nice! a fellow aeron owner :) aren't they fantastic chairs?

actually no, they're pretty craptastic trinitron 19"s. they did to 1600x1200 @ 85 hz though, which was great for gaming.

I'm seriously starting to think ati hasn't optimized their 64 bit drivers yet..

I'm frustrated that all the [H] regulars (and especially Kyle) seem to think I'm "[H] Bashing". Re-read my initial post here http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1031985071&postcount=638 and please try to understand that I'm coming from the perspective that I DO agree with you guys and I...

I have no idea. I'd love to see Kyle and the gang run some basic canned benchmarks with their setup and with a few more cards and more games... then do some more of their trademarked real-gameplay crunching too with a few more titles.. nothing as exhaustive as they've done already, just more...

very interesting considering it looks like most of their numbers come from custom demos and in-game fps measurements. it's really starting to look like something's wrong with [H]'s setup.

that article was perfectly acceptable for the reviews that [H] published between the time it was released and this one.. but it doesn't account for the massive difference in performance we're seeing here. Something else is going on. [H]'s reviews have historically shown differences from...

there's a lot of good stuff in this [H] review.. I don't mean to sound that none of my ideas are already in place.. that's why I said "keep the review 90% the same". you're right.. i'm just trying to make some suggestions that would keep the site from attracting so much negative attention

kinda, but right there. in every review, on every page with results. note that most respectable sites explain how they get their numbers on every page too.. but when you're one of the only sites on the net doing things a certain way, you HAVE to go out of your way to explain why your results...

The difference is presumably because the test anandtech and tom's used was getting fps rates from a pre-recorded demo / cutscene instead of averaging out FPS from real gameplay.

I'm a little skeptical of that subjective analysis.. if the meter registered that large of a difference compared to the other cards minimal differences, I think it'd be very noticeable. I hate video card fan noise..

no, but i've seen weirder things in my time. the steam processors might be smart enough to ignore problematic units.. if they were maybe only a few on the sample [H] received were bad.. *shrug*

tech report confirms it's much louder than competing cards too. this is a good question... maybe [H] really did get a bum card.

Why not do something about it then? Your methodology and passion are both commendable, but listening to all the feedback this article has generated and judging by the fact that numerous 'review lists' are omitting the [H] review (the inq and dailytech come to mind) should be an indication that...
