    Re: The King is here.

    Ok...so they use a custom demo...and DICE supplies it...and they make sure it doesn't benchmark the CPU when they're trying to benchmark the videocard...

    Modified to suit our needs hardly means that they focused it on one or the other...Do you think they'd admit to cheating? Even Tom's Hardware wouldn't admit to cheating, and EVERYONE knows they're full of BS when it comes to videocards.

      You are the one who said anyone is cheating. I just said they use a timedemo.

          Most likely. I expect next gen cards to come out in late summer.

            You DID imply cheating. Using situations that benefit one type of card over another = cheating.

              Ok, it's official, anybody who says overall that the X1800XT is better than the GTX 512mb (overall, not just like Half life 2) is a crazy fanboy. Even THG has to agree: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...114/index.html So diehard fanboys for ATi, just yield to the truth, nvidia is better, at least ATM.

                I was saying each review may use a different map, not each card a reviewer tests is on a different map. That would be stupid.

                  Yes it would be stupid. And thats not what I meant.

                  Oh, forget it, you probably wouldn't understand anyways.

                  Anyways, even Tom's Hardware shows the 7800GTX-512MB kicking the X1800XT's ass...even in Half-Life 2.

                    Yes even Tom's. The 7800 GTX 512 is definetly the best card out which would be why it's on my shopping list. Seems we are just full of misunderstandings.

                      Yeah, now you two just calm down (well you never REALLY got angry, but still) and try not to get a flame war started. This is what get's people banned, flame wars+somebody reporting them.

                        We kept it pretty clean I though, and I'm not scared of a ban.

                            Yea, not scared of a ban either. I just came here to help with whatever I could, I could care less if I got banned.

                              You two kiss and make up.

                              Anyway, back to the topic. I will probably purcahse this in a few months when they're back in stock and the price goes down...unless something new comes out (which I doubt). I can expect high 3DMark05 scores with this (if I have enough money, I might get an SLI setup).

                              Off Topic: Uh-oh, theres a big tornado watch in my area right now! =O
