Why are you a nef?

Because it was hailed as a revolutionary product, and couldn't even beat the current (6 month old) king, and was absoultely crushed by the new ATI offering. And it takes up an extra slot.

This is why the FX is suck

Watch the R9500 Pro utterly <Raynor Wolfcastle Voice> crush it like little bug </RWV>

I couldn't finish reading that article. I thought I was going to be ill when I saw the FX5600 failing to not only the Ti4200 but barely squeaking by the R9000.

Dont feel bad. Here is the 9700 Pro getting beat by a Ti4200.

It happens.

Thanx for that link 🙂 I've been looking@a vid card upgrade and that article confirmed for me that most of the games I play are more dependent on my CPU, but also indicates some require the new card for eye candy, and since Delta Force:Blackhawk Down is choppy as hell@1024x768x32 with everything on high on my 8500LE with a 2.4B@3.114ghz I'm still gonna spring for a new card.

NP. That article is interesting for a variety of reasons.

One of them is the fact CPU + GPUs still go hand in hand. The second makes you wonder if drivers are not optimized for the game engines review sites typically use.(Quake III, soon to be Doom 3).

I'd like to see benchmarks of the GFFX's against a GF4600.

There are heaps of those and one such review is at beyond3d.

I don't like those reviews because they exclude the 9700 Pro.

LOL- they don't, guys who start flamebait threads do.

Actually, it technically sucks and blows.

Of course forum trolls swallow.
