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

    Which is just a personal theory of your own, isn't it. I've been accused in the B3D IRC of a bit of revisionism and while I'm not going to air the particulars since I really don't care I will say that I was threatened to have my PMs read over a fairly minor incident several years back...

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

    Regarding the last few posts, I think the comments are a little unfair. Absolutely feel free to think what you will concerning past events, but ascribing the negativity toward current management who were in no way involved is simply unfair. Rys, the current EIC, used to be a tech-head over at...

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

    I think a lot of this post is unfair and/or inaccurate. Dave did not "promote" ATI products over NVIDIA's in his articles/reviews. His forum posts often came down in opinion in ways favorable to ATI architectural designs, but I don't think your description is very accurate. Of course bias can...

    ATI hires HRC PR Firm

    Well, I think it more fair to say that Rollo chose to disrupt whatever forums he frequented. I highly doubt AEG/NVIDIA endorse or promote Rollo's posting style (especially considering he just got banned at last week by Kyle himself).

    Oblivion finally benchmarked!

    Crossfire support (AFR) for Oblivion will be added with the 6.4s next month. I would also note the drivers used in the testing for the article.

    Forcing Anti-aliasing without giving up HDR on Oblivion

    Those games are probably using a FP16 format, to which the Radeon 1xxx ROPs can apply multi-sampling. I think the problem for Oblivion is that Bethesda went with a FP format supported by Xenos (360 graphics chip) that can't be AAed by the new Radeons.

    Oblivion is coming.. upgrade time!

    According to the developer, ATI cards are better for Oblivion. Take that howsoever you choose to and try not to kill the messenger. :) SLI support, according to Pete Hines, is there OOTB. Crossfire support is supposed to arrive with the Cat 6.4s. The game also uses just a simple disc...

    The Future of PC Gaming

    Didn't Carmack at last year's QuakeCon say he thinks AGEIA's PPU would hurt overall performance in next-gen engines?

    SimHQ's Radeon X1800 XT CrossFire review

    Thanks for the feedback. The games I tested with are pretty much my standard benchmark suite, which has been created in an effort to be reflective of what the site's readers are currently playing. So with that in mind I wouldn't change what or how I test since it tells the readers what value...

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

    Good post, Pete. Gotta' love Rollo's veiled threat against Anand that the site may be cut off from review samples from NVIDIA if they ban little ole' Rollo. Who, you know, isn't important to NVIDIA. You guys vehemently defending Rollo and his universal right to viral marketing: would you be...

    Call for a ban of AEG members that advertise/troll Video forum.

    You know, I'm not sure banning Rollo is the right thing to do. I'm fairly new here, though a long-time lurker, so maybe I don't feel as protective of this forum as some of you other guys who've been around for far longer, but at this point no one will ever take anything Rollo says insofar as...

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

    So after repeated denials, in public and private, Rollo now comes out of the closet and confirms what I'd stated here in this forum several weeks ago. For those of you who questioned me weeks ago, feel free to line up and apologize. :D

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

    Umm, no, I didn't say anything like most of what you wrote. But, honestly, is anyone hurt in any way just being made aware that such marketing programs exist?

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

    There's a known handful of members at Beyond3D. Now, just how much more traffic does AT generate? Oh, and after one of my spats with Rollo my buddy who is a member of the program e-mailed me again. He doesn't read AT, but another member of the AEG program who does pointed my posts out to...

    6.2 Cat's leaked

    No, guys, the default alternate rendering mode for DirectX games is SuperTile (at least for the 16 pipe boards), which is not 100% compatible with all games. And with the end user being unable to create custom profiles ATI has to test each DX application and create a profile for it to use AFR...

    Where do I get the ATI Avivo driver?

    Over at SimHQ I took the intro movie to Falcon 4: Allied Force, a 91mb avi file, and converted it using Windows Media Encoder (a threaded app) on a FX-60. A single-pass transcoding took slightly over 2.5 minutes. Using Avivo with a X1600 took around 30 seconds. Pretty freakin' incredible.

    6.2 Cat's leaked

    IMO, since ATI isn't letting end users experiment with Crossfire's rendering modes and create custom profiles they need to list which games have been profiled and added to their driver suite for each monthly release.

    If the rumored specs for G71 are true, it should be 7800gtx 512 / 1800xt all over again?

    Based on this thread I assume certain people think stencil performance is the future of 3D graphics compared to shaders. Laughably ridiculous argument. And, Rollo, why pawn Oblivion off as invalid since you won't play it when you've repeatedly invoked Pacific Fighters in numerous threads, a...

    ATi's CCC: Not the greatest but not that bad either.

    And even if a 15 MB progie is kept in memory compared to another that uses only, say, 3-5 MB, do you even think this is going to impact a game's frame rate on a modern or fairly modern system? It's not. This havering over CCC is FUD, pure and simple. That said, I haven't been a big fan of...

    Raged3D's X1900 REVIEW!!

    I'd like to steal whoever does the page layouts for Rage3D these days. And, yea, Mark does a great job with his reviews, though he needs to lay off testing Pacific Fighters since that's my turf. :P

    X1900XT/XTX or 7800GTX 512mb

    So the X1800s are now "disowned" by ATI, eh? Can someone explain to me why the 6.1s work just fine with them then? Will they suddenly stop working with the 6.2s or 6.3s?

    Oblivion graphics

    I have no idea, other than that it's not static shadow maps because of the game's day/night cycle.

    Oblivion graphics

    The dev actually said the opposite, that the german video from which that bad pic is taken from is not how the final game will look with its options turned up. Fully dynamic shadowing on all objects would be nice, but in a very large, open game world like Oblivion it probably wasn't a very...

    X1900XT/XTX or 7800GTX 512mb

    If a 512 MB GTX had sold on eBay last week for $1500, a certain someone would claim that finding one for $1200 was a valued underpricing for the part, a real deal. You just gotta admire that level of fuckwittery, the willingness to twist logic and rational thought so far out of shape.

    Question for X1900XT/XTX owners

    I play EverQuest 2 at 1920x1200 with 4x AA and 8x HQ AF and it plays fine. I've got a lot of the graphics options maxed out too, like texture resolution, so any of the high-end cards will handle the renderer in WoW's client just fine. Games like these, though, with lots of uneven floor...

    Whats with the hype of the X1900's?

    Anyone arguing that the bottleneck isn't the math performed on these pixels frankly has their head up their ass, for whatever reason (ignorance, fanboy-itis, etc.).

    Physically Impossible to do HDR+AA?

    Guys, stop talking about OpenEXR HDR as if it's something entirely different. That's just a FP16 format.

    Physically Impossible to do HDR+AA?

    Valve used an integer format for great compatibility, but it doesn't look as good (though it takes less of a performance hit since float HDR and AA murders bandwidth). Forward-looking game engines are going to use float-based HDR. Oblivion, the fourth Elder Scrolls roleplaying game from...

    Physically Impossible to do HDR+AA?

    No, 7 months is NOT a long time for yanking out your ROPs and redesigning them to allow multi-sampling to be applied to float render targets. I'd love it if NVIDIA could pull it off for their 7900s, but I seriously doubt it'll happen.

    R580 Beating GTX512 by 25% +

    http://www.beyond3d.com/reviews/ati/r580/index.php?p=02 Wow, those ATI engineers sure are stupid emphasizing arithmetic over texture performance for current and future games. They sure should've talked to you first. What I can't figure out, though, is why FEAR performs so much better on...

    R580 Beating GTX512 by 25% +

    I wish some of you guys wouldn't even reply to these type of off-topic trollings by you-know-who (who, with his mom 'n pop price quoting somehow failed to see yet again he did exactly what I said he would). My point by linking to B3D's recent review was never about the X1600 relative price or...

    R580 Beating GTX512 by 25% +

    And going even further afield in terms of what I'm talking about rebutes my statement that you're conciously ignoring my point?? I wonder why FEAR's--and other games--performance will go signficantly up on R580 compared to R520, yet the former has the exact same # of texture address and ROP...
