all this talk about fanboys and you still fail to recognize that nvidia did it first!
I mean seriously you're only mentioning how it's bad for ati to do it? only an extreme fanboy would say it's ok for nvidia to do it, but not for ati.
I'm far from a fan boy I've used both ATI and Nvidia and have no preference concern except for my wallet. In the last few years I've used the ATI 9600 Pro, x1600 Pro and recently Nvidia 9600 GT all of which were the best bang for the buck upon purchase and I have no regrets or alliances.
I don't care whether Nvidia started marketing with dodgy graphs first or not it doesn't mean ATI has to follow the band wagon. Secondly I lost some respect when Nvidia did it too.
- When graphics card companies have to mislead customers into purchases the only person that looses is the customer. Two wrongs do not make a right.
