You said, "Don't base your buying decisions on the Inq since they were wrong about something they said in 2002." This is despite the fact that they have been right on the mark about a surprising number of things on a surprising number of subjects of late. Everyone knows that they were wrong about many things regarding the NV30, so the safe, easy thing to assume was that they would be wrong again.

Of course, anyone who's been paying attention could see that there was a certain ring of truth about the Inq's NV40 reporting this time around.

Your advice turned out to be incorrect, as I predicted. 'Pnwed,' I guess :p

No, his advice was actually correct. Never, ever, pre order based on something that came from the INQ. He was pretty much saying that the Inq had a reputation for being wrong moreso than right.

It would be stupid to even preorder now before the R420 launch.
 
Did that strategy prove to be correct? If I preordered expecting to get a card that would double the performance of today's cards and score 12,000 in 03 as the article stated, I got exactly what was advertised.

BTW, it would be stupid to preorder an NV40 not because of the article, but because we don't know what ATI has in store yet. Can't lump the two.

But it would have been gambling $500 on a tip from a unreliable source. That would not have been smart.
 
I actually agree with you. My point is that my hunch on this specific situation beat his generalized 'words of wisdom' -- how can I be 'pwned???' :p :D

I see what you're saying now. I just thought into more since it was an old bumped thread. I'm going to go get another cup of java.
