BTW- I guess why I persist in posting in this thread could be stated:
1. This thread originated with a flame to me in the topic, continued with other flames directed at me. I suppose I could just watch people slander me, but sometimes I'd rather return the favor.
2. This thread and the other contained flames directed at Anand/AT, which I have a lot of respect for. This is by far my favorite place on the web.
3. For the same reason I defended the 5800U, the nV35 DX9, GF1/2 OG FSAA, and for that matter the MAXX, Rage Fury, and V5.
Every issue has two sides, and I personally think people are overreacting on this issue.

You don't get to decide that, cry-baby.

Wouldn't that be flaming. The ONE thing you are on everyones backs about. Where in the hell did you pull cry-baby out of "Well maybe this isn't the place to do that genius :shocked:" !?!?

Also *gasp* this is off topic :shocked: .... If you look at the last like 100 posts is there any good solid information in there? :roll: Nah doesn't look like it to me.

Why dont you stop policing around this thread, and put your money where your mouth is. You are telling everyone to stop flaming and crap yet you do the EXACT thing. If you want to find out so much why dont you make a FAQ and contribute to this forum unlike what you have been doing.

Edit: I completely agree with your post 100% Rollo.

You really ARE a flawed personality, aren't you? It's OK that you call me "genious" in a sarcastic way, but if I DARE retaliate I'm f-f-f-flaming! Yeah you're a cry-baby for sure, and you need a warm bottle jabbed in your kisser. :laugh:

Every issue has two sides, and I personally think people are overreacting on this issue.

1) BS!!! Even before the start of this thread you started the barbecue in the first one....You need no excuse why you have acted the way you have...It is obvious!!!

2) BS!!! You respect this place??? Huh!! You make a mockery of it and its rules...You are a self-appointed mod and a bully that has hijacked a thread...You dont like the topic, stay out!!! You have nothing to contribute besides ridicule, mocking, and general attacks against anyone whom feels the topic is worthy, stay out!!!

3) I have no comment. Couldn't see that past your total bibble babble in this thread


If there is actually any mods in this forum who read the threads I can't for the life of me see why you are not on a vacation.....

Rollo I totally view you as a joke. I hope ppl who visited here dont think you are the norm for this forum....I couldn't see why they would ever want to join here or come back....I am embarrased as a member for the likes of you....

LOL- and yet there are people in this thread who seem to agree with me, a couple even proclaim themselves "fans".

Go figure. I post in a public forum and some people like what I have to say, some don't. Who'd have thought it?

Grow up Duvie.

Im not whining about it. Im just saying that you are so quick to jump on everyone for flaming yet you flame the moment i, or someone opposed to your way of thinking says something (Which you just did again :) )

I disagree with some of his opinions/choices, but I realize Duvie started this thread with the best intentions, however it is getting worse by the post.

Again where is the last post containing any useful imagination.

It's not my threads the mods are locking one after another, seems to me you're the one apparently "breaking the rules"?

Hmmm you "can care less about me" ?

Is that why you specifically directed the topic of this thread as an attack at me? You don't see me posting "Duvie stay out" threads full of emotional rants about you?

Apparently one of us is thinking about the other, and it's not me.

I didn't say nVs behavior was above reproach, I said it's another unfortunate example of revision 1 technology working 99%, and that there's not much else to say on the subject since nVidia themselves have stated what works and what doesn't on each chipset.

I can understand you being disappointed those features didn't come out as anticipated, just don't see the point of this thread when there's nothing new to post about AFAIK. If you want to complain, Creig and Duvie can't help you?

As far as my 6800NU goes, it's giving my son good service. I sold my 6800GT when I purchased my X800 XT PE, which will likely reside in my box till I get SLI or a next gen card. It's a very nice gaming card, plays HL2 very well, and I'd already finished with Doom3.

Come on, Rollo. We're both more sophisticated than that. You don't have to SAY that NV is a God among companies. The fact that you've spent so much time bitterly attacking those who are angry about this issue speaks volumes. As people like Duvie have stated, ad nausem, that whether there is anymore to say is a matter best left to the individual, not an elite few. As long as the mods don't close this thread it's simply bad taste that compels people like you to try and FORCE it closed by insulting its participants.

While NV is free to say what they want, obviously, their behavior in this has been revolting. If the NV40 was less than optimal they DID have the option of not fielding it until it was optimal. They didn't have to LIE about a pending fix. They could have simply come clean, and offered some sort of restitution. And no, I don't mean a new card. A coupon for some token amount would have shut me up and gave me the sort of good feeling that would have allowed me to consider another purchase of their products in the future. Lots of people don't get over things like this as easily as you seem to, Rollo. Respect us enough to accept that out anger is okay, and moreover, doesn't affect you in any tangible way. And please, don't insult my intelligence by pretending that you don't comprehend the force of numbers. Ther may yet be a suitable solution to this.

It please me that you're enjoying the power-factor of your PE, BTW. I'm very happy with my watered GT as well, and I'm working my way through D3 for the third time, slick as snot. Also, it's good to enjoy an exchange with you sans the usual insults. :thumbsup:

Let's sum up what I know about you so far: You're a cry-baby, you have major personality issues and now you add a tenuous grasp of reality to the list. You are indeed whining; you've done so in this thread, and attempted to export it to FORUM ISSUES, using hyperbole and falsehoods. AGAIN, if you can't stand being flamed, DON'T start flaming. Your "genius" comment was unnecessary and inflammatory.

If you really feel that way, DON'T CLICK ON IT. Why can't you understand this simple exercise in self-censorship?

Again, what's useful and what isn't is not your call to make.

I'd say the same if ATI had promised these features on the R420s and this was the result. Actually, I think ATI did promise some of these features on the R420 and then remove them from the drivers. I haven't seen any outcry about that?

While I respect your right to be upset about this, I don't think issues like this are uncommon on rev 1 hardware or that it will do you any good to post about it here. I doubt BFG customer service reads AT video? I don't think you have the force of numbers, because the vast majority of users don't care about the issue. As far as nVidia goes, my guess is they thought the driver team could get it to work on 100% of the features to some extent, made a decision to beat their competitor to market, and found out some of the functionality would never work. You could be right as well, I doubt we'll ever know. I don't think companies get to the point nVidia has by intentionally defrauding their client's though, would make for bad repeat business.


It please me that you're enjoying the power-factor of your PE, BTW. I'm very happy with my watered GT as well, and I'm working my way through D3 for the third time, slick as snot. Also, it's good to enjoy an exchange with you sans the usual insults. :thumbsup:

It would be hard not to enjoy the XT PE, it's as good of a card as you can get now. I've always given the slight edge to 6800U for feature set, but I still say it's hard to go wrong with either card. (unless you're using Linux, of course) Agreed, I would prefer to discuss than flame.


I'd also rather play D3 than any game from last year!

Why not? This is a video card issue and this is the video forum. Seems like a perfect fit.

pwnage.

#2 is true for me too.. if you guys dont like Anands Purevideo article, and continue to flame this site for it, get the hell out of here.

This is the best computer site on the web. Period.

I'm right there with you. It seems that the lame FORUM ISSUES thread just caused another "elite" poster to drop by to act silly.

I'm guessing page 10 maybe? That's where this thread will be locked as well. Then someone will start part III. Either Duvie or HardWarrior. Duvie because he really want's the issue talked about, and Hardwarrior because Anand had the AUDACITY (LOL) to lock it and post the third for spite. This is of course if his Dungeon's and Dragon's 20 sided die tells him to and right after he watches Knights of the Dinner Table video's for the millionth time. Meanwhile, he looks down the slant of his nose at others "flawed" personalities feeling all kinds of superior to them because his psyche couldn't handle any other explaination.

HW or Duvie. You would do better with a FAQ in here and try to get that stickied.

HW: If this post seems a little harsh, don't get offended. It's the way I see you in here and how you "browbeat" (or try to) fellow members. So, get off your righteous soapbox. Many, many solutions have been provided in here to resolve this issue but non are acceptable to you and others telling the rest of us that you really do not want this resolved. Duvie does, you don't. Your here for the arguments and the arguments alone. As your reading this, your frantically thinking of comebacks to every sentence. This is a very easy thing to do and not impressive in the least. Anyone can pick apart another post.

Question: Have any of you visited other sites to see if this subject is discussed in a better light? I haven't.
Because all the answers are in this thread. I doubt you'll find better solutions anywhere else.

Good Luck? In whatever it is your doing.
