lmfao mangy, holden so sad, I'm just tired of all these Nvidia fanboys! The fact of the matter is their a quite a few drivers for the card out, some much slower then others so you must look at the fastest to see whats really going on. Haven't you noticed all the sites have scores all over the place? Some showing it's a beast, others showing it's teh weak. This is because all the different drivers out, which is why if your going to judge the card you have to look at the higher scoring ones like ExtremeTechs GURU3D Tom's Hardware No why would i need to look at other sites you have spammed every page with the same post showing the info and why am i a fanboy?? Do i say anything about nvidia i see you just love ATI i have no problem with that.
For the person who was justifying this over a console. Most people only buy a new console every 5 years. In the case of my self, your talking about end of 2000 for the PS2 vs. end of 2006 for the PS3, 6 years. Why would anyone need to justif it over a console?? People buy what they like
@Romanticide: What rock have you been hiding under? Get back in the loop, consoles have been dominating the market for the last 2 years, and have continued to do so throughout this year thus far -- and show no signs of letting up. Yeah he is stating there far behind on technology and its only gonna get better for the pc like always . And why only 2 years consoles have been big from the early nineties what rock have you been hiding under for so long?
