all we ever see these days is 'nvidia slag ati' or 'ati slag nvidia' faked press releases for both companies...IMO theyre both to busy trying to out do each other to even bother with this stuff, its just people getting bored and trying to fill the gap between official releases with rubbish to keep themselves amused....
if you investigated anything, then you would know that nVidia not only released the x800 flogging slides, the x700 slides that we are talking about now....but the ATI briefing slides as well, quite some time ago.
(do a search of my name.)
the crazy thing is this type of stuff helps no one....not us anyway.
and to think, even "I" believe the 6600 cards are far better then the x700 cards.
why would nVidia need to do this if they care about us?
well, I don't think any IHV cares about little old us...yet at least nVidia has somewhat stoped all the big time cheating in the driver dept.
I realy didn't think they needed to even do that crap with the 58/5900 cards.
the thing is, nVidia is hopefull that they might get one or two extra OEM contracts out of this.
after all, not many OEMs truly investagate such BS anyway.
this is not the first time nVidia has done such crap, and it doesn't look like the last.
maybe if nVidia wants to gain credibility from informed people, it might want to start exposing it's drivers and listening to it's consumers.
seems they think they need to lie and mislead in order to garner respect.
the truly sad thing is that this is truely unnessasary...nVidia has such fine cards in basicly every catigory.
