    Hellbinder? Well, I hope anyone still arguing they are real hoists the white flag ASAP.

    Well what really makes me question that review's credibility is the lack of details. Performance is fine, but what about heat, power, size and last but certainly not least, fan noise?

    I would take this whole thing with a truckload of salt...

    However, if within the next few days they do post some actual photos of the card, I could start to believe them...

    hellbinder is right more often than he's wrong, and that's all I need to know.

    Also, he's obviously pro-ATi so I doubt he'd confirm these specs/benchmarks if they're false. Nothing to gain by doing that. The truth will be out soon enough and then he'd look like a fool.

    I've also heard that Anandtech is giving credence to these specs, so are they talking BS too?

    Where have you heard that, and do you mean DailyTech? And they're not talking BS if they truly believe things tally up with things they've seen, but they're still wrong.

    As for Hellbinder being right most of the time....... :runaway:

    Well, Hellbinder said that he never be correct all the time to as he sometime was used on purpose...
    Thus, at this point both Razor1 or Hellbinder may be used as a messager to the community :wink: (no insult here)! Anyway, at Rage3D now, even Kombatant also came out and seems to agree with HB that it might be not a rumour anymore:!:

    It would take a few weeks to see what is the truth, let wait and see... now, thing is being heat up. Who might know by the end of Jan, NV may offer a new revision of G80 too :shock: Think about that NV can keep the G80 unify hardware in secret until almost the time it was released.

    He's wrong a billion times more often than he's right, except on stupidly obvious stuff that even a drunk carrot would be able to get right.
    Are you naive enough to believe it is in AMD's best interests to spread anything but partial misinformation to potential leakers at this point?

    I just remembered the speculation regarding R520 about a year and a half ago. There was this guy, what was his name? Sanders I think, who also posted a review in advance...

    Did it turn out to be more or less correct or fake?

    You live in the same city as me. I'm not adverse to coming round to teach you how to interpret sarcasm, for a nominal fee of course :razz:

    Well, "nearly the exact same" kinda fits a 1-2% margin for all games imo, but I'll admit that sentence was a tad ambiguous at best. As proposed above, it's possible those guys are just some random jokers from the german 3d forum community, who decided they'd like to see how many people would believe such a thing. I don't really care where this thing is coming from though, since it's obviously not correct.

    I didn't mean to reference as you said fully agree with HB :wink:

    Anyway, I do apologise if I did mis-interpret your reply.

    It isn't just down, looks like the plug has been pulled on the site entirely. The plot thickens...

    Maybe this is the cause. :-D

    It looks like the site is up and down. Having connection problem maybe. This link may very well be the explaination.
