Wow when it comes down to it, it truly is a shocker. Ati's "High End" card really came short even with the driver updates. I mean when I got my GTS's they were 279.99 at Future Shop (BEST BUY for Canada). The ATi was almost or around 400$!!!!
The only advantge I've seen in the Ati's were the GDDR4 which kinda proved lacking. I know that Ati had driver problems but if I were an ATi consumer that bought a card with those results I'd prob drop dead from anger.
And trust me I use to be an ATI enthusiast, had all kinds of ATIs: 7500, 8500 AIW, 9500 pro (9700 SOFTMOD YEA), 9800 XT, x600 XT, x800 XL, X1900 AIW and finally the X1950 pro ( oc to XT). NOw i'm running Nvidia 8800 GTS in SL! ( which was alot better than crossfire from personal experiences).
I hope ATI comes back from this fall...not only because they're an awesome company but also to bring down the F'in Prices!!!!!
Thank You LMAO
