[citation][nom]gladiator_mohaa[/nom]The site belongs to those who own Toms Hardware and they can post whatever they want. I will still come and read their news, and besides....why are people seem so anxious to click on a title of news they "DON'T CARE ABOUT" just to complain when what does it really hurt for Tom's to put up anyway? It drives me insane when people waste their time to complain about something so small an insignificant thinking they are the only person in the world who reads Tom's.[/citation]
...because there are a few obsessive trolls who can't help but flood Nvidia news posts with immature comments, half truths, and misguided assumptions. I've been buying Nvidia GPU's since G80, but I was still Very excited when the HD5870 was released... I just have trouble understanding this level of hate for a company and its products. I can understand how people can dislike Nvidia, especially given the performance and implementation of the HD5000 series, but some people just have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to 'anything' Nvidia related.
These were the same people who've been screaming at the top of their lungs for months, trying to convince others that Nvidia's initial top part would have no more then 448 cores, that Fermi would be impossible to manufacture, that the die area would be larger then the gt200 (omg, 4x4 cm!), that prices would be completely unreasonable ($600+), that clock frequencies were lower then the HD5870 and would therefore be uncompetitive (either ignoring or unaware of the fact that high end Nvidia GPU's have been clocked much lower then ATI offerings since G80, while still offering superior or at least competitive performance).
And if the GTX400 series 'merely' equals the performance of the HD5000 series? Well, that would be lower then expected, but in relation to the trolls pride, So what? If you smear enough bullshit about a product for long enough, eventually your going to be right. Unfortunately I've seen people buy products that were far worse (Radeon HD2900 XT, Geforce FX5800).
