When will it end? And how can we trust benchmarks anymore <font color=red>I´m starting to feel like a real computer consultant.</font color=red>

Nope, supposedly R400 had flaws and the R420 is an improved version of the first next-gen ATI chip. <font color=red>I´m starting to feel like a real computer consultant.</font color=red>

I still wouldn´t handle this as official, but I´ve actaully heard the R420 being mentioned a few times during the last two months. It´s a bit strange that they opted for the 420 core name. Even though the R400 had some design flaws they could have just improved the core and call that the R400...

I haven´t used 98SE in awhile, and I don´t feel like going back, even though 2000 physically dupms the memory once in awhile. But hey, here´s a comforting(?) story. I had just formatted and installed 98SE, when the system at boot informs me that the dll.-library is corrupt. I had to start...

Huhm, could it then be a faulty motherboard/CPU? Yep, Terry Makedon of ATI´s driver team is there once in awhile. <font color=red>I´m starting to feel like a real computer consultant.</font color=red>

BS, you´ve been spamming the Futuremark boards :smile: Don´t try to deny it, I´ve seen you! <font color=red>I´m starting to feel like a real computer consultant.</font color=red>

No! I use DirectX 9.0a and Catalyst 3.4 without any kind of problem. In all fairness it should be noted that I´m not a hardcore gamer, currently installed is Half-Life (and CS), GTA - Vice City, Splinter Cell (which I completed today, wohoo!) and the demo of IGI2. <font color=red>I´m starting...

I would like to see business-sites taking notice of this, what Nvidia is doing can´t be jelly for the investors. I think that it in some ways also could be classed as false advertising. <font color=red>I´m starting to feel like a real computer consultant.</font color=red>

No problem dude, hope things work out for you. <font color=red>I´m starting to feel like a real computer consultant.</font color=red>

Even the hardcore NV-fans should have some negative opinions about the company now, with every cheat uncovered I loose more and more respect for Nvidia. I mean, they make great graphics cards, but this kind of behaviour is disrespectful towards consumers as well as journalists who rely on...

Well if you´re the kind of person who always goes by the easy and fast way, fine. But don´t cry and start ranting when you get issues. I agree that the way you described is how it should go, but hearing all the moaning about issues with ATI´s drivers, I use a safer method than that one. Includes...

Complete bullshit, courtesy of Addiarmadar. An board with AGP4x will do fine, does for me. If your motherboard only has AGP2x you might want to upgrade the rest of the system first, and then the graphics card. But what kind of a system do you have at the moment Niclas? <font color=red>I´m...

Yeah, technical terms can be damn hard to exlplain, especially if the readers don´t have a clue about even the basics. <font color=red>I´m starting to feel like a real computer consultant.</font color=red>

Huhm, I wonder why? :smile: The R400/500 might come out in the beggining of next year, maybe to counter <A HREF="http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20030608032259.html" target="_new">NV40</A>? ATI supposedly had a R400 pretty much done on the design-side, and it was something pretty...

I myself haven´t got any problems with Catalyst 3.4, but I´m running Windows 2000. I haven´t heard of an issue like this with the current set of drivers. How did you go by uninstalling/installing? <font color=red>I´m starting to feel like a real computer consultant.</font color=red>
