The best part was how PureVideo was broken in the 6800 Ultra, nVidia's top-end G60 card :laugh:. I think it works in my 6800GT, I don't remember, but it's not like I'm paying $30 for it.

Hmm I don't mind this, maybe I'll get something out of it . I'll call it the EAF or Early Adopter's Fee.

All nv40 had broken pure video functionality. i.e 6800ultra, 6800GT, 6800nu and other NV40 based cards.

AGP, all were partial support besides the 6600(GT).
PCIE, 6800Ultra/GT were partial support, most others were full PV.

Cookie one of the main complaints of the guy leading this lawsuit is that when they brought up issues with the drivers on the nVidia user forums they were deleted and banned.

My feeling on this lawsuit is nVidia screwed up but is it lawsuit worthy probably not.

You want to know why anyone who said anything bad about Nvidia was banned and the threads deleted? Because it turns out one of the "Moderators" is none other than Rollo, the uber-Nv fanatic. Only he goes by the name "Brian_S" over there. Isn't that a laugh? The guy who was banned from four different website forums is now one of the people in charge of the Nvidia forums.

He used to have a sticky in the Forceware Drivers forum stating that anyone who posted negative things about Nvidia would have their thread deleted and could have their account banned. :disgust:

This is actually all true.

Make it be known- I prefer Nvidia for both their leading hardware and their superior driver support.

But I am not a mook for any company, nor am I blind to any corporation.

Word on the street is that Rollo is afraid to come back here. Hes a mod at the official NV forums, as well as Geforce3d.net.
Shocking, considering how much damage hes done to the real NV fans.

When I say real, I mean- unpaid.

As far as this thread, this lawsuit is a joke. Its fun for the AMD crew to get their jollies off. But its not only needless, but a suit that is a waste of time.
If someone here (besides AMD themselves) is paying legal counsel to look into this class action suit..
as a friend let me tell you.. stop it now.. you're wasting your money.

The conversation I'm sure is entertaining for the AMD crowd though.
I own a 8800GTX, those vague statements by Nvidia have not only been through the legal more times than days you've been alive.. but the 8800 works fine.
1. Vista is new. 2. The card works. 3. Quit being a dumbass or sell your card (if half of you even own a G80).

They let someone with that background moderate their forums? Tell me you're joking.

Afraid? I don't know, never met the guy, but if you were a moderator on 2 different forums (one of them being the company you recieve video cards from) what reason would there be to come back?

As far as this lawsuit, how many times have we heard of company "x" getting sued and never heard the resolve? My guess this will just be added to that list.

From what I've heard, hes afraid he'll continually get banned, and he cant handle the fanatics that dominate this board. Maybe its not fear, but its certainly cowardice.

From what I hear he's given up on AT due to the lean towards the red side that he sees here. He's still a nice guy to talk to though.

From what I hear, he was banned twice! Honestly DeathReborn, the only reason he sees a lean towards the red side is because he's so far out on the extreme green end of the scale that even Nvidia enthusiasts call him "fanboy".

I know he's banned & I also know that he's greener than Al Gore but he's not gonna be making any new accounts here in the future. Perhaps it's time for people to get over it & move onto present trolls instead of living in the past.

Red lean?

*Looks at 8800GTX*
*hugs it*

What red lean? You couldnt get me to use an ATI card. ATI cards might be an "ok" budget selection, but they are garbage right now IMO.
8800GTS is the lowest I'd go for, around $360AR?
