Thanks. Not sure why I did very high in farcry2. It seemed like a good idea at the time, probably because I also did DX9 tests on the GTX 460's and it performs a lot worse in Dx9 than it does in DX10.

Isn't it obvious? The GTX 560 SE card is hugely popular among average non-enthusiast comsumers, much to the chagrin of the FanATIcs who think everybody should be purchasing AMD mid-range cards, hence the attacks over at the other forum. AMD can only fantasize about having their mid-range sell like GTX560's of all flavors do.

I'm not done benchmarking yet by the way, will be updating soon with extra results and yes, it is somewhat relevant to that other thread too.

Greg the problem with that thread was OP was involved in thread crapping in other threads.They took it out on OP on that thread.After couple of posts I backed out for safety

That was certainly part of it, but the FanATIcs absolutely HATE the GTX 560-SE and GTX 460-SE, and try to trash them any chance they get, because most consumers will choose one over an AMD mid-range card. I have experience with GTX 460 SE's, and I'll be bringing it to bear in the next few days (have to retrieve one from my sisters machine first).

Isn't it *obvious* about the leaning of VC&G?
- we know for a fact that AMD employees post there freely without disclosure. And they attack their competitor - which is also ostensibly forbidden by AMD. Stealth marketing at its absolute worst. And most people are in denial about it

Even SB joins in with an elitist comment in the gang bang

To be fair, he later apologized. However, that forum is not a great place to discuss and the hate is contagious

For once, their mod got it right:

What is wrong with them?

Just came across a nice Crysis 1 benchmark utility for those intimitated by finding and running the built-in benchmarks and finding the logs files (not difficult to do, really imo). It also has a neat timedemo of the assault harbor level which you can benchmark with (need to copy the time-demo files into the harbor level folder, unfortunately it doesn't automate that bit). Plenty of action, that you would normally be doing yourself in game.

It's hard not to get drawn into the nonsense over there. Everyone seems to hate Gordon Freemen. He actually went at me a couple of times and started posting quite a bit of FUD before I retaliated in his thread. I feel bad about it now and I accept the infractions I received wholeheartedly.

Yes, he posts some pretty annoying stuff that he seems to make up.

However, in any forum, instead of retaliating, simply report the posts ... or, put him on the ignore/enemy list.

Then you don't have to read his drivel and you won't get infracted


What is an infraction? You get a certain number and you get a short 'vacation'

I think the mods there should do what is done on the Australian Whirlpool forums. Unacceptable posts get hidden, so the thread can be read minus the derails.
