So are the AMD/ATI fanboys going to boycott the 3 or 4 new great games a year ? Is it surprising the 9800 is competitive when , ATI's new great unbelievable 5700 series cards are truly sideways upgrades that offer no extra performance, except for vaporware DX11 , which does not exist in any form. When someone chimes in with power savings and lower heat, i'm going to lol milk out of my nose. Yes over the course of a year, this card will save you .57 cents. I'M GOING TO UPGRADE ~~!!!!
euh... I don't think you understand..
This is IN NO WAY a proof of nvidia's overall technology.
This only PROVES 100% that nvidia is PAYING gaming companies to screw ATI cards.
It only proves that nvidia has no REAL weapon against the awesome new 5800 serie
Cuz if they had, why would they waste even more money trying to make old cards look awesome over ati's latest tech?
And this is not permanent buddy. It happened quite a few times when nvidia was pissed over ATI and had nothing against them. It is generally taken care off after 1 or 2 driver update (1 or 2 months) and the REAL benchies will show how nvidia is nothing but a b!tch company.
And talking about the HD5770. Are you fkin kidding me? You come b!tch at a card that has 100% scales in DualGPU (against the HD4870 its replacing who had ~70%), give Eyeinfinity support, DX 11 AND Ati Stream?
Whats nvidia most known marketing technique. Isnt it renaming their cards? Why the fk would I buy the 9800, when its nothing but a 8800. With NO "vaporware" upgrade. This is what I hate about nvidiots. So much ego just because they have "the best performances" (also known as the best sabotage) for 200$ more.
Just to add, the HD5770 give AT NATIVE DRIVER the same performance of the HD4870 WHO IS ON ITS LATEST DRIVER. So keep it low a bit, the Driver updates of ATI are 1000x times better then nvidia's. 9.8 vs 195 driver versions.
AND the price of the HD5770 will drop as soon as HD4870 are EOL, wich means pretty soon. So for you, being incompetitive and rebranding the same fkin card is ok, but trying to save some money, just until your old brand is EOL WHILE giving some REAL upgrades (once again, tested on native driver) is OMFG THE WORST BLASPHEMY IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.
You make me sick.
