Never said that it isn't as important of a feature. I said that a future proof peice of hardware is not future proof.

very much the same reason why people switch from single core CPU to dual core CPU.
You just agreed with me. People switch (are begining to switch) from single core CPU's to dual core CPU's. How does that show that things are future proof? If something was future proof, you wouldn't need to switch anything. Eventually the dual core CPU's will be getting switched out for quad core, etc. Nothing is "future proof" about it, just keeping up with the times.
In addition to that, HDCP support. ( which I'm not sure if your little brain know what that is).
My little brain? Let's not forget when you accused me of "hurting" you and calling you a shill back in the AEG witch hunt time period where Rollo was banned, a time when I wasn't even a member here.

"Most" Nvidia owners seem to have a 7900GT that is volted up to a 7900GTX or beyond, or two 7900GT's or a 7900GTX/SLI....basically, most Nvidia owners already have a 7900 series that about a month ago was doing all of their gaming "just fine" Why would anyone want to go from having a great overclocking card, to a limited single slot SLI?
use of "most people" = generalization = trolling.
Okay, so this previeous comment
HQ AF isn't as important as HDR+AA
and
the same reason why people switch from single core CPU to dual core CPU
are not overgeneralizations? I doubt everyone is switching to dual core. Like I said, to you maybe HQ AF isn't as important as HDR + AA, but when I say "most people" I'm way over the edge? If you want to get technical, I added an adjective to people, describing it more and making it less vague than your "people" comment.
use of "people"=generalization=trolling!!!
It's funny, you skim over the fact that two 7900's barely lose to a 7950GX2 (in fact the margin of loss is probably due to the normal 5% error gap that is associated with Anandtech's benchmarks) yet you get very tight about someone saying "most"??????
7950gx2 is faster than 7900gt sli. get your fact straight.
please read up on 7950gx2 before you comment on it.. you are making obsolutely no sense.
I need to read up on it? Look here:
http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2769&p=1
The 7900GX2 barely beats it, and they were testing stock 7900GT's. I was saying that for those who have voltmodded or overclocked their 7900GT's are already getting better performance than the stock ones that Anandtech compared it to and would quickly close the negligible 3-5 fps gap. And they could do it by spending half of the amount.
wtf! you came in here posting crap and calling me out? if you prefer HDR+AA over HDCP compliance than go ahead, its your opinion.
Once again you can't read. Where did I ever say that HDR + AA is more important than HDCP? You said I overgeneraized, yet you claimed that HQ AF isn't as important as HDR + AA? Maybe not to you? I personally never run a game without at least HQ AF. Once again, not saying that HDCP is worse than all of those, just saying that you overgenearlized too.
READ THE REVIEWS!! almost all reviews are saying its a good bang for the buck because its faster than 7900GT SLI while costing the same.
Yes, it is faster, but by how much? In FEAR at 16x12 it got 3 frames more. At 2048x1536 it got 5 frames more....are you telling me you can tell the difference between 3-5 frames? Not to mention they were using stock 7900GT's. If someone who has an overclocked one wants to get another one for $300 or less, they could do so, overclock it, and close that 3-5 frame gap easily for half the price.
7950 doesn't need another cooling solution because it runs cooler than 1900xtx, quieter, and consume less power.
You really can't read. I wasn't even comparing its cooling capabilities and power draws to ANY ATI card. In fact, I was comparing
just the cooling standpoints to another Nvidia card. I said, "some people could go from having such fun overclocking a 7900, to being stuck with the cooling limitations of this card." Meaning two overclocked 7900GT's could perform better than the 7950GX2 stock. So if you have a 7950GX2 and want to get more performance out of it, you would not be able to overclock much since no aftermarket cooling solution is available right now for it. You would be pretty much stuck at the stock frequencies give or take 20-30 mhz or so.
obviously your brain capacity don't allow you to fully understand the use/importance of HDCP.
My brain capacity knows how to read, which is more than what I can say for you. Again, when did I say anything about HDCP? Besides, the monitor has to be HDCP compliant too. For those who have the 2005fpw's and what not it doesn't make a difference. Only those with HDCP monitors can benefit from this. It will be nice on the monitors that support it, and I might actually like to watch movies on my monitor then, but the fact that you think it is better than HQ AF/HDR + AA is only your opinion as well and overgeneralized.
Josh, you are just embarrassing yourself here, commenting on a product you have no idea about, then troll and calling names.
Really?
you look childish and stupid.
( which I'm not sure if your little brain know what that is).
use of "most people" = generalization = trolling.
Right, and you're doing what? How was I trolling? And the only name I called was dramaqueen, a name that fits you since you thought I was someone who called you a shill back in the AEG witch hunt thread, a thread that occured before I was even here. You were acting like a "dramaqueen"
commenting on a product you have no idea about, then troll and calling names.
Seems like you've just summarized yourself.
