I can't believe what people take for truth

If it is posted on the internet it must be true.

The "ATI is dead" and the "ultra will dissapoint" stuff is entertaining. But please... sensationalism is just that... sensationalism. If you don't want to take my words on it, wait until the launch days and have your discussions then. There is a lot to be said about the Radeon products and the new Ultra. Since you are posting here in the forums of Tom's Hardware, please use your rational minds to see the fud and wait for the world-wide consensus. At that point you don't have to take my word on it; you will see many different angles on the new hardware. When the silicon is in hand and the drivers are ready... you will get the whole story. Until then.... take a deep breath and wait 'til launch. There are some cool things coming that many of us have been waiting for. Be patient until then.

A recent study showed that the majority of internet users have not figured how to enable rationality of the mind.

I agree with what you say. There are some respectable names on this forum that seem to be drinking a bit too much Haterade, and there are still fanboys preaching who has won and who is going bankrupt. Quite frankly I'm tired of all the crap speculation. Real R600 benchmarks can't come soon enough to end this debacle.

You're point is well taken but the Ultra did disappoint. I hope you haven't cursed ATI.

Amen.

I also want the NDA's lifted, some official benchmarks would be interesting. Also, we can check some of this stuff that Fudzilla has been saying.

Sweet, so you're saying the S3 DX10 cards are gonna rock? COOL! Can't Wait !!

Now I'd love to be rational about this, but I simply can't since there's too many rumours out there with DT, the InQ, Fuad and even Kyle @ [H], and those guys are never wrong!

So..... since they conflict and they're never wrong.... I betcha the new cards aren't just DX10, they're Quantum Graphics Cards, SUCKING and DOMINATING at the same time !! Woohooo !!!

i don't take anything at its face value.

i almost wish that others were as cynical as i.

actually that would make life really shitty. so nevermind.

anyway good point.

haha you said weed [/immaturity]

yeah, i'm still pretty young, and i've been realizing that i can't trust many of the things that i used to...like news media... and mindless tech hype... i think its sad that people have to be slightly cynical as you said to protect themselves... of course the illusive utopian civilization would never lie to you... and thats why its illusive.

anyway, there has been a wave of blind faith in a lot of rumors that have been circulating, and i hope that the r600 will surprise in some aspects and show people not to get so worked up about speculation.

even though the lack of speculation makes the tech world kinda drab.

I don't know, but there was alot of metal and plastic involved.

The biggest disappointment with ATI is they kept pushing back the release date for the R600. I just hope when they are released, they perform better than the 8X00 series. If not, I just hope they offer the best bang for your buck at least.

Its sad but true.

Today they mean you're either very old, a grand parent, or dead.

Its sad but true.

Common Sense Isn't.

Oxymoron, like Military Intelligence. (no offence to soldiers here. talking top level stuff. such as the 'proof' of WMDs in Iraq...)

Oxymoron......hrmmm.....Isn't that an AMD chip? I should upgrade my Opteron to that
