Tom has been in Nvidia's pocket for years. I never go there, because he is totally unrealiable and not objective. IMNSHO, all you'll get from Tom is whatever Nvidia tell him to say.
My favourite part:
Today, things are somewhat more relaxed. ATi chips have become a very respectable alternative to NVIDIA's offerings. NVIDIA's former rule of the iron fist doesn't quite work out anymore. NVIDIA is doing it's best to face one PR disaster after another, of course with the strong support of ATi's marketing department, which is doing its best to show that such archaic things as scruples or morals are only for the timid and old-fashioned ones in the business. Then there's us despicable press guys of course, who love to sell dirty stories as our own findings and then get really jiggy with it. I also almost forgot the world's No. 1 philanthropist Gabe Newell, who came down from Olymp to enlighten us with the real deal about NVIDIA chips. Ah, well, thanks for so much clarity, honesty and benevolence! God bless steamy Gabe and innocent ATi, who finally taught us that NVIDIA is actually sponsoring Al Quaida. We were hardly surprised when we heard that NVIDIA's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has been seen hiding Saddam in his back yard.
I asked Jonney Shih, Asus' CEO, at a recent lunch, if the decision to include ATi chips in the Asus 3D-card portfolio has something to do with NVIDIA's current problems. Jonney, who is famous for his modesty as well as extreme sincerity, told me that Asus would never do such a thing to its valued business partners. In fact, Asus did not start to offer ATi-solutions when NVIDIA was at its worst after the somewhat unsuccessful NV30 launch. However, now that NVIDIA has come back, he and his GRX VP H.C. Hung decided that the time is right.
THe's over, I think. Once and for ever...

Well I do not think the review is that bad.. They refuse to use the new detonator and grayed the results with the det 4x.xx when the IQ is not what it should be... Maybe a deal with ATI to get a review board?
Btw, the review at Tech report is much worse.. First they bash NV in the introduction, then use det 5x.xx in all benchmarks without a word on IQ..
I guess we are pretty lucky to have Beyond3d..

If only Nvidia weren't a source of so much dirty laundry this year. Amazing how Pabst remained dead quiet when Nvidia were marketing their Quack progie to the major hardware sites a few years ago. Regardless of obvious double standards, such comments like that are just flat-out unprofessional, IMO.

Yes he rakes a game developer 'over the coals' for speaking out, for telling the truth. As if we already didn't have the evidence the FX simply sucks at true DX9 precision and HDR.
Tom Pabst is a idiot, go play with your advertising dollars.

What an idiot...wow....Yea, I guess the good "Dr." Pabst has proof that it was the ATi employee indoctrination pages published on the web which tipped them over at Asus and brainwashed them into selling ATI-based 3d cards....Oh, yea...
I like that..."Jonney, who is famous for his modesty and extreme sincerity..." Famous? Never heard of him...
You know, it's touching how Asus was so conerned about the welfare of nVidia that they waited until nVidia "came back" before dumping them and going to ATi....touching, really. Sniff---hand me a hanky, T2K....
Where did nVidia go, I wonder? I wasn't aware they'd gone anywhere at all, let alone come back. Wow...What a truckload...
It never fails--just when I think I've seen it all....some idiot like Pabst amazes me with his sheer stupidity... Does he really imagine anyone at all might believe this tripe? And if so, what *good* does it do anybody? Makes Asus look like numbskulls and nVidia look like a poor lost sheep who's just found its way. To get inside Pabst's head would really be a trip, I'll wager...Dunno what Tom is smoking, but I'd really appreciate it if he'd send some my way.
If he'd like to point the finger towards a company promoting dirty or dubious tactics, then he should look no further then NV. From 'leaking' those Exluna renders this time last year and trying to pass them off as NV30 renders to their Image reduction tactics, 'review' drivers' and barely-shipping products, NV are at the top of the heap in that regard.
At least ATI have the products to back-up their action.

I'm sorry to say they stopped the tours, the ego-expansion project took up a lot more space than they thought in there...WaltC said:

ROFL @ digi.
Tom's and Anand are both cut of the same cloth these days. Interesting how Anand doesn't have his review up.
