Some comments from Nvnews...

Hmmmm...

Does Roscoe Sincero have any pseudonyms besides legion88 ?

 

You know, Joe, I just read the link and thought the exact, same thing.

 

Hey...just for kicks....lets see if we can run the 3D Mark "Quality" test in forced 128 bit color mode on the R-300....then do a X0R comparison to "prove" that R-300 has horrid image quality.

 

Pathetic

 

RE: overclockers.com

Alright normally this is something I would not post.. but this got right up my non-existant tits.

All I can ask is... why?

Anal retention can be cured - anyone know the remedy.


* I apologise in advance for soiling this forum with this act muck raking. *

 

There are so many things wrong with that post it sickens me.

1) He/She conveniently forgets that the R300's AA scores are 2-3x faster than the GF's scores. That means that in lower resolutions where the advantage is "only" 20% at the minimum, the card has MUCHO fillrate to burn.

What does this mean for gamers who run at 1024 and 1280? They can max the f*ck out of the graphical quality and still have silky smooth framerates. You *can't* do that with a GF4.

[EDIT]Not to mention the fact that those scores are obviously CPU limited. Considering the power demonstrated by the Clawhammer a few weeks ago, vs a P4 and Athlon XP, I'd love to see the R300 really open up on that one[/EDIT]

2) 21" prices are so cheap that I don't know *any* gamer who doesn't run at least 19". You can get a 19" for $200 these days. That's just a dumbass, uninformed comment.

3) At 1024 the scores were at the minimum 20% higher for the R300 than the GF4. If that's "not much better".... Dear lord..

At 1280 the differential goes even higher, into the 30's and 40's. Again, this guy is so unbelievably thick.

"It usually does pretty well at 1600x1200"... Usually??? WTF!!!!

4) "It is likely that if you like antialiasing and the like, this will do pretty well also, but let's see a little more proof on that first."

HUH? Ok, being 2-3x faster than a GF4 ti4600 with AA on, at 1600x1200, playable framerates, in Q3, Jedi Knight, Wolfenstein, as well as the blessing of Carmack for DoomIII isn't enough for him? Jeez...

 

Im guessing your calling the article pathetic and not me

 

His main beef seems to be with Anandtech....

But come on.. there is no such need for such abhorant language... paedophilia is not a laughing matter and to use such a word with regards to someone elses 'WORK' (yes even Anand had to work to get that preview out) is sickening to the extreme. He even had a pot shot (cheap shot) at Kyle's article (heh I dont even always agreewith Kyle all too much but I have more respect for someone who doesnt hide behind an editorial).

That was the biggest problem I had with that stupid editorial 'Ed' posted.

Plus the fact that his head really is quite firmly lodged in his ass with no signs of release (constipation I imagine.. please someone - we need to get hold of a laxative).

 

Maybe his article is sponsored by nvidia

 

That would be correct.

 

The same people who pay $300+ for their graphics cards. The same people who still get 80+ fps at 1600x1200, even with 2x FSAA and 16tap anisotropic. Um, duh?

Overclockers.com: Leading the way making "overclockers'" sites look like the moronic bafoons they are.

Natural selection and a capitalistic economies are wonderful things. The crap ends up on the bottom. Let's not link it anymore, ok?

 

I see you guys are not familiar with Ed.... he has been at it for a long time.

Doom might remember him as one of worst Intel fanatics from THG.

 

I can't remember the members name (something like biteme) but I do remember getting flamed there when I posted my Athlon 500 was stable


Please tell me its not him

 

No, Ed is the person that even Bitemeoff considered a radical. I am not kidding.

 

Seems like I missed that "fiasco"...

 

What was his username at THG?

 

You and most others.... Nvidia was suspected of cheating on 3Dmark as a result of their splash screens causing them to get higher scores. There was some converage on a few sites but for the most part it was not mentioned on any of the more popular sites. EG THG, Anandtech...... Go figure.

 

EDSTROLIG. During a particularly nasty argument when Ed predicted a complete AMD collapse within a couple of months, even BMO called him a moron.
