[Praxis1452]

You can't fight everyone.

But way to go hans =). idk how to do that thumbs up emoticon but I would. If nvidia keeps this up I won't buy from them either.

sorry -off topic-

Is it that much of a problem for you that in MY signature (aka my property) I have links to hot deals on ATI graphics cards?

You go friend. The industry would be a heck of alot better off if more people would do like you are doing and put their money where their mouth is. I wish I would do the same, its just a hard stance to stand by with so many huge companies controlling so much (If we all did what was right would boycott M$, Sony, Intel, and so many more, but its hard to do whats right with the way the industry is at the moment, but two thumbs up for trying friend )

how would the industry be better?

hey if being unethical = becoming top of the pile....i dont think there are many company bosses that would turn it down, just for the sake of doing the right thing.

i know if i was a boss, and given a chance to make my company big and earn millions, even though it means being unethical in the way i operate my company.....id take it.

i think all the massively rich companies out there are rich because theyve taken every oppertunity, ethical or not, to make £££.

Well then I guess if you are using Windows, you must get rid of that, too. Along with nVIdia, Microsoft is also a client of AEG. But the list doesn't stop there. If you are using MSN, throw that out, and no more watching the WB network. Further, you should also speak out again Gamespot, as they are a client of AEG, as well. Oh, and make you no longer play any games by Atari, 2K Games, or Stardock, as these are all clients of AEG. You can view their entire client list here: http://aeginfo.com/clients.shtml



This whole AEG / nVidia conspiracy is frivoulous. Give me a break. The only people who keep bringing it up are dire ATI fanboys/trolls who feel a need to bash nVidia, and try to throw a bunch of FUD out and hope nobody catches them at it. Well, if they are going to gripe about nVidia being a client to an online promotional agency (which I fail to see how that's so wrong anyways), then atleast give *all* the facts.

Or better yet, give it a rest. Meh...

I think using FUD in the case of nVidia/AEG is wrong. After all, it's truth. However, I do agree that it's done and over with. It should still be noted in case of future viral marketing attempts regardless of company but that's about it.

As far as big business goes. Nothing is black and white. It's all shades of grey. There are no clean companies out there. It's business.

 

[santz]

f##K that, i cannot believe nvidia did that. i do understand Nvidia's nead to do what it did, but do not agree with its threatning approach.

companies like ati and nvidia are very much dependent on PR and what users think about them companies in general

this is not only a ver stupid PR move by nvidia it also generates loads of bad publicity for nvidia. I will stick with ATI from now..

BAd job nvidia.........!

 

[thilanliyan]

To think they did it to a mostly pro-NVidia site, against a chipset from a company that THEY bought...well...those lawyers have to earn money somehow I guess.

 

[openwheelformula1]

lmao, throws away the Nvidia but keeps the Intel because of a PR stunt fiasco. Go drive your Toyota/GM/Ford off the cliff. Trash your Sony Electronics, and burn your American flags then. I wouldn't do any of it because my emotions are not fragile like a little girl.

LMAO, whats with you guys and ATI products in your sig? Talk about fanbois.

I dont have ATI products in my sig. I have Hot deals there. It just so happens ATI is the land of hot deals right now.

Second place cards. Not so hot deals. Unless you mean because the cards run so hot.

BTW the GTO says $218AR not $198

Are you like a Joker-wanna-be?

I'll have to update my sig. And yes, those are hot deals. Name a nVidia product for $178 that equals the X1800GTO? For $420 that equals the X1900XT? Of course, you can't, because they dont exist.

And no, I'm not a "Joker-wanna-be".

Unfortunately I'm not getting paid for my services, though someday, hopefully, ATI will start one of those marketing programs of their own and they'll let me in, though that's one in a million.

Haha let the nv fanbois burn dude. We'll keep the hot deals in our sig, it beats listing your pc specs that nobody really gives a ****** about. I'm sure Wreckage will follow suite sooner or later and start listing nV prices in his sig.

Indeed. I find it hypocritical that while many criticize us for liking ATI, half of the people arguing with us are fanboys of nVidia.

Second rate cards? ATI is the performance leader at the moment...and except for the X800 vs 7800 battle due to ATI being late with the X1800's ATI has been competitive, losing slightly or slightly above nVidia. I'd hardly call them a second rate company. Not as popular maybe but definitely not second rate. Most of the web sites who rated the X1900 as better than the 7900GTX as well. Or are all those web sites suddenly ATI fanboy sites?

BTW, I'd rather be a Joker-wanna-be. 5150Joker goes overboard at times with his criticism and arguments but at least he tries to back up what he says with truth or the best info available. Unlike some who are labelling him a fanboy but are self admitted trolls.

You can't fight the world. But he's trying. More than you and most other people criticizing him. So little girl take your crap elsewhere.

 

[secretanchitman]

Wish I'd gone for an X1800XT.
