Exactly, I'm glad some people around here actually know how to read critically, and not make up what they wish was said. Rollo can hardly put up a defense, because he knows most everything thats been said is true. I took him to task for a number of things, over a number of posts. The bests his limited reasoning skills could do was to completely misrepresent what I said. Lol.....he also managed to bring up AGAIN, about his freind, and all this wonderful insider information the wonderful rollo has blessed this forum with. And we "impatient apes" and nvidia haters(even though we all have 6800s) have the nerve to be ungrateful for rollos wonderful contribution, and selfless sacrifices and showering us with such insider knowledge so frequently. I mean come on, he delivered for us ungrateful imbecils the farcry ps3.0 benches before they were officially released!!, that is quite an accomplishment indeed! Not to mention a profound amount of insider knowledge that anan forum users would have otherwise have been without. I mean, i think the only other place that had Far Cry ps3.0 benches early was some Finnish site, and I mean, none of us can read Finnish can we? I don't even think I have East European and Nordic fonts installed on my system, so I'm not even sure if the page would have loaded right. If you think about it, that is just extraordinary, Rollo was one of the very few people on the planet to have a .jpg of some ps3.0 benches setup officially by the one and only Nvidia. And he was good enough to bless this forum with them!! So maybe we are being a tad ingrateful, not to mention too doubting of his capabilities, and ability to deliver an answer to our current dilema with nonworking hardware on our 6800s!. I mean anyone who can deliver official Far Cry benches staged by Nvidia, or provide us with statements from their PR department in regards to how this issue will be fixed...I mean, maybe we ought not to be such doubters. After all, the guy did get a 6800 a full 10 days before the NDA was lifted. I mean anyone who can come through with such extraordinary insider coups, well certainly, well hopefully....this means that Rollo can provide us proof and unquestionable assurance, that our 6800's with a hardware flaw, will indeed be fixed with software.
Anyways, back to the subject. He is a Nvidia Fanboy and he knows it. He took exception to people wanting fixes for our non-working hardware because he didn't like us talking down on his precious little Nvidia. His speculation was legit, only because it was in favor of a positive outcome for Nvidia. Anything else in Rollo's sad little world, he took as an insult, and basically told everyone to shutup. I don't think many reading this thread including rollo himself think otherwise. He can call me what he wants, or insult me, I could care less. Maybe i get carried away, but I posted here and got a bit fired up because I do take exception to fanboys telling everyone their concerns over a nonworking feature are illegit, and that they have no right to speculate ect..ect.. Again, these flames mostly started about 10 pages back because of a sad little fanboy doesn't like negative things said about Nvidia. I'm quite sure the exact same thing has happened with Rollo before and will again, anytime someone has any sort of gripe with an Nvidia card.
You don't think much of yourself or like to pontificate, do you?
You might be mistaking my not thinking you or your posts are worth my time to address for not having responses.
As far as my "limited reasoning" goes, I have a BA/BS from a Big 10 college and a 137 IQ. This puts me among the people the people who have proven they can be trained and have some level of reasoning. Statistically speaking, it puts me in the top 25% of people in this country in terms of my level of education.
"And we "impatient apes""
Apparently your level of reasoning doesn't understand what a metaphor or colloquialism is, which doesn't surprise me. Google is your friend.
"he delivered for us ungrateful imbecils the farcry ps3.0 benches before they were officially released!!, that is quite an accomplishment indeed!"
Could you have done it? No. Did people want to see them? Yes.
"or provide us with statements from their PR department in regards to how this issue will be fixed...I mean, maybe we ought not to be such doubters"
I was the first person to post anything about their planned fixes here, or anywhere that I saw. Sorry I couldn't post NDA material, but I thought some would want to know at the time that it looks like they'll be getting some sort of hard WMV encode/decode acceleration out of their 6800s. I suppose I could have just kept it to myself and let everyone keep wondering, but I thought any info would be welcome.
"the guy did get a 6800 a full 10 days before the NDA was lifted"
Again, a lot of people were looking forward to the card, no one paid me my hourly consulting rate to run these benches, the early Doom3 benches, or the way early Far Cry benches. Trivialize my contributions to the board all you like, but answer me this:
Who has made more contribution to the board, the guy who spends some of his free time providing it with info that's not readily available when he can, or the guy who's showed up for 6 posts to whine about it like an egg sucking dog?
"Anything else in Rollo's sad little world, he took as an insult, and basically told everyone to shutup"
So I shouldn't have taken it as an insult when you called me a tool and ranted about my crime of posting what I know about nVidia for paragraphs? Who made you the AT thought police? As far as my "sad little world" goes, I do OK.
Have a good night, little man. You're on my ignore list. I think most people here can see what you are by your infantile ranting, some have even PMd me not to bother with your sorry ass.
