Forget it dude. We've moved past you.
Well, whatever, then your credibility is lost.

WOW Keys, fucking wow. way to display attitude!
Condescending attitude like ive pointed out before. I cant belive you keep doing this crap and still get to be a mod. just cant belive it.
I cant atm Keys, i need a second card i guess. ive got a gtx460 coming, but i assume you want SLI scores.
maybe at a later time. still interested in seeing the scores though.
Hey Annisman, got any good numbers yet?
Unfortunately I don't have a GTX 460, I only have an HD 4870 1GB Crossfire setup.
I think it's at least fun to do, even if there isn't too much scientific knowledge to be gained.
I'd like to see the results especially because of the variety of systems, tester preferences, etc... A much broader picture can be seen that way.
If it just turns into everyone maxing out every setting and playing it at 19*12, then it's a waste. We already know the outcome of that. It'll be nvidia having higher unplayable framerates than ATI. I'd like to see what kind of settings these cards can generate playable frame rates, in different games, at different resolutions.
You seriously think that 460 SLI or 5870CF can not turn out playable framerates at 19x12 max settings? my single 460 can pull this off in most games.
Keys I honestly think it's the source of the benchmarking. You may do the testing with the greatest degree of objectivity but because of your associations, your credibility will suffer. It's the reason why Nvnews and AMDZone are never high on the list of reliable review sites, even though their testing methodology might be just fine.
This thread is a little different in that you're getting independent members to run the benchmarks. I imagine though that it will still be seen as a less credible review just because the benchmarking came at the request of a focus group member whose results will be added to the mix.
Just my .02. Sounds kind of fun to me personally. If I had any of the latest games, I would love to contribute.
Actually I think the timing of this initiative, after [H] had some articles on how CrossFire was getting spanked by 460 SLI, is what will cause some people to see ulterior motives.
Umm...how about this one?Name one review site that doesn't have an ulterior motive for doing benchmarking...
I have some mafia2 .csv files to email you, Keys
Name one review site that doesn't have an ulterior motive for doing benchmarking...
I don't know of any non-profit .org websites that do performance benching of GPU hardware. Perhaps one or two exists, but I bet even they rely on page-hits and advertising revenue to pay the bills.
Enthusiasts coming together and benching their own rigs is about as non-ulterior motive as you can get in a capitalist society.
