Oh yes he can and did. Jen-Hsun claimed the ATI products were no better than NV40 on PCIE because the ATi products did not have a native bridge, that ATI would use an external bridge as does NV40. At the Intel Developer's Forums it was quite clear - Intel noted the method of PCIE...

It isn't transistors or MHz that counts. It's performance, and I don't care how its delivered (transistor, MHz, or both). I will point out that the more transistors you have, the harder it is to get to the higher MHz. I am also wondering if nV rushed the 6800 into production just to try...

Sure. If you look at the various Intel events of the last several months, it's pretty clear ATI has a true native PCIE interface and nV does not. I will say it out loud: Jen-Hsun Huang is an honorless bald-faced liar who will state anything to get what he wants. What he said about the...

OK - I have to admit - good come-back. :lol:

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Yeah. Right. Something I can't buy "exists". Jeebus this thread is really in the toilet. Why isn't it locked?

P.S. to my previous post. And why is it plain stupid to deliberately make your product run better on one piece of HW versus another? Well why would you give control of your destiny to another party? That is so counter-intuitive to good business, not to mention the egos involved.

But ATI did not pay Valve to make HL2 run better on its product. Go back and look at what was actually said by Gabe and also by ATI in what? October? I believe both parties claimed the only money that changed hands was for the right to bundle the game with boards. This is completely...

Actually one really wonders why this thread is even open at this point, and why it wasn't locked around post#3.

Oh please Chalnoth. Why not just label yourself as an nVidia employee and spare us the flaming thread title.

I dunno. I think 3Dc is somewhat orthogonal to DX9.anything. P.S. Usually I perceive DC as being pretty pro-nV, but on this issue I think he has it pretty much right. I think his observation on ATI productizing 3Dc and not spending any effort on DXT5 is a good one, although I suspect we...

Would you believe two years?

Why?

Uhhh - that would be Vivoli and Tamasi. Ratman and Boy Blunder. Stan and Ollie. Abbot & Costello. Masters of marketing du jour.

Wow. Long thread. X800 Pro at $299? Really? Forget what the XT or 6800 Ultra perform at. If the performance delta of the X800 Pro is as small as it seems to be from those two top-end cards, who would throw their money away on them? Get the X800 Pro and spend the extra $200 on something...

I don't think intentionally disguising what you are doing on the down side (i.e. claiming less than you have) is anywhere close to the moral equivalent of claiming you aren't doing something you are (i.e. "those really aren't cheats in our drivers, they are bugs"). One is designed to mislead...
