XGI cheeting exposed.

I remember reading the news bits that said they admitted to cheating, and there were articles that showed the issue, from reviewers, so it was in some form of shipping product. Thanks for the correction, but are you 100% sure?

Quite.

ATI says:
The current RADEON 8500 driver revision has an issue that prevents it from correctly interpreting the texture quality slider setting in Quake 3.

(The rest of the article is fairly useless conspiracy-mongering, though)
 
Reviewers at www.driverheaven.com state they were unable to catch graphical glitches on screen captures. Looks like screenshots detenction:

Another disturbing issue was the quality of image outputted through the card when compared to the screencaptures we took. On several occasions we attempted to capture bugs onscreen (e.g. DVD quality or Unreal Tournaments many issue) and the captured image was significantly improved over the realtime image. Yet again a driver bug which helps skew reviews in favour of the Volari, hiding its true performance from the end user/review reader
 
bottom line is xgi cards suck.... only a ignorant person with no computer knowledge would purchase one.
