The real issue is that onboard sound cards suck

*Being telling that for 6 years
I haven't used the onboard audio in any rig in years.
Digital audio via HDMI FTW.
so? that is something that should never have happened.

i dont think its kids.....
He was the most verbal invida shill in the forum, though he always swore that he had nothing to do with them. Then it came out that he was part of an "invida focus group". The reality is he was paid to trash ATI and talk up invidia. He was banned, then invidia asked that he be allowed to return, so he was unbaned. At that point, I realized that the forum was monitored and that invida had some influence with how it was run. I've gone elsewhere for hardware advice ever since.
Why? A moderator's job is to govern over their domain in an impartial manner. If the person was already considered capable of this, do you think they're incapable of properly settling situations without bias? Or are you simply passing judgment against someone without any evidence?
When i was a young lad, I bought an Amiga 600 and even installed a build in 2,5inch (I believe it was 60MB) HDD. My brother was of the snes super nintendo camp. I liked the super nintendo as it was a great game machine. But i was just happy with my Amiga 600. My brother however was constantly arguing about how superior the snes was over the A600. Very annoying. Even today in his eyes, linux is superior over windows and always will be... Nvidia is better then ATI/AMD(which i can understand since at the time nvida had better driver support for linux) It makes one very tired. Some people just are like that... :|
We'll we all know Amiga 600 > snes![]()
Rollo was entertaining. Nothing beats news straight from the horse's mouth.
I was reading in the VC&G forum......and its the same exact trolls going on and on in their dick swinging contest, year after fucking year.
Do these people have such great lives that they have to manufacture their issues based off of which video card mommy and daddy bought them? I can't see any other reason why people clamp on AMD and nVidia like it's a damn religion. It's either that, or those people are being paid.
No reasonable person would be arguing about video cards for 6+ years straight.
Although in that case it was more bullshit straight from the bulls rectum.
I don't remember that, I do remember that he used to hint about how awesome the unreleased hardware was and they say that he couldn't give any details. Oh and I remember that time he kept claiming that an Nvidia card that was released with a broken video decoder (or some such) was going to be fixed with a driver update and that we should all buy it with confidence. It never was.I spent a lot of time in the VC&G forum around Rollo's time and if I remember correctly he actually shared some non-public information including pics of unannounced video cards.

lol, you think ati doesn't do it?Originally posted by: akugami
I hate this type of viral marketing. If ATI did this too, I'd hate them for doing it as well.
and apoppin, i don't see anyone excusing it, just accepting it as a fact of life.
Heh- there's even a member here who's on every board on the internet all day long promoting ATI with his name on this forum, plus a few others.

Yeah nVidia must be in major damage control right now over AEG. Good stuff, hopefully these websites keep the pressure on high. Imagine if this was ATi, I can just see all the AEG lackeys crucifying them. I'd say the media and ATi fans have gone easy on nVIdia and their forum troll specialists.Originally posted by: crazydingo
Match that with the statement from AEG on Shacknews. Nicely co-ordinated.Originally posted by: geo1
ChrisRay, who is a familiar name to most graphics community geeks, discusses his involvement in the AEG group: http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=575
Damage control.
LOL
:roll:
Like I said, no one from AEG or nVidia has ever asked me to post anything other than what I think. They've always pointed out that they want to know good, bad, otherwise.

Well, this is why I didn't say anything all along.Originally posted by: linkgoron
Seems as if AEG told some guys to do some DC, and post some "they didn't tell me what to post", "we were onlt beta-testers" posts...
Some of you will believe the worst about this no matter what I say, or anyone else for that matter.
If you want to believe that nVidia is the only company that hands out freebies to enthusiasts in hopes they will post favorable things about their products and/or provide end user feedback, LOL at your naievete'.
I've been a beta tester of other things long before nVidia, and have been given free promotional articles by other firms. <Gasp>

I wonder how many people there are on AMD's or Nvidia's payroll?
I'm betting at least five, and at least one of them is a moderator.
