There is a substantial difference between
and
If you cannot figure out the difference between these two statements, then I'm afraid you're destined to make the same mistake again & end up banned. with a join date of Feb 2006?
The thread derailing needs to stop now - please get back on topic.
people that play dirt 2 on HD5x00 hardware play it in DX11 cause their cards can handle it, people with HD4x00 hardware play it in DX10. i doubt there are hardly any users who these drivers effect that play DX9 lol
Its called denial......good post
My point is.
I'm not gonna let a select few members bully me around like they do Keys and others just because they don't like what I post.
I'll post what I like, when I like and back it up with links and facts.
Not just come into a thread and shit on people with your "a troll" comments.
Now the mods do it too!
Mr Pizza called a me a marketing troll.
Unbelievable!
Posting your opinion is good.
Posting that without being complete accurate, observing all the proper words and all ramifications is also cool.
The problem (and not really a problem per se) is when you start dozens of threads, generally about 2 topics (I'm not saying exclusively about those 2 topics) - bashing AMD/ATi and praising/advertising future NVIDIA products.
When you do the above what could be considered simply some normal writing lapse can be subjected to other interpretations.
In this case, imagine you were just a regular guy with a few hundred posts and said "the cat 10.6 will give you BSOD". People would think "ok it isn't a general problem and that guy simply just didn't detailed it for whatever reason".
But considering your post history, especially recently, people can and will assume other intentions, even if none were present.
And acting as if there is a conspiracy to get you isn't very smart - that is what real market trolls do and did on the past to keep spreading the marketing FUD - because a lie repeated loads of times will give loads of hits on Google and that is what the internet is about.

You appear on both.
What does this mean?
So you are saying I should have wrote "could". Ok, I can live with that.
Mabe I should have been asked to correct it ? BUT instead I got personally attacked.
Yet, I get the infraction?
Thats bullshit.
and to me it seems that other moderator (if I am guessing this right) is feeling somewhat sympathetic to you due to his own affiliation. Could be wrong, but that's what it looks like from a bystander's viewpoint. I think you were given more than enough leeways when you initiate a flamebait and get away with a mild warning while others that took the bait get a vacation for it.ANd ok'd by another moderator.
It means that if I was searching for BSOD+catalyst 10.6 or crossfire+bsod your posts would come up.
And then next time someone is going to have a debate about NVIDIA vs ATi drivers, someone will say "just type crossfire+bsod and see how many results you get!".
But that isn't the point.
The point is how do regular folks know that you aren't a marketing dude?
What would a marketing dude do?
- Start threads praising NVIDIA - you do that.
- Start threads bashing ATi - you do that.
- Spreading FUD - you just did in this case by your affirmation that 10.6 give BSOD to CF configurations (I know you claim that wasn't your intention).
Sure, regular people do that too. And the other way around.
But you have a gigantic number of posts/threads started.
So how will a regular forum member distinguish you from a viral marketing agent?
The bottom line is if you aren't careful (and maybe it isn't fair that you have to be careful when other people aren't) some people will jump at you and then they call you NVIDIA shill and you'll call them AMD/ATi fanboys to nobody profit.
Guess you can look at this as you being VIP.

Well it could be that you never intend to bait anyone, but again that's what it looks like to someone who wasn't part of that verbal exchange. Just think about how many negative posts about ATi and how many defensive posts for NV (or counter-attackish) you make daily, and it is plain easy to see why people call you names. Don't forget there is a good ole saying which goes like: if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... For a change, try researching one negative news for NV for every two anti-ATi posts and your posts would be taken more seriously, I promise. Better be safe than sorry right? Same applies to the fellow NV card owners, don't leave them out in the dark
Kudos to Dr. Pizza, it's good to see there is a good sense of fairness in moderating.
As for the cat 10.6, I had youtube videos inducing driver crashes and turning green back in 10.5. It was handled by installing flash 10.1, but the problem came back again shortly before I moved up to 10.6. Sadly 10.6 didn't do it, not even installing the flash 10.1 again. Not a big fan of Apple, but I reluctantly side with Jobs on this one. Flash in teh suck.
Again, please get the thread back on topic. Thanks. -Admin DrPizza
There is no headquarters. The problem is that, in happy's world, ATi products will kill your mother with a giant cucumber carved into a bust of Perry Como, bite off the head of your pet hamster and give you colon cancer.
On a related note: Happy, have you had your colon checked recently?

How would you know any of this?

You track my post?
Then you would see the hundreds of ATI cards I recommend.

Thanks for the advise.
WHo are you again?
Kudos to Dr. Pizza, it's good to see there is a good sense of fairness in moderating.
So you call fair going against his own forum rules to single me out?

While you are unemployed you could spend some time learning the spelling of basic words used in your "fairer than thou" posts.
I posted some of this previously for your information but I notice you have chosen to ignore it....guess its just a case of "keepin it real" huh.
"Here" (where you are presently)
"Hear" (the act of listening)
"There" (opposite of here)
"Their" (something belong to them)
As you noted in your helpful posts about ATi problems,you "just report the news".....so in that spirit I am bringing this to your attention.^_^
This is really getting out of hand. Warnings have been issued and ignored. Yet I see no bans, some of us never got that lucky.
Anyway, I thought I'd use these drivers for a while before I post. the previous driver, 10.5, seemed to fall away in performance after using them for a certain period of time. Noticeably, these have been rock solid for me so far.
ugh, I think I am done talking, don't want to get involved in another vacation-fest At least it's good to see you are in good spirit.
I guess I misspoke about the flash (though still doesn't change the fact I don't like it), the youtube driver crash thing is more likely about hardware acceleration in general. Now that I think about it, I remember reading some forum post that claimed it had to do with powerplay and overclocking. Only happens when you overclock, even by 1mhz, which has been confirmed on my machine.
No probs with the 4850 on the secondary machine, should be something 58xx specific.
Yeah looks like the problem isn't very common going by google searches. My system is farily clean though, not sure what exactly is causing it. I am using MSI afterburner to overclock it btw (not like it would matter anyway)
It was bad enough that by the time I would load into a new game, all the vehicles would be gone and sometimes a bomb would already be set at an objective.
It would take a good minute to load a map. Once i finally got 10.5a installed for my mobility GPU's (no thanks to the worthless/incorrect modding instructions on the ati forums by a moderator) it cut it down to like 10-15 seconds.
It was nothing deal-breaking but it was definitely an annoyance, especially if i had to run all the way to the action.
