[W1zzard]

no the OP does not seem to work at ATI at least his IP says he's working at a bank in Toronto.

Sorry guys I didn't mean to cause any trouble, I was just talking.

I apolize if in any way I have offended someone, but I tought we live in a free world and that I was free of expressing my opinion.

yup calling out honest reviews as fake is surely not going to offend anyone

? que. Where do I hide that fact? he calls out the review, but fails to do some proper research on the subject. THe fact is that under XP the X2 vs GTX280 plays out different compared to X2 vs GTX280 under Vista.

yes because if you don't have a high post count, your opinion doesn't count, we all know that, right?

I have not questioned anything but the obvious. Custom title, SEVERELY low per day post count, and an apparent defensive arrogant attitude.
So are you a professional smart ass or just having a bad, BAD day?

yes we live in a free world. this forum is not the free world however, it is a dictatorship.
just like in real life you are free to express your opinion here but do not make false accusations without having any proof.

in the real world nvidia's lawyers will send you a letter requesting that you retract your statement because of unproven facts and will seek reimbursement for potential loss of reputation for only $xx,xxx+

jmke runs madshrimps, he's a good guy. his post count here is as low as mine on his (and most other) forums because siteops usually dont have the time to do much else than babysitting their site

Understand now.

Believe me, I would not discredit someones input to a discussion because of a low post count, never even meant imply that.

ROFL , what does my IP say ? ( have to know that, so interesting )

thanks Wizzard; I don't see where I offended, but OP is not alone is asking the question why the different reviews offer such different outcomes; the test setup is crucial to answer this question;

in case of Crysis testing there are large differences because of OS, AA levels, Quality Settings, timedemo vs fraps vs gpu-flyover, system ram, 32 bit vs 64bit. Crysis gets a boost from more memory (7~8% 2gb>4gb) while high under Vista >> High XP;

Also CF scaling is not always the same under all circumstances, if you compare GTX numbers alone between reviews they are more in line (except crysis again OS/driver) , X2 is more different. I'm doing some more digging with testing X2 under XP vs Vista and AA scaling; Other sites have already done some tests on the subject, but none really in-depth; digging through the 40+ reviews posted I focused on performance of Crysis, AA, OS used.

http://www.madshrimps.be/vbulletin/f22/crysis-aa-performance-ati-hd4870x2-vs-nvidia-gtx-280-a-56778/

Understand now.

like OP, no intention to offend; but OP calling out my review fake/manipulated why I have no stocks bought from either firm; and have to send back the tested products, there are no favors here at all. blame it on Vista vs XP, timedemo vs FRAPS and last but not least... those reviews using Catalyst 8.7 vs Catalyst 8.8 beta; as the 8.8 beta bumped Crysis performance too.

I might have used the wrong terminology but I am only looking at what other sites are publishing.

Too bad we can't get sued from AMD & NV in here, we'd all be facing some heat. I love the real world.
