Wow, the writing in that article, is, mind, bogglingly, bad and, totally, incomprehensible. I used to have a lot of respect for Tom's, but anandtech does a much better job and I don't have to reread sentences 3-4 times to decipher their meaning. I'm still trying to figure out this one:
"It should be noted that the Radeon HD 3870 places below the HD 2900 XT when there are only 3 games in which is this actually the case, but they are (TDU, UT3 and Call of Duty 4) those with a high number of frames per second and thus more weight ."
wow, just wow.
