I sometimes question the message and at times the messenger.
I have reviewed a number of chips but find your bias fairly
obvious in your recent review. I have to draw a conclusion that you
must have a monetary stake in Nvidia? Conflicts of interest
are forbidden in traditional journalism print as a matter of
owner policy. What is the policy at Anandtech?
I admit that Radeon video cards have
their blemishes but so do the MX based Nvidia cards and on the
whole I would still pick the Radeon. I based this on information
gathered from over 20 other reviews and your very
own Video Forum.
For a budget review, it seems very odd to focussing on T&L
which is starting to be used today and Win2K
(which is really meant to be
a business operating system).
I much rather play a DVD disk today rather than wait
for the next T&L game, which you do not mention at all.
The only T&L benchmark at the moment is 3DMark2000. This benchmark and it is definitely
written in co-operation with Intel and Nvidia.
What is more important is the
2D quality which you were aware of a year ago in you
November 1999 Budget Video Review. The GeForce series coming out a year later all have much worse video quality than the TNT2 chips. I find it peculiar that all of
reviews at Anandtech have made no comment on this in any GeForce
reviews and yet emphasized it over a year ago. In your
own forum pages, many users have
switched from either Geforce chips
to Radeon with better image quality in terms of both 3D and 2D sharpness. I still found the review at Sharky's on
Budget Video Cards. The fact that your reviews comes later
and discounts performance gains on popular games such as Unreal Tournament only enhances your rationalization of the MX product.
The validity of Mike Witheiler's future reviews will be questioned
or have very little weight attached to them. At least by me.
