VisionTek mocking nVidia again...

Well from what I can gather Nvidia stuck the knife in Visiontek so turnabout is fair play, and Nvidia certainly left themselves open with the GF FX.

Visiontek was a corrupt company which had a bad habit of not paying part suppliers.

Visiontek being out of business was a good thing, regardless of what chips they use.

You done trolling? You keep harping on old news; every OEM has total control over what cooling solution they use, and it won't be the reference cooler you're hearing in the reviews. Gainward has already announced that their cooler will be much quieter. Evan Lieb is doing a GF FX round-up shortly, and has received indepenent confirmation from each OEM that their cooling will be MUCH quieter than the reference cooler. I also have a report from BFG that that they too have a different cooling solution. Now the only noise I'm hearing is the BS your spouting. As for which video card you use, I could care less, but to keep airing out BS info b/c you caught a world of poo over your Kyro II is just silly.

No, mines faster .

Also depends which benchmarks you look at; I'll reserve judgement until I see final silicon, cooling, and drivers in a retail package.

There must be a reason for VisionTek to mock nVidia. It is a shame for nVidia to cheat on their partners. At least, nobody mocked ATI before as far as I know.

Also, a factory overclocked Geforce FX is a cheating to nVidia fans again, it is not something I waited six month for. It is sad to see nVidia do this as a market leader of video cards.

AMD didn't OCed and sell their 2100+ as 2.4Ghz processor, Intel didn't OCed and sell their 1.8Ghz as 3.0Ghz processor. If Geforce FX is not overclocked, how come it generate so much heat with a 0.13 core, and required such a dumb heat spreader? and lower its performance once it is above certain threshold?

What is the advantage of 0.13 core now if it is already overclocked?

If NVidia do not change their ways of doing buiness, they will finally lose all their video card market period.

WOW.... I love the website!!!! I have a VisionTek GF4 4200... and the card have been really good to me...
If VisionTek starts making ATI card I would buy one!!! Mostly becasue of the website... J/K

This isn't really the original VisionTek though. The company went belly up and the remains were aquired by another company. Most importanty they purchased a recognizable brand and only in the interest of not tarnishing it they have extended support to previous customers. I suppose some of the former employees could have been rehired but not necessarily those in marketing and whatnot that are in a position to thus mock, if you get my meaning.

BFG has it right - this is a punk move that smacks of "Look at me!!!" and it only appeals to ATI Fanboys. If/when Nvidia is cock of the walk again, VisionTek will be SOL. Screw 'em!
