Nvidia and Futuremark kiss and make up

[Goodie]

Bleh , see all you guys thought Nvidia was cheating and I had made a post before ssaying that it was not cheating and now the truth comes out. Nvidia didnt cheat and as a die hard Nvidia fan I'm glad I stuck by them when everyone else accused them of cheating. All they were doing was taking a different optimization strategy, bleh @ who ever thought it was cheating.....

It was and still is cheating. I'd say Nvidia threatened Futuremark to make them change their stance...
anyway..
Let the cheating begin!
May the best cheater win!

Shame on nVidia for cheating! Shame on Futremark for backing down!

Looks like ATI is the only one who can stand against the Nvidia Corporate Monster...

Im sure there will be an onslaught of uninformed fanboys saying "I told you that nvidia didn't cheat" and pointing to futuremark's statement.

And people still doubt my ability to predict the future... sigh.
