Heh, were you around when the FX line came out? ATi fanboys sure came out in droves then. I think it's just a matter of whomever is winning at the time likes to rub it in more than those losing like to defend themselves. That and since the high-end title keeps moving back and forth, each time the need for "revenge" over the previous loss gets stronger.
Since last generation was so close to a tie, things have been pretty quiet, skirmish here and there notwithstanding. Now the nVidiots feel they have an advantage, so they're pressing it. fanBOis bide their time for the 32-pipe R520 they hope is forthcoming. It'll be an interesting latter half of the year, I'll give both camps that much! 🙂

Not sure why you say that. NVIIDA has very nice 'middle ground' cards in the 6000 series.
Maybe your definition of 'middle ground' is different than mine tho.

Are you serious ??? Was this post a joke?... what the hell are you talking about ....ATI's middle groud sucks donky balls...
Not a single card out does Nvidia in the middle ground.
Radeon 9600Pro/XT, X600ProXT VS The Geforce 6600 AGP/PCI = Win Nvidia
X300 VS 6200 = Nvidia Nvidia Win in price and speed
9800Pro/XT, X700Pro VS 6600GT = Win Nvidia
Please Tell me how and where ATI's focus more on the middle ground ?
If your talking about the X800 VS the 6800 ok a small win for ATI in speed but more features on Nvidia .... either way these still arnt very middle if you ask me.

Hmm, middle ground eh?
6200 TC, 6200, 6600, 6600GT, 6800nu. Looks like plenty of middle ground to me.
If your referring to the 6 day old release of the 7800GTX, sheesh, give them time to get the rest of the cards to market. I'm sure the 7200's, 7600's and vanilla 7800's will follow shortly. This is not all opinion.

x800xl! ALL THE WAY, TO THE TOP< NVIDIA CANT TOUCH THIS!!
lol, i like ATI more than nvidia but this is all from past card performance but since its release of the 7800gtx, im really liking the directions Nvidia is going.
I have high hopes for ATI though, so im going to wait until they release a new card and i can see their performance before i make my conclusion.
I do have to hand it to Nvidia with the timing of their new gen. card. ATI is really getting bashed because of this, but o well that makes things better for the consumer (ATI dropping prices to combat until its new line 🙂

What about all the ATI guys posting about how it's a good thing that ATI is delaying R520 because it will help the availability when it is finally launched? Talk about finding the silver lining. Either way, the card isn't out.
Don't get me wrong, this thread is ridiculous and it points out the obvious (for the moment), but I wouldn't go so far as to say that any one fanboy is better or worse than the other.

Some of you guys must have strong shins to support all of the bandwaggon hopping you guys do (original poster: I'm talking to you). One day you'll wake up and realize that competition is a good thing and is what keeps companies in check; the fewer companies in the market, the higher the prices.
Even now there's essentially tacit collusion between Nvidia and ATI - do you think that we'd be paying $500 per video card if another company came along and offered the same thing for $350? R&D is expensive, no doubt, but it doesn't account for the massive jump in video card costs entirely - a lot of that is profit.
^ That seems highly doubtful given that R520 is set to launch in the fall.

You could at least mention the X800XL, which is a pretty nice card for $300.
This whole mindset of "Nvidiots" and "ATI fans" is what makes it so annoying to visit these message boards. Why are we even talking about this?

You will find that there is a fine line between annoying and entertaining. This applies in these forums. There is nothing anyone can do about fanboyism nor is willing to try short of complaining about it. Just roll with it man, because if you don't, it just hurts more when you get hit.

I won't say I disagree with you on that, but they exist... My only point was that someone was saying that one group was more zealous than the other, which is false IMO.
On the otherhand... if ATI were to paper launch now, we would all know how the card stacks up against the 7800GTX, so we could make an informed purchase. This way, ATI benefits from the FUD surrounding the idea that R520 is going to stomp the 7800GTX, whether it's true or not. Personally, I wouldn't see anything wrong with ATI giving pre-release R520's to review sites, letting them give us benchamrks, but being up front about when they will be available. I think it is the deception that goes along with a paper launch that irritates people. If they were to do this, at least you'd know if it was worth it or not to wait for R520. Obvioulsy, this is not what ATI wants.
