Its the ignorant ones that jumped in head first thinking that they were real.
Nice try Ackie!
Fortunately you and a 12 post member saying "Those can't be real and anyone who thinks they are is just a big poopie head!" isn't enough to discredit the website's info.
Neither of you has offered any links to another website that refutes the benchmarks as proof of your allegations? Why should we take your word over the Hardware Analysis?
ATI has some very good reasons to post that the benchmarks are fake, as they don't exactly portray their upcoming products in a very favorable light. (and they may be trying to sell off the rest of their stock before it totally tanks)
ATI could be scrambling to wring more performance out their parts before their "launch" and not want us to see where they're at now?
Did ATI tell us about the 16X12 at 60Hz limitation of their crappy multi-GPU pseudo-solution? No. We had to learn about it from Rage3d and Penstarsys.
Did ATI tell us about their insider trading antics? No. We had to wait for all the lawsuits to become public record.
Did ATI tell us they had trilinear optomizations in their drivers now? No. We had to get it from the web.
Did ATI tell us of their application specific "optomiztions" for 3dMark? No. We had to learn it on the web.
Did ATI tell us about their application specific "optomizations" for the 8500? (Quack) No. We had to learn it on the web.
Did ATI tell us about the "trylinear" optomizations? No. We had to learn it on the web.
Did ATI tell us about their insider trading a few years ago? No. We had to see them convicted of it and paying $900,000. in fines.
Etc ad infinitum.
The fact of the matter is that ATI has a
long history of misleading the public. I don't particularly care as I'm only interested in their video cards, but don't make it out like they're some outraged "innocents" looking out for the public welfare denouncing the only benchmark info we have at this point. :roll:
