People in my eye sights are, Munky, Joker, Turtle, BFG, Appopin, and a few other that will occur to me later. Honestly though I doubt we will hear from them on this as its a lose lose, they either have Put down the same company they Idolize or they come off as a hyppocrite.
Oh you are just too funny, accusing me of being an ATi shill when ironically I've been accused of being an AEG member in the past.
I tell it like it is and that appears to cause some kind of reasoning short circuit with the trolls in both camps.
QFT.
Yeah Topweasel, you have really got to get some facts straight. I don't want to seem like BFG's Robin character, but he has always provided help on both ends and even backed himself up with corporate evidence (Nvidia driver release notes, nHancer capabilites--remember that Gstandfor--and all the like). I have yet to see him blatantly say "I love Nvidia" or "I love ATI". Put your pistol back in its holster and quit shooting "fanboy" like you've got parkinson's disease.
From what I've seen, you are Pro-ATI as well. BFG is an fanATIc and so are you.
Wow guy, you're blowing things way out of proportion. If you are classified as a fanATIc/Nvidiot because you like a card that is an ATI/Nvidia make, so be it. Yes, I am happy with my X1900XTX. Before it was out, I was happy with my 7800GT's. You are not the first to call BFG a fanATIc, he has been called both a fanATIc and an Nvidiot.
All I thought about Topweasel's statement was that he said it without really knowing that right now, BFG has a 7800 series NVIDIA card, an X800 card, and a very common consensus to buy what is worth getting for themselves. You have just labeled me as a fanATIc. Okay. Does that automatically make you an Nvidiot in my eyes? No. If these were the days when the 78 series had no competition you probably would have said I was an Nvidiot too. I'm just saying I have yet to see BFG take a firm stance on any company. Topweasel labeled him with a group of other highly veiwed "fanATIc's" and I believe he did so wrongly. That was it.
Maybe that is what made you think I was ("am") a fanATIc in your eyes. But dam, I'm sick of looking on these Anandtech Video forums and seeing nothing but aimless "fanboy" accusations. I bought the X1900XTX because I wanted to see how it would compare. I did so because I quite honestly didn't trust anyone on the web to tell me truthfully. I sold one 7800GT to a friend, and gave one to my brother, the cards that I used to have and respected. God forbid anyone has ever gotten rid of older hardware. Sorry beggerking, it wont happen again.:roll:
Right now, a lot of people are having such heated debates because the competition between the graphics throne is like a tag team match for female mud wrestling. Nvidia is the best!, then ATI comes up with something (in this case, the X1 series), then Nvidia is the best again (probably the Quad-SLI capability--yeah, that would be nice if G80's could be x4!), then ATI will probably come up with something. It is a constant non-monopoly which is what it should be. There are no "Kings" as some would blindly say, and there really are not as many fanboys as people think there are. Kind of like diagnosing imaginative children with A.D.D. Of course they're not concentrating on what you want them to, they're 8! Once again, I'll state it clearly:
1) People who are happy with their product are NOT fanboys.
2) People who bash the opposing product, while pointing out flaws that are shared with their own products ARE a fanboys.
3) People who speculate or give opinions about what "the other side" is like, without saying or making it knowledgeable that they are speculating or opinionating ARE fanboys.
I'm not going to add to the pointing fingers group, but I will say that so far I've only seen one fanATIc and one Nvidiot fanboy in these forums. (Sorry I missed the Rollo days and I barely got a glimpse of the FallenAngel nights). The rest, is just aimless accusations that always seemed to end up in pages worth of nothing but flames.
Sorry if I've offended you Topweasel when I disagreed with you, or Gstandfor when I mentioned your name in that and even when disagreeing with your methods of using the nHancer AA+HDR circus, or CaiNaM when you were arguing with Joker, etc. Truth is, when I've needed help with things, I've never received a negative feedback of PM's from many supposed Nvidiots and fanATIc's. Some just know what they're talking about a little more than others.
So, I'll be a fanATIc if it means being happy that my X1900XTX is better than my 7800GT's SLI, and in the future I'll be an Nvidiot if G80's come in Quad and kill any other DX10 card.
