Huh? You mean you guys don't like Nvidia? :shocked:

No! Reason..... they piss me off!!:evil:

they used to irritate me .. remember i am the guy with the AMD X3 graphics powering my own rig .. and it had something to do with me perceiving Nvidia as "arrogant".

However, i get it now. Nvidia is an extended loyal tech 'family' that *believes* in their product and in their company vision like almost none other. From the CEO to the janitor.


it is confidence, not arrogance

I'm not denying that they do have excellent products, but I think they're very arrogant. Sorry apoppin I just can't see your vision.

But I'm considering a GTX 280 or a HD 4870 X2 for my next upgrade. I think my 3870 is just to slow for 1680x1050.

you know, i used to totally agree with you. Before Nvision. And i gave a lot of reasons in my review where my own is similar to theirs.

But i no longer see arrogant. i see extraordinarily competitive with a vision like Intel's. But to have a GPU in *everything*

i am reviewing the GTX280 vs the 4870x2 and also will be exploring Micro stutter ,, this weekend

My 2900xt was too slow for 16x10 when the newer DX10 games like Hg:L came out. The i went to a 8800GTX and ultimately 2900xt crossfire. The 4870 was disappointing over the GTX when i went to 19x12 so i went for X2/x3.

i liked it a lot
:thumbsup:

Nicely done! Looks like you had a blast. More pictures would've been nice though. I'd love to go but I can't really justify a trip out that way unless its Vegas. Nvision 09 in Vegas and I'm there!

It's ironic that you went to NVISION and I went to the AMD Tech Tour. :laugh:

Thanks!

Well then, maybe i will see you at CES in Vegas
- San Jose is only a 7 hour drive for me, so i will visit there next year.

My old Cannon 3.2MP digi-cam died as i was leaving for Nvision so i actually purchased a 7.1 Kodak Easy-share as i passed OM on the way to San Jose. A lot of my stills weren't perfect and i *still* need to transfer video from my DVC - hours if it - and i will also add pics to that article. When i have time - after i finish benching all my new HW - i will upload video of some of the Keynotes and demonstrations at NVISION08 .

ABT is out of beta this weekend and we have a PILE of articles waiting to post as we prep for our Oct 1 "official launch"
- i also asked Nvidia for permission to use some of their photos - so we will see how that goes

Ironic? not for me; i really admire Nvidia and always have; i just never 'got' their "attitude" which i always perceived as arrogant.


i always liked AMD as an *alternative* - when they step up to the plate successfully, they provide an excellent bang for buck. i hope to review BOTH companies products fairly and without bias. One tends to be more fair when you have BOTH products for testing in your PC .. at least that is what i have found over the last over 1-1/2 years when i started buying both AMD and Nvidia Graphics cards, starting with my 2900xt and my 8800GTS-640; and i alternated between my using 8800GTX and 2900xt crossfire.

Now it is between 280 and 4870 .. i am *loving it*
- except for the bills
