    Ashes of the Singularity User Benchmarks Thread

    I can see your point that malicious developers can purposely hinder a vendor. But if you are implying this is the case in AoS, or if you are suggesting nVidia's hardware capability is not the problem with DX12, or if you are saying allowing low-level access to GPU is somehow bad, then you would...

    Should AT include OC'd Cards in Reviews?

    In the end, what AT did is out there for people to see, a benchmark of a newly launch product filled with competitor's OC products? yeah right, thats gotta help users and AT's credibility. Defends all you want, there are lines you can't cross. You guys standing in the NV camp and find various...

    Should AT include OC'd Cards in Reviews?

    read above post by Attic, these things confuses people and misleads them. How many launch reviews did you see that add OC cards into the mix? factory OC or not? how about almost never? Because they knows general population aren't as smart as some people would like them to be, and information...

    Should AT include OC'd Cards in Reviews?

    yeah, and then they get blamed for being stupid. reference card benchmarking is a tradition for good reasons. Defending indefensible is just wrong. Nobody is against doing round up of available options in the market, OC or not, but everything has its rightful place, and this is definitely...

    Should AT include OC'd Cards in Reviews?

    right, successfully hit at the issue of price/performance, with ZERO statement of how much 460 FWT actually costs. Successful alright. lol

    I doubt AT, NV, AMD doesn't know there are these people, and alot. That makes the actions even more suspicious. There are enough review website to go around, Its disappointing one or two being irresponsible, if AT wants to be remembered that way, then it will be.

    Should AT include OC'd Cards in Reviews?

    Whats the point of benchmarking new product then? there are numerous OC cards out there on newegg, what kind of review would they do then? if AT wants to "review all available cards", good for them. There are proper place for everything.

    Should AT include OC'd Cards in Reviews?

    fact is NV "insisted" to reviewers to use non-reference card, and only AT and LR did it. if thats not bowing to the pressure, I dont know what it is. Its more about AT allow itself to carry out NV's desire at the expense of buyers. on top of that, not even mention the correct price for the OC...

    GTX 460 prices take a nose dive at Newegg

    well, if you already have 460-768, 460-1G would only improve 7%.

    Should AT include OC'd Cards in Reviews?

    I do not believe thats the right course of action. plain and simple. I highly doubt nVidia only put pressure on AT, and yet, AT is the one that bow to it. one line of disclaimer can compensate for tens of bar graphs? Lets get real here. It didn't clearly state the price of 460 FTW even once in...

    Should AT include OC'd Cards in Reviews?

    by clearly, you mean in the last page, among all the words, mentions once there is a $30 premium? didn't even bother to say its $230? Since they immediately followed up by saying 460 1G can be get for $180, its effectively misleading users to think the OC card is only $210 (this is getting into...

    GTX 460 prices take a nose dive at Newegg

    huh, I have been to microcenter a lot and built 2 computers from there. I didn't see $160 460 1G? or maybe its just Dallas store? anyway, there will be taxes. newegg is still better. :)

    Should AT include OC'd Cards in Reviews?

    being 2nd worst means little, take a look at Toms, Hardocp, techpowerup, guru3d, even kitguru. Who did this? if AT has a stand, then stand firm, retreating like that when NV "insisted", what does AT expect to hear from fair-minded people?

    Should AT include OC'd Cards in Reviews?

    I stated clearly, it has been a tradition in most sites, that they do a bench for general reference card, and then they bench specialized cards. There are places to compare OC cards, and I know that place is not review article of a new launch of a reference card. General users are easily...
