I just don't get it.
No doubt nVIDIA knew GFFX won't shine over 9700p in the current status.
This initial driver has some defects it seems. A bit improvement of performance in near future was quite apparent.
At least, they should have sent some kind of DX9 benchmark program of their own to boast their strength. But they didn't.
They also knew it that they'll be criticized harshly on reviews.
Why did they send FX to those review sites prematurely? It just doesn't make any sense.
1. They sent a wrong driver version. - possible. but most unlikely
2. They actually thought ppl would worship and praise this almighty FX.
3. They got some kind of info that R350 is imminent. - also possible. but i doubt it'd be on Feb
4. They gave up on FX.
5. They had to proceed to NV35. - need to hurry production, not benchmark.
6. nVIDIA wants to make ppl happy by surprising them after this shock then re-shock with new great driver.
I can't imagine any other reasons possible. What do you guys think?
