anybody notice that slide 5 or damaged goods slide that those numbers are based off a 0.1% failure rate and at 125C.
I don't know where the 1170 hrs come from, but the graph seems to indicate that a 1 in 1000 ATI X1X00 at 1.38V and...
I fail to see your logic. When you bought your 7800GTX was there some sort of implied agreement between you and Nvidia that the 7800GTX you purchased was gauranteed to perform to its maximum potential? If Nvidia designs a chip with set of performance goals in mind and is able to exceed to...
Mad? Upset? I am lost. I don?t understand why anyone would be mad at nvidia for providing additional performance to a card for free especially when it comes to the 7800GTX.
Lets put it in a different perspective.
You go to Walton?s Burger, because their SupaDupa Burger is the tastiest...
While I can understand concerns over pricing, to want something to fail that could possibly improve our overall gaming experience to me is a little short-sighted. Noone wants a 400PPU that needs to be ungraded as often as their GPU. However, a pretty cheap PPU ($125.00 or less) with as much...
If I gave you the choice of either giving you the 7800GTX or X1800XT (if you did not own the 7800GTX already) today or the day after the NDA was lifted. Which day would you choose? I don't think many of us would choose today.
AT's Performance Reviews would be un-necessary if everyone brought...
Whether these benchmarks are fake or not, we will find out the truth once the NDA is lifted. The more interesting question is what are the ramification to ATI if these numbers are true. They went out of their way to lambast the guy and his data.
We all know what will happen to Mr. Sanders...
"so are you saying ATi's "strong arm" response implicates them????"
No, what I'm saying is ATI's PR team made the situation worse and put fuel on fire. They basically went into a flame war with Mr. Sanders.
can you elaborate with the reasoning part and while you are at will you please give your take on this aspect of the controversy :)
While searching and reading up on all the post may be an option. Its a little hard to read through all the flames just to get at the more interesting aspects...
This has to be the most controversial launch of a GPU since the 5800 Ultra. HardwareAnalysis has certainly created a firestorm by releasing a set of benchmarks that doesn?t show the type of performance one would expect from the new ATI architecture.
The type of reaction to this event is well...
While I might agree with you under normal circumstances ( normal circumstances being two group simultaneously working on two different GPU generation ), I find it more logical that one group or conglomerate of groups worked on the R580 during the design phase and the first tapeout and then...
We have been hearing rumors of the 32 pipeline card from ATI for a long time. What we got was a 16 pipe R520.
Maybe this is the result of ATI being proactive with their refresh cards instead of reactive.
Correct me if I am wrong:
The R580 is to be the first admitted refresh part that...
