Missed that !
You are correct, he did leave in the part about Radeon Xpress boards not existing in the real world
Can I ask a question - there is something that has been bothering me - what 'shimmering article' is everyone refering to ?
The emails that I have read seem to be true - specifically the part where I tell Sander that we should 'forget this for now - catch up with each other at CeBIT - I will buy him a beer and we can talk about how best to go forward'
I can't do more than that with anyone
However, the fact...
On a more positive note...
...any 'betting folk' among you want to hazard a guess on real benchmarks ?
Specifically, if you take a 'fewest bottlenecks' system with an FX-57, 2GB memory etc and an R520XT - what kind of 3DMark05 score are you expecting at default settings ?
If memory...
OK - I see where you are coming from
I was coming at it from a different angle, which is...
...he has made a public statement about what he considers to be 'best practice' in terms of testing...
...and that 'best practice' does not seem to have been applied here
I was not focused on...
Really ?
Apologies if you think that
This letter is in the public domain and seems to clearly state the standard by which he believes sites should work when running numbers
My interpretation is that he is saying "you should have the product in your lab - with your regular test...
Tom,
I must say you've made a total joke out of yourself with your latest 'update.'
Quite frankly, I have had no problem whatsoever with the 1.13GHz Pentium III and I'm using the exact same motherboards (Asus, Via and i820 chipset as well as the old P2B) as I presume you're using.
If...
Sorry for the delay - but this kind of 'exchanging' is not really what we do
Although we were prepared for the situation - the timing was 'excellent' as we were away at an annual conference
We saw the numbers - contacted our benchmarking facility (4 top guys + hundreds of boxes) and asked...
OK - I said I wouldn't post again - but I have :oops:
Next time I encounter Sander with a group of witnesses (i.e. plenty of free-minded press or Beyond3D forum members), then I would definitely be up for discussing the whole thing out in the open
I know exactly what was said - and when...
Setting the record straight
Traditionally, I don't post in this forum.
Although I have massive respect for the work that goes on with Beyond3D - I always feel that the forum is best left to enthusiasts in the general public as well as the hardcore technologists from ATI and other...
