It WILL affect you, since you've put enough faith in its benchmarking results to buy the Pro version.

Ahh. Classic Burke at it's best. Have you ever read any post from BillA? There was one time this guy could'nt prove his point and Bill told him "as usual you have contributed little more than irritation and nonsense to yet another thread. The only thing you have proven is your incompetence and ability to annoy. Now go away".
He's the best.

Now on topic:
A) This is why my next card will be an Ati.
B) Synthetic benchmarks are just that.

Some people help through compassion and understanding. I do it through ridicule. Two roads to the same result!

By Nvidia trying to pull this stunt off they must think that we are stupid or something and that they can con us into purchasing and Nvidia card over the ATI or another company thinking that if we go with them we will have the better/faster card. Which i think in most cases is not true since review after review shows that ATI's 9000 series of GPU's outperforms Nvidia's FX series is majority of the cases, if not all cases!

It was mentioned here before (because this news is nothing really "new" anymore been reported about 2-3 wks ago) that most, if not all, vid card makers have travelled down the same road at one point and time. And yes, sadly even ATi has been convicted in the past, sorry....

atleast ATI isn't doing that anymore (i think) and have fessed up about that stuff (i think) and didn't try to cover it up like Nvidia did and is still continuing to do!

I might as well just laugh...otherwise, I'll be rolling over in the grave along with E.B. White.
