Ok not sure if this has been posted already. checked 5 pages and didn't find anything.
Well i just read Toms VGA Buyers Guide and my opinion of it is that it's just :|
It's definetly not good. It's mediocre leaning to bad.
Didn't Lars editiorial mention that the 9800pro and 5900ultra was dead-even in performance? Or maybe i'm just remembering wrong. But what's this?
And giving the FX5600ultra the editors choice award? :|
I'd recommend a ti4600/4800 over a FX5600ultra and here it gets the THG editorial choice :|
And why was only official prices mentioned? The selling prices are often higher or lower than those(depending on supply and availabilty). Even if would've only been prices in germany it still would've given a better perspective on what is cheaper and what isn't.
I thought this buyer's guide was bad. No positive points about it. Putting together a small review and naming it "Buyer's guide" with lots of cards might give the impression to others that the reviewer is doing lots of work. But i wont fall for that so easily and especially since the finished work wasn't good. Two benchmarks was used, Q3 and UT2003. The most common benchmarks that a certain IHV is suspected to cheat using the same tricks that was used in another popular benchmark.
This "Buyer's Guide" was just bad and i don't recommend anyone to follow the recommendations mentioned in it. At first i thought maybe THG actually wanted to make a REAL buyer's guide. But now after reading it it's very apparent that us consumers aren't high on their priority list.
In sweden a 9700regular can be had for 240€ while a FX5600ultra costs 200€. Which one would you rather buy?
Wooba Wooba

Safely called? There are no 3dmark cheats. There are no timedemo cheats. No further comment on that.
