There's no reason to believe that nForce2 would sabotage the Radeon cards. But just to make sure, I would have liked that Patrick Schmid benchmark the boards with a 9700 in his review of the latest nForce2 mobo. At least, he could have just wrote a side note stating the results of a test with the R300.
That all geForce cards would work with nForce2 was a no-brainer. The test setup should have included a 9700.
Am I on my own here?

That's true, nVidia will not sabotage Radeon since this only minimise their market but I think nVidia would somehow come out with an optimized setting for GeForce card.

THG's early XP 2800+ benchmarks were done with Radeon 9700 Pro and nForce2. Performance was not quirky. Anadtech ran Radeon 9700 Pro and Radeon 9000 Pro with nForce2, performance was also normal in their benchmarks.

And it doesn´t make sense not to use the Radeon as THG has usually used the fastest GC in all their tests. Maybe Schmid has something against ATI?
