NVIDIAs Desperate Stand?!?!

Well, for one, the person who wrote this little review kind of knows his stuff like very well. I don't think he is Biast one bit, but know how to present good solid facts.

So, here is Wizzard & his review ;)

My mind is already made up, and you can even take a Volt Meter to measure the 7800GTX 512MB voltages. Way too high for a stock card.

That looks to be quite biased to me. I doubt NVIDIA would release the product for it to fail. If it does, the user can get it replaced. And I never knew the X1800XT 512MB costed the same as a 7800GTX?  O_o

X1800XT costs about 100$ more. :)

Well, I read the thread a little more & found that it is not a review, but jsut some klips which ATI is using.

And the 7800GTX 256MB is cheaper because the X1800XT 512MB is faster. That is why NVIDIA came out with there 512MB OC'ed version.

Love this slide.  What's the closest competitor?  And it doesn't say whether AA or AF is enabled for the \"closest competitor\".

Seems pretty darn biased to me.

And the diagrams are mostly useless.
