Gstanfor my posts have always been on topic and the majority of the time I back them up with links and numbers. Yours on the other hand show what a true Fanatic can be. Heck it just takes two secs for people to look at your signature and see that you have to clearly state your not with AEG. You ever wonder why they think you are? Because you dont make sense, your numbers dont add up, you are a fanatic. Have you ever suggested any ATI cards? I have suggested Nvidia cards many times, in fact take ten mins and go through my post history, just a day or two ago I suggested someone upgrade to either a X1800XT or 7900GT. Guess thats my fanatical self saying either or, unlike Mr. High and Might Gstanfor whos immune to the disease he is claiming others have.
"He's the worst sort of fanatic in my eyes - doesn't even have first hand knowledge of the technology he talks about while probably sitting on a r200 derivative, yet has the gall to be critical on nvidia (not the only one in these forums). "
To the above post, I am critical of numbers that are freely avaliable to everyone. And I have a X800XL, a card thats pretty much superior to your 6800GT in almost all current benchmarks, so please lets talk about who dont have what or who does have what a little more considering you dont have many of the cards you argue for or against as well. So I guess I am a fanatic because I discuss numbers without having the cards, but you do the exact same thing and your not. LMAO how do you convince yourself of this stuff?
And by my own admission I have other bills that are more important, I could go into savings if I wished and purchase a card now, you dont know or understand what I do or dont have. Once again you post bogus facts, without any proof, or heck even the slightest inkling of any knowledge at all about what your speaking. Please keep proving how little you know by opening your mouth and showing it.
And yes I am critical of Nvidia. As it stands Ati cards are generally faster. This is speaking of standard off the shelf cards. A X1800XT beats a 7900GT in most benchmark sites I have seen, A X1900XTX beats a 7900GTX in most benchmarks I have seen, heck in some benchmarks my lowly X800XL managed to overtake a 7900GT. I have owned many Nvidia cards, the last being a 6800 OC that was pure crap compared the X800XL I replaced it with. It ran Farcray and several other games very badly. The X800XL has ran almost every game I have thrown at it including Oblivion with HQ settings on perfectly.
So yes I have the gall to point out the obvious, sorry that you can look at the world with blinders on and not see what everyone else does. I will say this though, keep trying theres bound to be a AEG scout around somewhere.
Love how you deduced that I have or have ever had a R200 in my machine, more numbers pulled out of thin air, or maybe a bit lower in your case. Never had or owned a R200. Speaking of the R300s your claiming I dont have, I have owned five. I still have two sitting in the living room now. One in a second machine and one in anti-static wrap.
