And you do nothing but talk, while never contributing any evidence to your claims. You're telling me my estimates are wrong or out to lunch, but never exactly *why*. I call them like I see them. I have no qualms with calling idiots people idiots when they act the part. I usually even give them three tries to stop being idiots before I say anything derogatory
Fair enough. You're an idiot.
Perhaps I didn't make my previous humiliation of you clear enough. Let's recap:

No matter what the methodology of the benches is, or what card they were run against, OC or not, the numbers are what they are. Not impressive.
This quote really speaks for itself.
Although that quote *should* have spoken for itself, you obviously are still at a loss.
The irony is this: You claimed that the DT results still stood as what they were no matter what methodology was used. This is quite obviously untrue. Incorrect methodology will create incorrect benchmarks. It could result in a small change in the numbers, or a very large changes (take, for instance, when DT had to retest the GTS in their first article and ended up doubling its FPS in HL:Ep 1).
You see, I can't just go out and call you an idiot. I need to prove the fact. For example, I can recite the above as proof of your lack of reasoning skills. I can't just go out and say "you're an idiot" without providing any contributing evidence to the fact (like you have just done); that would be stupid.
Here's the beautiful part. You dodge my biting responses not by contributing facts to counter mine, but by focusing on my biting nature. In essence, you argue that my sometimes ad hominem attacks invalidate my carefully reasoned responses. The irony here is that by using this argument you yourself are attacking my position ad hominem, therefore (by your standards, not mine) invalidating your own position!
Ah, the humiliation.
