AMD Respond to Nvidia's Tough Radeon HD 5800 Questions
Posted by Regeneration on September 27th, 2009, 01:08 PM

Shane Baxtor from Tweaktown has published the following: "I love the launch of new graphics cards, especially when it comes to AMD products. The main reason for this is that NVIDIA normally send over an email asking if we've got samples and when we respond with a yes, we get some questions that they think we should be asking ourselves.

This time was no different; the email came through right on time with NVIDIA asking the "tough" questions. To be honest though, I'm not AMD, I don't really feel great about answering questions on behalf of AMD, so with an email sent we had someone who was willing to respond. That person was Chris Hook who is AMD Global Communications, now with Global Communications in your title, you've got to feel pretty safe that the right person is responding."

Aren't they punishing PC gamers by pushing out the schedule of PC titles such as Dirt 2 in order to support DX11?

Proprietary standards punish gamers, not industry standards like DirectX11. Why is NVIDIA punishing gamers by putting in proprietary and closed standards like PhysX in games?
Priceless. Also, why do they lock down physx to systems equipped only with Nvida GPU's?

To be honnestly honest in a most honnestly honest way, I honestly belive that he was being honest.
(sorry I had to make fun of how often he used honest or honnestly... -sigh-)

When Nvidia came up with SM3, they said: "Oh, gamers want the latest technology". Suddenly they aren't big fans of the latest technology.

They got fucked by the 5870/50 and now they're all like "mommy, it's not fair, ATI offers much better quality/price ratios, we're even less competitive then we were before. We locked down physx, bribe our way on the gaming market, but it's just not enough..."

Pathetic.

nvidia just up to their underhanded tactics as always, if they cant win by rigging benchmarks, buying reviews or paying off developers then they gotta bad mouth and start propaganda.

Shit, I forgot about rigged benchmarks.

I think both companies have their strengths but PR isnt one of them. Both companies really need to focus on their products and ensure they continue giving their core audience what they want while still catering to those who desire the most blistering fast products they can put out or some other company may just do that and eat away at their market. Those "tough questions were really not much more than a defense tactic of a company who was caught sleeping ATI would have probably done something simular if they were the ones caught sleeping. Either way congrats to Ati for being the first out the gate with DX 11 parts and way to go for keeping the answers civil.

But I thought that enthusiasts don't buy old technology.
