Nvidia "Community Outreach"

I would have no problem with this if the members stated who they are and what the goals of the members are.

By the way, I could think of 2 ppl that could be members to this like RUINED and ROLLO.

 

Hrmm... What a bunch of trouble-makers you all are!
I think a coup de grace for Nvidia would be to get DW to sing their praises.
Surely a sign that the apocolypse is nigh...

I think it is a bit disturbing to think that a. a very modest witch-hunt may be underway, and b. we may have witches in our midst.

Tech Report gets the goods!

 

I really cannot understand how some people can be so blind to the things surrounding them.

 

Well, I wouldn't go that far.

If NV hiring AEG is as innocuous as we'd all like to believe, and as I'm generally inclined to believe (my suspicions of certain posters notwithstanding), why wasn't this communicated to us early and often by both parties? You have to wonder how a PR dept as maligned as NV's for being so efficient would ignore this. We're surely not too small to merit a response, as it's precisely forums like these that are being targetted.

And am I the *only* one who turned AEG down (technically, never even talked with them)? Who's smart and on top of things now?

 

Quoting oneself is nice

 

Thanks for endowing us with your wisdom.

 

Thats two possible supects. I can't think of anyone else. It's way easier to find people likely to be payed by ATI. Are you sure it's really NV thats behind this? The reds fits the profile way better.

 

Really? I can't think of anyone who would fit on that side, and besides ATi has said they don't do it.

 

Not at all. Rather I'm not convinced that it's been required of engaged people, that signed NDA, to keep quiet about it.

 

Popcorn 2, large please.

 

If that's true, then why haven't we heard anything from anyone that's in the program? If not to just say, "hey, I'm in the program and take a look at my posts and see I'm not such a bad person" . Seems that, if it wasn't some kind of secrets to be hiding....then they would be hidden!

There are 3 choices out there where D. Perez is concerned:
1) He's being truthful
2) He's lying
3) He doesn't know

Pick your poison........door # 1, 2 or 3!

BTW, cosider this. Kyle at [H], whom some feel is somewhat nVidia oriented posted this in their thread concerning this subject:

 

Absolutely! Understand, I don't feel nVidia is evil, just unethical. And, fact is, I still not only buy their products, but own more nVidia products than ATi products. In most cases I buy what I feel is the best deal, no matter who makes it. Of course, I always get the new generation highend(or just below the highest end) from both companies just becauser I take everything on posted on the net with many large grains of salt. And, if nothing else, this thread is just another good reason to do so.

 

Interesting, though, that I recall at least a thousand posts written by a thousand other people which essentially have said the same thing. Pretending that I am the "only one" is not only inaccurate, it's ridiculous. Point in fact: which were the websites which broke the "3d-Mark cheating fiasco" which Martrox speaks of above, if not B3d and ExtremeTech? In fact, I actually learned of the events therein from both of these websites. Saying that I am singled out because "it's all I've got" is an extremely lame characterization, imo. Perhaps it is because I usually put it so well?....

Unfortunate as you may feel it to be, my time is limited these days for forum hopping. Sorry...

 

And now, the INQ posted it...
Nvidia denies it seeded forums with chums

 

Why let people whip up a storm that can damage your reputation and undo all your hard marketing work when a clear statement can clear everything up to your advantage?

Dodging the question, threatening lawsuits and trying to get other people to pressurise the article author just makes you look guilty of something underhand, because that's the way you are acting. Now you can see how this poor handling of the situation has exploded over the web because Perez has made it look like there is fire under all the smoke.

If you're doing nothing wrong, especially when you are being accused, the logical thing is to come out and catagortically say you're doing nothing wrong, just like Catalyst Maker did.

 

you're quoting the wrong part.. this one from the consumerist is contradictory to techreport:
