So disagreeing with you and explaining why is now called trolling?
I don't think you understand what trolling actually means along with half of the other people on this forum.This isn't the first time I've got you on hypocrisy. You say the 6900s are a let down? They're just as much of a let down as the GTX500s considering the 6900s are ahead of the 5000s just as much as the 500s are ahead of the 400s. They're both let downs and failures compared to the previous lot of cards. I'm starting to think nVidia could bring out any piece of crap and you'd defend it to death with talks of "the best", "premium" and all the other buzz-words you're so fond of.

I think you're having a bit of a diva moment to be honest Coupe69. His reply to you was completely reasonable without anything personal at all directed your way. Why would you react like that for nothing?.
I agree with his reply to you every bit.
Ooh, does that make me a troll lover?.
I think you're getting low price confused with value for money, they don't mean the same things.
I doubt a release of a high end consumer card like the 570 would bump a companies stocks with a multi-billion dollar market cap like that.
570's and 580's exist for the e-peen, and exposure more than anything.
So do you think the premium over the 6950 to the GTX 580 is worth it for the performance gain?. Even the performance gain from the GTX 570?.
The way people are banging on is that you buy a 6900 series card and it's like night and day between that and a GTX 570/580. Yes they are faster cards, but the performance gain given for the price over the very capable 6950's flashed isn't nothing enough to start flaming the card for a poor performance.
I know the GTX 580 is a faster card, I know the GTX570 when overclocked is another force to be reckoned with but it doesn't make the cheaper 6950 a bad buy and that's what a lot of forum members are trying to portray for some insane reason. It's starting to do my head in this product loyalty garbage. I hope the manufacturer you defend comes and tucks you in at night and sings "soft kitty" to you as you drift off into a wonderful sleep filled with attacking robot unicorns.

570 for epeen lol, nonsensical post right there.
He's talking about nVidia, not the consumers, and it makes sense considering how much they're struggling to make higher Fermi based cards.

Makes no sense, you buy a 570 for its performance not for epeen, to suggest nvidia release cards for epeen is laughable. There is plenty stock of the 570.

As I said, I don't think it was about those buying it. As for nVidia's "epeen" it looks bad on them when they're not releasing things, that in itself makes sense.
To me yes. When I upgrade I buy the fastest option available to me at the time. Currently that is a pair of watercooled 480's and before that a 4870x2. I have no manufacturer preference, if AMD has the best performing option come time for my next upgrade they will get my money. I have no issue with people who are not prepared to do that and and go for the cheaper option (to be honest they have more sense than I do). I just get tired with those who seem to portray bang-per-buck as the be all and end all.
Edit: I wish I did have a robot unicorn, that would be ace.

Are you not doing the opposite of that?
Did you not see what I said immediately before that?
If some people want to spend the big money on the fastest available part then that is their choice, and is no less valid than that of those who go for the cheaper but still close performing part.
People spending big money for a constantly diminishing performance/quality improvement happens pretty much everywhere. I wonder, did everyone tell the owner of OCUK that his choice to buy a Ferrari 599 was daft, as he could have got nearly the same performance from something costing half the price?

I'd suspect that most people buy ferarris because of the brand over its performance considering the minute chance of actually putting the performance to good usage. Prestige and all that crap. I'd like to think most people don't buy computer hardware with prestige in mind as it makes no sense, I do know that there are at least a few people on these very forums though that associate prestige with the nVidia brand, it's often the same people who bang on about "premium" "just works (while ignoring the cases where it doesn't)". So yeah, some people will buy what they perceive to be the best even if they're never going to get their money's worth out of it.

(Phone post sorry for the mistakes)
Just heard that Dirk Myer got the boot at AMD I wonder if this is partly down to Nvidias tie up with Google and ARM in the phone market and Dirks refusal to take AMd into this growing market. A big oppatunity has been missed IMO.

Sorry about that. My question was aimed at you, the rest was just a rant from viewing people's behaviour over brand loyalty. It makes me sick.
I'm like you, I'll buy from either but it doesn't always have to be the best performing card for me. I only had a small budget after Christmas and thought I'd buy a cheap gaming rig before moving over to SandyBridge in April/June. I'll have to wait to see what GPU is king at the time or if it's worth the wait if something is lurking in the shadows
.Oh, just search for "robot unicorn attack" in Facebook. A single press of the "Z" key will give you your dreams desires.
NZXT30 said “tegra 2 happened“
I hardly think that’s the reason the first devices have all got bad reviews, others have been pulled from the market or dropped as the GPU is too slow. It’s looking like at best Nvidia will get 7% of the market and most likely much less this year.
