Man, ever since the failed launch 6 weeks back I've been saying that there must have been major performance problems or a showstopping bug, and I was shouted down every time. "They're just waiting for a top-to-bottom release" was thrown around so many times it's unbelievable. Now not only was I correct about the performance issues, but it appears that there still WON'T be a top-to-bottom hard launch anytime soon. Don't see how this launch can be any more of a failure. Even if they make a lot of XT sales with low-ball pricing, that will still be murder on their bottom line. It's a disappointing day, I truly loved my 9500 Pro back in the day. On the bright side I've been playing every game maxed out on my 8800 for over 5 months now, so it's not all that bad!
i have been saying it for six months
... i even got a thread *dedicated to me* in FI for my prophecies
and i am *beyond sad* ... but i am already over it since i *expected* this cluster(^@#
from an angry and confused AMD ...
if anyone bothered to read between their Fud-lines
Unless someone - with a *vision* - buys AMD and fires their entire top management and ad department ... even IF Barcelona is "competitive" - unlike r600 - AMD is down the tubes and will just be a minor player
forget Fusion
