FC3 was always a bit rubbish on multi-GPU for all set up's. Perhaps AMD have come up with a driver solution. Bad comparison point IMO.

Does hardocp stop access via IE or something? I can access the forums on ie but the main site just comes up as a black page on ie and has done for months now. :confused:

I hear some lonely 3Dfx worker shouting from the abyss; "We had the hardware T-Buffer, it made low frame rates feel smooth".

T-Buffer had nothing to do with that from what I recall, it was more for effects and fsaa than anything else.

It had - creating illusion of speed and motion. It also added motion blur and depth of field.

Makes me laugh with you lot, would slate HARDOCP as pro nvidia when ever they said anything negative about AMD, soon as they give them a bit praise they must be right.

What makes me laugh even more is that it's [H] of all people, bias sellouts run by pillocks. Take what Brent says with a pinch of salt and disregard anything Kyle says and does.

I find with [H] it's best to look at the graphs and settings and ignore everything else and move on to the other benchmark reviews.

Try this.

1, Tools or gear cog top right
2, Internet options.
3, Advanced
4, Reset

[H] in my naughty days was being used by me all the time to show how Nvidia jumped up and down on AMD and the beatings I took from a few of the guys here was funny. [H] post something good about AMD and now they are the wonder stuff.... Yer I'm so dizzy my head is spinning

Well you know..red is love and hate and green is hope and poison

The only ones kicking up a fuss are Nvidia users worried by these results.
