That review was 100% bashing the X800. He seemed to base everything off of the fact that nvidia won in doom3.

Timberwolf you bad lad :P

This is pretty much what I just said to him in IRC five minutes before I actually see he posted

"he seems a bit too anti ati, ati can go ahead in one game...and its "atis miniscual benefits and slight advantages. nvidia goes slightly ahead in another game and its "the death of ATI, NVIDIA is the best!!!""

I never read the review properly as it seemed a bit to fanb0y to me...but he didnt seem to mention anything about opengl / d3d performance comparisons between ATI / Nvidia ... and at the end of the day the inquirer seems to have some odd quota to fill of news snippets a day to make itself feel worthy as a hardware reporter, so ends up just putting any old crap it can up.

I have read everything that was said in that link, and al I can say is....
it was full of flaws, riddled with misguided ideas, thoughts or oppinions that don't make any sence, and is a drumed up FUD campain.

if you have the x800xt, then you have the best card out on the market today.
be happy and injoy it.

don't let anyone from that site sway you in any way....just look at my siggy for more info.
