The eternal struggle for overpowerness still holds the Red team. The reason we start with this topic is that we got really bored reading how much better is ATI with DirectX 11 and multi-monitor support, and all the greatness you receive when you buy HD58xx. Dear ATI, we guess it suits you right to kick the supposedly dead horse of the green team, but yelling how good you are in your Twits, pointing the fact NVIDIA probably doesn’t even have a board ready, just reminds us that fact say ATI has good history of showing off paper dragons that eat dirt when they finally come out. Do you know how much time we waited for you to finally make a good fast videocard? A lot. So now that we have at least the fast one, please get your driver developer team up and tell your PR guys to shut up – it’s not like they do anything useful, even marketing wise. You have the huge demand for HD5xxx, but you also have to answer to this image here: ATI not having HD5xxx driver for XP:
(not a menu, so hold your clicks)
Furthermore, DirectCompute, Bullet, etc. goodies that are supposed to make our gaming experience better seem to be a bigger paper traits than any of your competitor’s extras. It’s not like NVIDIA can use those – exactly the opposite, they have supported those standards openly, while they still have the non-standards to do the job that no one else did. So how twisted is to repeatedly tell people how much better you are while you leave them without drivers? Good fo you, ATI, but it’s not even twisted, it seems lame.
8/10 for the lamest videocard PR campaign ever
24.10.2009: OK, so ATI heard us (well, probably not “us” but the angry crowd of Radeon users) and released drivers for XP. We call it a win and it wins ATI lower twisted rating. Still not enough to lower it under 7/10, though.
7/10 for ATI’s “best” PR campaign
- Higher Twisted Rating is worse!
