ATI vs. Nvidia

[SpetsnaZ]

Everyone is intitled to their opinion, and I think that websites like Tom's Hardware are just pieces to a puzzle of opinions and benchmarks.....it's up tu you the reader to get as most info as possible and make your own decision on what is good and what is less good.

It's all about marketing........nothing else! Every one likes a perticular brand and some epople will have trouble saying another brand is also good...but there are some people who are bias to what ever brand. A team of writters has many members, some might be true to the principle of fairness in not promoting what they like better but instead give an honest opinion based on test results............but some others like to sell what they like or what they are paid under the table to sell...get it !!!!!!! Personaly, I think that Tom's hardware is 90 % straight up honest !! But that's one man's opinion.

I'd say that's a fair analysis

Hey, of course I'm fair, I'm bias to all website reviews hehe

i'd say information wise thats about right. im just more upset about what they DON'T promote, or what they DE-PROMOTE (word?) but just like u said, its an opinion lol. you can never find a website that suites your every need...

 

[Praetor]

Yet ... hopefully ComputerForum will blossom

 

[SpetsnaZ]

or what they DE-PROMOTE (word?)

Not a word, but here's a variable : degrade

i knew it wasn't a word...close enough though.

Dıd anyone consider the fact that Nividas new card supports Direct X 9.0c and Ati does not??? Could be a problem for people who like to think ahead.

Either way, i'm still an ATI fan, i think the girl thats on the promotions of the new ATI card is much hotter than the mermaids on the promotions of NIVIDA.....just an opinion

i wouldn't care if nvidia's mascot (<whatever) was a big fat hairy white guy, i'd still buy them lol.

Hey, marketing is what sells products....

And ATI seems to be winning in the pole so something must be working for em. I mean besides the fact they're very good cards.....

Dunno how much that rule applies to $400+ videocards realistically i think there's too much emphasis on the proverbial pissing contest and not enough on enjoying your hardware

 

[SpetsnaZ]

True.....that's why we have forums like this one.......less proverbial pissing more hands on talk.

It was founded on 30 November 2003, but things really started to grow around July 04.
This was the very first thread.

you will notice a few familiar people in that thread.

This place also sees its fair share of trouble.

and doesn't promose/let u disguss illegal stuff

We now have a set of rules in place, and will be taking a rather hard line stance on not allowing discussions on illegal stuff. The site will have a primary focus on hardware.
