The leaked slides looked good but it looked to me they used favourable settings...obviously.

Bet their not as good as expected, but hope they do well for ATI ;)

In thirty years I have never ever known a PC product to live up to the hype it generates.

The last two that stood out to me were SSD and Voodoo 2.

I started pc gaming just before the 9700 pro and its still the standout launch for me. I owned a 9800 pro for years and it was still playing games not to bad when i upgraded it to a x1900xtx. I dont see the 7 series being hyped up so much as some previous launches, maybe because theres not been to much info leaked like some past launches, along with there being not so much wild guesses about performance and gpu stats.

It came close. Definitely a hall of famer.

But the GTX wasn't the top card was it? the Ultra was. And that wasn't quite as it should have been.

Yet the first ssd's repeatedly fell down, with constant usage and with stuttering on almost every ssd in the first couple gen's. Even now they have major issues with the "best" ssd's plagued for half a year by crashing that wasn't fixed.

But the 8800gtx doesn't count because there was an ultra, which was the same thing?

The 9700pro was ground breaking and simply awesome, Athlon 64 was a massive breakthrough, Q6600 being a sub £150 quad years ago with epic performance for the money and time it came out. Athlon t-birds/xp's. GF3 was epic. 2900xt late it may have been but a technical ingenious piece of engineering.

Then who can forget, the truly awesome, Bigfoot network cards, gaming nic's with massively identical performance for a very very low 10 times the cost.........

Congratulations ! you win the petulant award.

Today's word is......

ORANGE.

Now sit and write us an essay on why you hate orange because it's a shade of red mixed with yellow and thus not a true colour, and just how much you hate it.
 
I just found it funny you yet again used your 30 years experience, to make a claim of what were great products, and one of them had an abysmal start with almost universally unhappy users who had stutter they couldn't get rid of while quite laughably being epically overpriced, something you've been railing on for weeks about the 7970.

The second time I've seen you mention your 30 years experience, the second time I've seen a completely ludicrous statement.
 
Just been sent the AMD review guide packed full of benchmarks against the 6970 and GTX580. Not sure if this has been posted up yet but here's some numbers.

You do know that there is a term for people like you?

Do some research.

Basically you will post a reply, and in the first line of that reply say something like

"Did you have a point with that?"

That then sets the stage for you to start spitting your vitriol, and any thing the person preceding you said is completely irrelevant because you dispelled it all in your first line of posting.

Then when you think you have every one's attention you will start putting forward your opinions and thoughts because everything said up until that point is completely irrelevant because you didn't say it.

I have spent the best part of a week now (since I decided to stop lurking on the forum) reading your posts, and it's all the same. Infact, laughably at times you say things that do coincide with what others have said, but instead of just agreeing you reword that stuff and say it again.

The original voodoo card is my all time great, going back to around 1997.
I had a Diamond monster 4Mb (i think) paired with my matrox mystique200 and a P150 with 16MB RAM = joy.
 
Oh and Drunkenmaster.

As for your comment about SSDs being pants until they were sorted out?

My point exactly. The same fools rushed out and bought them pre TRIM and then complained of performance degradation and destructive firmware updates.

Same people that rushed out and got Sandybridge before realising it was broken, and the same people that will rush out and buy the 7970 based on a few charts.

the same logic used can also be said about you and your argument, no?
dosnt prove anything.

and I dont need people on a forum to agree with me or not, to many noobs around anyhow.

I would have expected BF3 fps to higher at 1900x1200 considering the card will cost £500. I was hoping the 7950 would do 1080P Ultra above 60fps

I gotta say ALXAndy some of the stuff you come off with is pure "ballex" as we say over here in N.I.

So I wouldn't really be in a hurry to criticise others words if I was you.

A discussion is just that. With points made, read properly and then you know? discussed.

Not just posting and saying "Pah, what a load of crap" before adding a load your self.

I suppose in N.I you have never heard the term "Do you listen, or are you really just waiting to talk?"

And I suppose that is why when something from an earlier post is brought up I like, you know? remember it. Because I have read it and taken it on board before carrying on a discussion.

And that's odd, btw. Because my ex girlfriend from Mohill in Gortfadda used to term it as "ballox".
