This is something that I don't understand. 4870 1gb already competes against the 260, so why would ATi make another card that is just as fast? I'm seeing this 4980 more of a GTX 285 competitor, otherwise it doesn't really fit anywhere.

Because in Wreakage's lala land world, Nvidia is the own0rz

And BTW: the 4870 was also rumored to only compete with the 9800gtx, and we all know how THAT turned out :laugh:

isn't it supposed to be own3rz? ;)

Quotations or quote tools aren't used to paraphrase.

Paraphrasing is done with your words alone.

You quoted the article, leaving out parts of the quote without designating their extractions with "..." marks.

In summary, you misquoted. It wasn't a paraphrase.

Well I majored in computer programming in college not English. But, I merely went by this definition.

The forum software does not support Paraphrase tags. Either way I fixed it already.

Thanks for letting us know about the GTX 275 though. :thumbsup:

Agendas, anger management, and literary skills aside this is nothing but good news.
I agree.

That is so true.

I guess that both companies are trying to avoid the release of a major performance next generation card, in these times, when people are shorter in their pockets and probably the sales will not be so extraordinary. So they take the fight in another place, where there are still more money to be made.

wrong. this has always been the plan. ask amd if it's a good idea to try a die shrink AND a new arch at the same time...

If anything, the GTX 260 Reloaded was faster than the 4870 1GB overall in our test suite.

Nice of you to leave out that the card utilized was overclocked by 13% compared to normal GTX 260-216s......

Not to mention your altering of the quote which is just ridiculous.

From the same review:

"In terms of image quality, overall features, performance, and even price, the Radeon HD 4870 1GB and the GeForce GTX 260 "Reloaded" are practically interchangeable."

Honestly what you are doing now is just pure trolling, and trolling far worse than anything Rollo ever did.

You don't necessarily want to show your cards too early. That applies to poker cards as well as graphics cards.

Absolutely. Even if you hate one "team" or the other, be thankful that they're around for the competition.

Perhaps that makes a 448-bit 240sp-gpu more likely?

I already know some of the details, but I'm not telling. ;) See, that's what happens when NVIDIA tells their partners even under NDA. Someone spills the beans. If there is product X released on date Y, does it matter if the details were announced/leaked a month before or a year before? You still can't buy product X until date Y.

Altering quotes, comparing factory overclocked Nvidia cards to stock AMD cards but ofcourse failing to mention that. Why do you push Nvidia so hard that you can't accept the fact that sometimes AMD has a better card at a given price point? I just don't get it... you're losing credibility with each post.

The GTX275 sounds like an intereting card. If I had to guess, I'd bet it's going to be the GPU that is used in the GTX295, but with less heat due to having only the single GPU, I'm sure it'll be clocked higher than the GTX295. I don't really know where this card fits. We'll see how the 4890 does. But I'm sure even if it beats the GTX275 and GTX280, you won't accept that. I just don't get it...

That makes sense for us consumers but wouldn't it be prudent for the partners to know about it well in advance? In the article it says that nV's partners weren't notified until recently which makes it seem it's in reaction.

Do you know WHEN nV talked about it with BFG (I'm sure that bit of info is not under NDA is it)?

If it is indeed a 240SP and 448bit card, probably with stock clocks left unchanged or just a slight bump from the GTX260 (or else it will become dangerously close to the GTX285 at stock) it sure sounds like a hell of a deal. But this all depends on how the HD4890 performs against the GTX285. If the former does indeed perform on par with the latter, nVIDIA would likely to price the GTX275 to combat the HD4870 1GB (while possibly getting rid of the GTX260 c216 variant). I guess its a win win situation for us because these new cards will surely impact on the rest of the performance market by forcing some of the product to lower in price.

The personal attacks need to stop, or this forum will go down hill fast.

If people who appear "pro nV" are attacked this hard, then this will be just another empty amdzone forum.

Pro-nV like pro-ATI is fine but there is also just ridiculously over the top and that ruins the forums.
