Sparkle puts old nVidia & AMD/ATI naming mess in shame

[Skrying]

The point of marketing is to benefit the manufacturer, supplier, distributor or vendor; it is most emphatically not to benefit the consumer.

Huh? I don't recall saying it was to benefit the customer. I'm saying the customer has a lot more targets they want to hit when they buy a product then you guys are stating. You can't just magically pick the best one because impossibly good products don't exist. Marketing tells us what targets we should be hitting first and that guides us towards purchasing the product being advertised and at least suggested to hit those targets. That's why when you break it down buying bread is a lot more complicated then simply picking "the most enjoyable" and why buying a graphics card, a expensive purchase, is MUCH MUCH more complicated. Now, if you want to simply be handed a product then told to go play with it be my guest. I don't want such a thing, and I know damn well no perfect product can ever be made no matter how much funding.
