I love nvidia fan boys, always willing to put and cards down when they smoke their cards.
My original point was the HD 7990 has beaten in all but one test the gtx 690 on its beta drivers yet you guys are basing everything about this card on that one test which people would not notice. It has higher fps in almost every game tested except like 1 or two.
Y'all are pulling crap on a beta card and trying to shove it down as being a bad product yet when your own cards come out way overpriced with issues, you won't say one word. Yes they have one connector, but they are not driver locked and prove that companies are able to do it (though I swore I saw some quad configs of HD 6870s but they must have been 5 series). You guys come on amd card reviews to talk smack if the card does not win in 1 test and then declare nvidia is always the best when your paying a premium for nothing extra.
Ill defend a card when people make up facts like you do that this one test that just started being tested for within the last year or so making it sound like its the only test that matters because you now lose in almost all other tests.
Your also saying I'm basing my facts on the future? Ok your right, I am predicting they will make it better with time. However you trying to compare a card just released on beta drivers to a card that's been out for 6 months and even though its still beating it your acting like its still worse and isn't worth buying just like last round with the HD 6990 vs gtx 590 debate. Even though in the tests the 6990 had more fps on average in the benches, you guys still tried to make it.
Why not talk about how the 690 is unlocked yet getting stable overclocks is hard beyond a slight point and how much it heats up with overclocking and being pretty much required to overvolt it.
You won't because you can't stand your card getting beaten, get over it, stop acting all high and mighty. This card is a beast and will only get better with time, once it's out and people have it we can see how well it does, but as for now stop making that one test sound like a deal breaker.
And on the quadfire mistake, your correct I had not looked at those cards much this gen and assumed more than I did, that's my mistake. However, they are not driver locked like nvidia does so non-reference. Ones could be made like they did in the past. I do acknowledge this as a mistake on my part for not noticing the connector as I had been looking at a 7970 by xfx thing it was a 7870 because I was tired.
I still stand by stop judging this card to be a horrible card just because its beating your fan boy card.
