Makes these forums look like an nv fan site. If as suggested is true that major fps will be lost to fix this issue, consumers should be aware. At least it doesn't hurt anyone to explore these issues.

This one:

Which just happens to be the original thread, in which actual discussion was going on, wasn't locked.

So we lock all threads that have the same subject open somewhere in the past? You will be a busy guy, asking the mods for repeated locks.

they should lock every thread where the Op is purposely trying to start a flame war. Then they should ban the OP.

about time the mods stepped up and did something about it, it's absolutely out of control in all forums.

There should be something in the ToS stating "Don't post Nv vs. ati, Intel vs. AMD threads or you will be kicked the f#ck out"

The last thread did not even mention ATI. And just as it got interesting, locked. I for one would have liked to hear more about this supposed 30% performance drop that comes with fixing the issue.

That's because you are one of the posters who enjoy throwing gas on the fire. Posting here as if you are being denied access to life threatning information only goes to prove what state the Video forum is really in.




1st offense a warning, 2nd offense 24 hour ban, 3rd offense 2 weeks vacation, 4th offense perma ban.

The brand wars should not be fought here, thats what marketing teams are for.

Well in the vid forum, flaming is the norm. So if I will be booted for asking what makes this subject special .......... Guess I will have to find other things to do with my life.

Why would you like to hear more about it Ronnn? You have no 7800GTX, and have said you won't buy one because you are cheap?

What will the knowledge benefit you?

There is no 30% drop. There is a performance hit (noticable) but that is incurred by turning off the AF Optimizations. By doing that the problem still isn't fixed.

As for the thread in reference, there was nothing in there that wasn't covered in the other threads on the same subject.

As for you first comment after my post in the thread, dont look at me. I didn't PM the mods for a lock. They came to that conclusion on there own. I was actually typing a lengthy measured response at the time, clicked reply and boom locked lol. 10 mins of typing *flush*... but its all good :D

I did not intend for it to come across that way. Sorry.

I just wanted to make sure he knew the answers, not the right place to do it though.

In short, they locked those threads because they were either:

A. Causing problems
B. Going to cause problems
C. Have caused problems
D. Because there are already threads with that information
E. Because they can (Mod is God.. remember that and you will never have problems in the forums)
F. None of the above/All of the above

I agree with you kevin, but much of the 'old guard' get giddity giddity giddity in flaming others themselves...they seem to like it that way, as long as you aren't saying they are flaming anyone.

More than likely they were locked because they were duplicate threads. I'm with the mods on this one - the topic is pretty hot to begin with so the last thing we need is the entire forum peppered with multiple instances of it.
