I disagree. If somebody benchmarks the V5 *correctly* and with performance optimizations enabled, you'll find high-resolutions side-by-side with the V5.
That's what I wanted to ask you. A long time ago I saw the Kyro review you guys did and there were some really odd results you were getting. Your GF2/V5 scores were much lower than anybody elses I have seen and there were cases of the V5 scoring higher than the GF2. At that time you mentioned your scores were lower because you run at higher quality settings than everyone else.
There are some inconsitencies with your story:
(1) I have seen at least 15 independant hardware sites and not one of them ever recorded a V5 beating a GF2.
(2) Other sites use the maximum quality settings as well and were getting far higher scores than you were.
So my questions to you are:
How is it that the V5 was beating the GF2?
If the answer is "because it was tweaked" then surely doesn't that mean that your scores should be much higher than the other websites?
I'm sorry but tweaking one card and leaving the other at stock settings and then running the benchmark is not a benchmark. It's an obvious bias toward one company and the fixing of the tests. Whether or nor you can see a difference is irrelevent. You can't just start turning things on/off whenever you feel like it. It's outright deception.
