1. Colour. Red is more vibrant, powerful and exciting than green. Ever heard the phrase 'green-blooded man'? I think not, and for good reason ;)

2. Ruby. Ruby could take on Dawn, Timbury Entonin Mudgett and Nalu with one hand down her skin tight RED pants...:shocked:

3. The GF4 MX. Millions of people around the world have suffered at the hands of this achingly slow and wildly misleadingly named piece of grahics hardware. We shall not forgot this :|


I hope you've all seen the error of your ways (even you Rollo), all responses are to be laid out in a similar fashion to my post, and refreshingly 'spirited' and enthusiastic discourse is encouraged :D

That's it?

1.)Red? My MSI 6600GT is Red

2.)Ruby looks like a hooker. You would need shots before you touch her.

3.)MX was a good seller for NV so that's actually a negative for ATI

1. Company Name. ATI is fewer letters to type, and much easier to spell.

2. CEO Name. Dave Orton not only rhymes with a name with a popular donut franchise, it's also a lot easier to pronounce.

3. Brand Name. GeForce?! Is it "Gee-Force", "G-E-Force", "Geh-Force"...? Radeon. Simple. "Ray-Dee-On".

:p

Editted to correct CEO name! :p

1) The Incredible Hulk, last time I checked he was green.

2) Ruby should lay off the steroids.

3) The pre X1xxx Crossfire Cards. Needless resolution limitation and excessive cost.



Matrox however are teh sh1t. Notice how they never get slagged off like nVidia or ATI.

For a moment there I thought you were gonna bring up that Far Cry jaggy shadows issue... ;)

Btw we need more graphic boobage evidence before comparing Ruby with her (virtual) competition... ;)

Ray-dee-on or rad-ee-on? Hmm...

One reason Nvidia "pwns" ATI for me- Digital Vibrance.

Color doesn't matter. Ruby? Who cares? The GF4 MX was a budget card and ATI's had their fair share of bad cards as well..

That has been fixed in the x1xxx series.
