DX11 questionnaire from nVidia

Not this crap again:
"Even today our GeForce GTX 285 significantly outperforms the HD 5870 in next gen games like Batman Arkham Asylum with physics. In fact, even our GeForce GTS 250 outperforms it."

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


And this:
"In terms of review units, we have a very limited number of units"

They only have a very limited number of GT300 cards even for review??

EDIT:
Apparently there's a back and forth on twitter between employees of AMD and nVidia:

That is one amazingly stupid nonsense. It's worse then AMD slides.
 
Nvidia's FUD marketing strategy has worked well for them so far, I don't see them changing it anytime soon.
 
With all the BS that came out of nVidia this past couple of weeks I swear this is the last time I'm buying there products.

They are either crazy, desperate, stupid of combination of all.
 
nVidia does make some good cards and I would buy them next time if they provide some good price/performance (whether my aging Maze4 waterblock fits on the card is also a major consideration for me as well and was why the GTX260 was ruled out at the time I bought my 4870).
 
"Our next generation Fermi-based GeForce will support DX11, PhysX and 3D Vision so gamers don't have to compromise. With GeForce, you can have it all."

"We focus on graphics plus cool effects like physics and 3D stereo, whereas AMD just makes incremental changes to their graphics cards."

:laugh:
 
The only line missing is "Nvidia shines and AMD sucks". I wonder how this hasn't been written there.
 
I find it interesting that all of those posts that are supposedly from nV mirror a certain someone who posts here in defense of nV. Seems like someone is relaying company fed propaganda.

Indeed. It does read noticeably similar.

Now that's just hilarious. Let me pick the one game where we turned off special features whenever a 5870 was used and use that as the only benchmark of performance between their cards and mine. Either they think we're all retarded or they have the dumbest PR department in history.

Batman AA the new bench🙂
 
Oh god... I think Ive found Wreckage's true identity... UJESH DESAI!!!

No, seriously, its the exact same kind of FUD, the same kind of lame arguments... Bahaha the batman one is priceless, but I love how he keeps pushing physx and 3d vision and 3d stereo and whatever, only to ignore every feature AMD has
 
Meh. Just typical b.s. marketing speak. I'd be shocked if one of these companies ever gave straight answers in an interview.

We are confident that when the Fermi-based GeForce products ship that we will maintain our performance crown. Even today our GeForce GTX 285 significantly outperforms the HD 5870 in next gen games like Batman Arkham Asylum with physics. In fact, even our GeForce GTS 250 outperforms it. That's fundamentally the difference between us and AMD. We focus on graphics plus cool effects like physics and 3D stereo, whereas AMD just makes incremental changes to their graphics cards.

Yea, maybe AMD should have taken a page out of Nvidia's book regarding their 8800 -> 9800 transition. Now that's innovation! :thumbsup: 😀

That's a matter of opinion. Both companies have some unique features, and now with the 58x0 cards AMD added even more to their list. It just depends on what a potential customer finds to be more appealing, AMD's feature set or Nvidia's.

There was a DX11 game available from launch of the 5870. (Battleforge)

A poll on this forum proved that people care about Eyefinity much much more than they care about 3D Vision. It wasn't even close. Another poll showed that people also care about DX11 more than PhysX. What features does Nvidia have that ATI doesn't have that people actually want? When it comes to features that both companies have, ATI does it just as good or better(and never worse) with less money out of the consumer's pocket.

It's pretty safe to say ATI has Nvidia beat in features, price, performance, business practices, etc...
 
dguy6789 I think if more people could have a hands on experience with 3D Vision in an actual game they might think otherwise. I like both technologies, but having had hand on experience with it and actually talking to an nvidia developer on it, I actually WANT it. It's pretty fricking sweet. Just don't want to pay like 300 for a 22" and another 200-300 for the glasses from nvidia. If I could find the extra cash right now I totally would though.
 
I'd definitely like to see what 3D Vision has to offer. Unfortunately it's one of those technologies that you have to try it before you can decide (whereas with Eyefinity you already know what you're getting and it's easy to see it just by looking at a video of it, unlike 3D Vision) and there are no demos of it where i live.
 
It's an interesting concept undoubtedly, but it still is in a pretty early state at the moment. I think only two monitors support it at all right now. They aren't even very good monitors for their price; at the price they sell at, you can get way better monitors. Besides that, having to wear those glasses is really annoying for people that already wear glasses. People who don't wear glasses at all will probably find having to suddenly wear them be very annoying.

Every review I've read of 3D Vision has stated that game support for it is shoddy at best. Very few games work with it perfectly, tons of games exhibit all kinds of visual glitches and the like.
 
Wow, just wow...

I've only owned nVidia card for the last 10 years or so. Moved to the 5850. Until crap like this changes, I'll stay with ATI.

If they start this crap, then I hope another option is available.
