nVidia GTX570 reviews roundup

[Keysplayr]

I thought as much. Could you post the link that you assumed I was talking about from this topic. I be much interested in reading it. As for the new source . I would say some fella bobbed up and grab the guy by the balls very recently.

Same article, just before I saw the update. Do you have everything you need now?

I'm curious as to why you think any of FUD's poor accuracy has to do with an AMD Fud campaign, or AMD at all, and not simply the failures of a website that gathers rumors and is repeatedly wrong regardless of the subject?

This is, after all, the site that recently reported on the 570 launch and stated the MSRP would be lower than it turned out to be. Part of Nvidia's Fud campaign? I think not.

I don't see why FUD is given so much attention beyond some idle speculation, with its track record and numerous recent misses to boot. Being right once in a while does not a trustworthy news site make.

You can't put it together? FUD forwarded FUD. Why would it be so hard to believe that it is part of AMD's Fud Campaign? Shouldn't be. Unless you deny there was any AMD Fud campaign to begin with, then I could see why your curious enough to ask this question.

I was pretty sure thats what ya would come back with . Lord let the light shine on him as he dwells in a world of deception.

Yup. different article. My apologies. You didn't have any link, or even have your text in quotes. So, I had no idea where the text came from or even that it wasn't your own. :sneaky:

And now, we need to decide if FUD's other "usually well informed sources" failed them with this new info as well. Still part of AMD's Fud campaign I think. Though why they are continuing with it I have no idea.

My above statement.The reply above this one and than your reply back to me at top of page . It a shame keys that you get away with this stuff.

No denial here, just curious why you're so certain there is an AMD campaign, and further, that it's responsible for doctored slides. From FUD. Of all places.

Hasn't the site lost enough credibility that we're past the need to point the finger at red or green here? You are essentially claiming FUD reporting bogus performance information, then quickly retracting it, all the while reporting wildly varying card specifications, is all by the design of AMD...rather than merely FUD and its unnamed sources making educated guesses as it has proven to do time and again in the past.

Supposing you are correct, and AMD is spreading bad numbers to FUD (of all sites), my question would be: to what gain? First they gave numbers that were too low, then retracted them and tossed out higher numbers, all just a handful of days before the cards launch anyway. If the cards are competitive there are many avenues of leaking information that don't involve the least credible site in tech news. I just don't see it.

I don't doubt there are marketing campaigns churning in both camps, but honestly? This is FUD being FUD. If it seems they're throwing out a lot of AMD-specific info, I'd imagine it's because AMD is the one with new flagship cards launching.

I'll say it again: FUD is a gossip column. It's pretty much worthless for any reliable news. If AMD has some scheme to send them info, then--regardless of its validity--it's their loss.

firingsquad has a review up

While I have np problem believing AMD spreads disinformation/FUD, what ever term preferred. Why would they distribute obviously photoshopped slides? Wouldn't they distribute perfect but inaccurate originals? Why would they believe anyone would fall for such crappy fakes? No one besides FUD and possibly a couple of nVidia fanbois fell for it.

of what?

Did you guys see the slides of the performance benches of the NV amd cards going head to head . The slides are marked NV confidential. Anyone who believes those slides came from NV needs to adjust their thinin.

Agreed, I'm not saying it never happens but not this time. The NDA lifts in only four days!

The firingsquad review is labeled as a Preview on their site but has all the basic info and benches. Conclusion is basically "the 570 is a nice card that could be considered king of the midrange if you don't go for CF/SLI."

 

[Mistwalker]

The 570, of course. Hard to remember the thread title with all the 6900 series speculation, I know.

D'oh! That's exactly what happened. My first thought was someone had leaked a 6900 review. This is like a game of Simon says or Mother may I and I just lost. LOL

Hi,

Hasn't FudZilla just retracted his previous statement and benchmark slides regarding AMD's next high end?

http://www.fudzilla.com/games/item/21128-radeon-hd-6970-is-10-20-faster-than-gtx-480

For all those that don't want to go to the link (I wouldn't normally lol)

Update:
It appears that our usually well informed source failed us, and forwarded a photoshopped roadmap. So, we plainly got served. We are in the process of gathering more reliable info on Cayman performance and we will write an update as soon as we get something worthwhile. It will clearly end up quite a bit faster and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Hoping that they're both very close in performance between the vendors to get some nice prices on these!

Gainward GLH 570 reviewed by VR-Zone. Card looks really nice. It comes with a 6+8 pin pcie arrangement which is something I expected from some of the overclocked 570's, and turns out when overclocked it outperforms a 580. Pretty good deal $369.

They state explicitly they are going to use this card's numbers next week to determine their overall verdict on the AMD cards as well, which is something not unexpected.
