I don't believe what Tom's guide did! It was very stupid thing. Your review on which card is best for doom 3 is sorta lame.

Very lame. The whole review that you used was using unmatched cards which I'm sure you guys did on purpose to make Invidia look good. Why would you do a benchmark process with a 128 mb card (radeon x800) vs a 256 mb card (invidia 6800). Clearly, Tom's hardware is choosing favorites already before you decively benched marked the products. If your reply is that you chose cards that were based on prices, then you are wrong! Who tells the consumer which product to buy based on prices. Very stupid if that is why you did the benchmarks so primitively. The next thing you will tell us is to buy intel systems and not AMD. You guys need to get the lead out and start doing tests without prejudice. You use cards based on their specs and memory is one the primary aspects of basing different cards. Just because Invidia can't get the lead out and build a card worth getting, doesn't make it right for Tom's Hardware to down play Invidia's errors.
You should have used Radeon X800 256 meg card to match the 256 Invidia card... furthermore, I suppose you guys used AGP for one card while using PCI Xpress on another?
This review is totally screwed up and you guys need to redo the whole benchmarks before I even think of reading another review from you dorks!
P.S. I use to look up to Tom's site for great reviews and unmatched benchmarks like back in the late 90's. But since 2001, Tom's site is totally went down hill. From your review of the Pentium 2.0 ghz processor, I've never looked at Tom's Reviews the same. Somehow your site has been taken over by manufacturers that give your site loyalty bonuses or something, so you guys have favorites, just because companies give you something to make them look good. I don't believe this but, I trust MSN hardware site more than Tom's Site, and that's pretty sad.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by sanjose on 08/11/04 03:02 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
