Its Ati propaganda.


They did this before when Nv came out w/ PS3.0.

Ati's marketing team gets an A for effort.

Ati claims they have superior performance in todays games, and that benchmarks mean nothing.

Yet, as most sites have proven, the 6600 beats it in real world game testing.


In the end they are just trying to misinform the average user/buyer/retailer.

My favorite HERE


When did D3 or FS2004, or even CoD become old?

I play United Offensive hours daily, hell it just came out last week.

At least they are honest, they show the 6800gt beating the X800 pro in CS:Source. Wonder if they meant to show that or not.

NV leaked their 6600 vs. x700 "internal" presentation last week, so ATI has prepared these to counter.

The internal slides always crack me up as they are so biased it's just funny.

Interesting read. I particularly like the slide where they claim the 6600GT is a 4x2 pipeline card similar to the FX5900. I suppose thats why the 6600GT bests even the 9800 Pro in so many tests.

I do agree with ATI on a few points though. The R3xx chips were superior to the NV3x chips.

How can they claim that the X700 is faster than the 6600GT in Far Cry? Even at HardOCP they admitted that the GT was faster.

On top of that, they're downplaying the importance of Doom 3 benchmarks, when that game is arguably the most important benchmark that will be released within the next two years.

I hope the Ati fanbois heard their god and savor say that "BENCHMARKS DO NOT MATTER". Remember that before posting any 3dmark05 scores.

Dude you've got half the posts in a thread about Fud slinging marketing teams. Way to swing for the fences:)
