why is it that the Ati cards are getting shortchanged on the frontpage?
no much mention of the benchmarks or anything else when the 9700 was released and pages and links were posted in varius threads... even to date I cant think of anything posted other than oh yeah its coming out (re: ati 9700)
the nv30 already has had more frontpage positioning than the R300 EVEN THOUGH it has not been released nor is anything performance related known about this card... the R300 based radeon9700 has benchmarks AND it has price listings already... and yet there is still no mention of it on the frontpage...
why is this?
also when threads are posted concerning the ati 9700... nothing else but its raw performance... people come out of the woodwork talking about the older cards (7000-7200, rage blah blah blah) and the drivers and so on so forth...
well all and good... the r300 has been in development for a while and even with raw drivers it smacked the pants of the CURRENT market leader and that was what was posted...
when the nv30 comes out perhaps we can start a discussion thread about that... at the moment I would certainly appreciate this forum giving a little more even handed reporting on the cards...
I am not an Nvidia hater... I own an nvidia card and an ati card... its just like my household has intels and my system is a pentium... but there is nothing wrong in stating the stats on both cards...
besides the stats of what CAN be do not relate to anything... I continually point to the parhellia and the difficulties of the 0.13 micron process... heck the nv30 may end up being a superduper card 50x better than anything else the world has ever known... BUT at the moment we have other cards ON THE MARKET...or on preorder...
within This particular forum lies a thread I started with benchmarks and features concerning the radeon 9700 that I had forwarded to posted... perhaps it can belatedly be posted...
thanks
