Hahahanoobs I can speak for myself, I just don’t think it’s worth my time and effort. You have taken something incredibly small and blown it up into something it isn’t. I’m not sure where you get off saying it was easy for me to blame it on DOF like I did no testing? We looked into what was holding the GeForce cards back using the GTX 680 and GTX Titan.
Because nVIDIA, TR, and Fudzilla say otherwise.

Having disabled Tessellation this only improved performance by 4fps, all the other settings such as textures and detail levels made no difference when backing them off one setting. Then when we turned DOF down from ultra to high we saw the same kind of performance from the GeForce cards as we did in the high quality tests. It was not TressFX at all, it was not Tesselation, there is an issue with DOF.
Are you still on about that Tess comment I made? Sheesh. Are you sure you do research?

You sir, just got served. I was right telling that guy to try turning it off to stop the crashes. For some reason, you think it does nothing tor crashes, because your system didn't crash because of it. Pretty damn foolish to think your computer represents everyone else's. You got the shortest straw and that's how you ended up with this test, isn't it Steve?
I never said their wasn't an issue with DoF. I and the links I posted are telling you it goes beyond that. Read them, because days before your article, these were already hitting the internet, and your article didn't reference any of the content in them. THAT is my problem.
If you don’t believe this and feel the need to call us liars then what the hell are you doing here reading our content? We clearly cannot be trusted and our main goal is to steer readers towards the red team.
Trying to correct you. The site is decent, but it could be better. Hence the decision to put in a comment section. Or are you saying your comment section is only for praise and worshiping the writers here?
I have read other articles on other websites and done a great deal of research on the matter. The fact is we have done more testing than most of the sites out there. Also for your information I completed this article mid last week, well before any patches and before there was much known about the game.
Your testing? lol you just started putting in minimum framerates, while everyone else has moved onto frame times and latency, and you think your testing methods trump anyone elses? That's funny. The sites are getting the information from nVIDIA and Crystal Dynamics (not Creative w/e I wrote before) directly. I could care less about either of your tests. No testing you do will trump nVIDIA's and CD's testing.
As far as you doing the article last week, and you now being caught up, an update to the article will come shortly I imagine? It's only good journalism to do so since the story is in a huge thumbnail on your homepage, and not buried and forgotten.
I’m not sure where you get off saying it was easy for me to blame it on DOF like I did no testing? We looked into what was holding the GeForce cards back using the GTX 680 and GTX Titan.
Because it clearly was easy, and congrats! You tested a game that nVIDIA got the code for AFTER it was released! YAY! They specifically say their are multiple issues that users have and are still having. Read the articles I posted and the ones you read again, because you're missing something.
Screw all the stuff up there you thought I was saying. This is what ALL my comments were about:
You say nVIDIA has an issue with DoF.
You FAIL to go any deeper into the reason, other than to say DoF is the cause which is not proven completely.
You say a GTX 680 performs worse than a 7870.
You FAIL to even flinch. How did that not set off a red flag? Oh right, you already diagnosed it as DoF, while nVIDIA and Crystal Dynamics are obviously confused running around thinking its multiple issues with the game. You did manage a "Buy AMD" campaign though.
You say, "for now" buy AMD.
You FAIL to say for how long.
And after reading your reply:
You say you read the articles after publishing this one.
You FAIL to update your article with that information from nVIDIA themselves, or make any reference since reading them to me here in the comments. It seems you are quite stuck on DoF being THE cause.
You are convinced it's DoF.
You FAIL to prove it. Yes I believe you lost performance with it at Max. But their could be and probably is an underlying issue affecting it, but you have already made the conclusion before Crystal Dynamics and nVIDIA have, so if things don't work out for you at TechSpot, you most likely have a job troubleshooting and diagnosing at nVIDIA since you are better at it than they are.
Please update your article with the news you received after publishing it.
