Talk about a gathering of clueless idiots. Sheesh. :rolleyes:

Completely Incompetent. My personal favorite..

However pushing it over the £300 level places it with the 5900 Ultras, and the 256Mb versions, with which it simply cannot compete.

Which is so totally false that it is actually BEYOND absurd.

Hehe,..that's ok HB. Just another site to put into my "Favorites" Trash folder of IE. :D

Stuff like this let's you know about sites that do or do not know what is going on. For instance: This particular site, while well worded (albeit brief) HAS NO CLUE!

they have less than 400 members...

who cares what the guys review states in this case ?

I do have to mention his utter disgust @ pixelation caused by overclocking the memory and the core...

apparently this particular reviewer does not like it when he pushes things by 20-40mhz and sees artifacts... what a shame...

:rofl

That is kind of cool. Been writting software for video cards for the better part of 15 years and have never gotten a free video card. Odd priorities.

Hehe.."The card plugged into the AGP slot, it ran good. Conclusion: Buy it."

Funny that eh? I would love to be able to pay $300 for ANY of the latest graphics cards. Cards like the Geforce 4 Ti 4600 are around that price tag here.

I've been trying to figure out why Gainward sent them the first CoolFX sample. Seems like insanity. They're a tiny site and they're full of horse crap.

On the other hand if you judge performance by 3dmark03 with el-cheato drivers and with no tests that use AA/AF then I guess you can just go buy a TNT2 and turn off rendering all together and get 100 000 points. :rolleyes:

"When I shoved this card up my bunghole it felt really good. I give it the bronze award since my crap is all over it giving it a brownish finish. It was gold originally though."
