There is a variation between representatives, but this is the first I've heard of them refusing to swap a monitor out, and I've read a hell of a lot of comments on these models over a long period of time. I'd suggest there was something specific about his case that was a problem, or he...

I'm not sure why the lawsuit is relevant to whether they're good monitors at a good price from a company that isn't going to stop trading anytime soon. There have been many, many threads about Dell monitors and the ease with which people have had them swapped out. HardOCP have had a bunch in...

You clearly haven't looked at all - there are masses of LCDs >1280x1024 at the price point you suggest - Dell, for example, have a bunch, including a 20" 4:3, and 20/24" widescreens. A number of others will at least offer you 1600x1200 20" 4:3 screens at a decent price. Dell will also let you...

They'd have a point if I could actually buy an ATi card that beats the 7800GTX across the board. Or if I could buy a midrange card before the end of November. Or if they'd released their line up months ago. Or if they hadn't completely botched the Crossfire launch. Or if I couldn't point to...

I can think of no general scenario where 80% will happen, given the specs. Perhaps in some very, very specific synthetic tests, but aside from that no way. Of course, whatever happens, it's pretty funny for Sassen to be writing this after he spent the better part of a week trashing the R520...

Countdown to anecdotal evidence on HDD reliablity, which has no grounding in fact... :roll:

Doubt it. Futuremark have publicly said a number of times in the past that they're unwilling to use AA/AF as default, due to the differing implementations from ATi and NVIDIA, and that it's difficult to tell whether they're doing the correct samples. That said, the same can be said for non-AA/AF...

...nothing. I didn't say the R520 necessarily WOULD be better - your comment was that you didn't care that much about ATi improving performance over the 7800GTX, since you don't think there are any games which really need the added speed. I gave you an example of a very intensive title which...

1. B 2. No 3. Dell 2405FPW

FEAR would like a word with you - I'd go as far as to call the performance there unacceptable, especially in higher resolutions.

Whilst the game improvements look impressive, I wonder why both 3dMark benches show significant drops in Quality mode.

8888. Such is my confidence that it won't be 10k or over, I'll promise to buy one if it is infact five figures :)

I suspect this has more to do with behind the scenes politics and long term projections than any short term performance considerations. NVIDIA already knew ballpark performance figures for a non-unified DX10 architecture when they made their initial comments, so it seems pretty unlikely that...

Wasn't there some discussion a while ago about DX10 no longer being tied to the Vista release date? Perhaps Fudo has just misinterpreted this as being a new DX9, rather than a sooner-than-expected DX10?

I suspect this is just a case of Engrish translation striking again. There will be no 660mhz Ultra.
