That is a brilliant way of preventing me from quoting you evensen007. Welcome to the forum...
I think I'll try it out today as well.
Nvidia has a new, very impressive architecture, why is that lost on everyone? Is ATI going to be able to match that, and still keep temps and power requirements low? I mean, that is what is making them champions of the people, even with the markup that hasn't come down...
They already have an architecture that can match the 400 series and keep temps and power requirements low. It's called the 5000 series.
And it is very significant that ATI was slated to release their new architecture on a new process, which
isnt happening. Reading skills...
Fair enough, although that doesn't mean it can't be good.
Come on man. Raving about increased market share due to a new series (which in all reality, is nothing more than a repackaged 4xxx series with DX11 support), while your competition isn't on the same footing in that respect, proves what exactly? I mean, how mny quarters does ATI need to find itself on par with Nvidia on the consumer end, let alone the other markets. Where are the new engines that software developers are creaming in their pants over?
Don't even get started on rebranding cards. Remember the G92? They still sell that as a 'new' card. Plus there is the fact that the 5000 series ISN'T a 4000 card with DX11 support. It could be though, that's all that ATI needs to compete with the 400 cards.
Let's wait to see how Nvidia ultimately packages fermi, down the road. Because that architecture advances gaming. ****, it even helps developers, who if you haven't noticed, develop on Nvidia cards for a reason, it helps them develop games that are just as friendly to ATI cards as Nvidia cards. Sometime soon, the days of ATI hotfixes due to compatibility issues should be dramatically reduced.
Did nvidia pay you some of the cash that was supposed to go to the game companies? You seem to somehow think the 400 series is a lot better than it actually is. The only time it's impressive is when you stick dry ice or LN2 on it to control the temps, since that's the only real thing keeping it from a large OC. At 1000mhz core, it gets some good scores. 700, not so much.
