NVIDIA and ATi: Game Over

[Robin B]

På tide, eller et par. år for sent.

 

Often the product's drivers are not ready, special editions or in beta stage and testers are struggling to keep up with last minute updates. Almost every instance results in what we now believe to be a disservice to the consumer.

 

Today, we announce that we are not going to play that game again.

 

It is a disservice to our readers to rush testing just because a vendor wants to get a big PR launch.

It is a disservice to our readers to constantly deal with last minute, rushed products that may have little to do with finally shipping products -

It is a disservice to our readers to constantly deal with products weeks or months before the products become available to the market.

It is a disservice to our readers to cave in to the pressure that comes from the expectation by vendors that every online review will appear on a single day giving them a big bang opening day.NVIDIA and ATI have a right to pursue their own PR strategies, but the back-to-back launches and launch day competition is getting ridiculous.

Rimelig kraftig angrep på ATI og Nvidia. Leste allikevel en ganske utfyllende test av Geforce6200 på www.anandtech.com. Allikevel så har han noen gode poeng..
