Well if he thought that slide is real then he really has no clue. You can see the bars go black at the top. :ROTF:

I really dislike these marketing slides even if its fake, lol, seriously people have to be dumb to fall for deceptive scales like that.Quote:

I'm assuming from the reviews I have read about the 570 is that it performs equally to the 480, so Fuad doesn't know what he is talking about again..
The next 7 days are going to be very long indeed :(
Considering the sheer value the card offered, I expected higher numbers considering the reviews were so glowing. It really took out alot of big whoppers in reviews like the 5850(from a value perspective) and even the 5770 looked less nice at it's 159 dollar price point.Quote:

When you totally disbelieve Charlie, atleast you have to put Fuad in the same boat if you ever want to claim being evenhanded, but not doing so will only reveal what kinda hypocrite you actually are. :ROTF:
He was talking about Vantage - as far as I remember the GF110's have much improved Vantage performance in comparison to GTX 480. Disproportional to the game performance increase. So it's possible that GTX 570 is faster at Vantage then the 480, but it doesn't really mean anything.Quote:

I already said fud is usually inaccurate, hence what I said, its fud, but he gets things this close to launch, he usually quick to revise specs as it comes closer to launch date.Quote:

I also believed Charlie in the existence of the gtx 580 when he started talking about it.
For those wondering why it's obvious that it's fake and have a bad monitor.... (:shakes:)...Quote:

get rid of those FUD screenys, i swear last few months nothing but fake crap from them...
I don't think we can count on anyone for accuracy, from Nordic, Charlie, Fud when it comes to rumors lately. When it comes to AMD, they send out too many red herrings that you can only get the right info the day just before the launch. Man if this is inaccurate and its just a week before, man its difficult to get leaks from AMD.Quote:

The slide is obvious fake, but who says the numbers aren't real? I think it wouldn't be the first time something like that happened.
Probably fake, I just found part of the slide data came from the 6870 vs gtx 460 1gb slide.Quote:

Quite some are actually unedited... (I was already looking at that slide myself):Quote:

You can't be serious. So someone has hard data but instead of just leaking that hard data they photoshop it into an AMD slide that everyone would figure out was phoshoped and disbelieve as a result?Quote:

I wouldn't be saying that, if it didn't happen. I just can't remember, what was it actually about.
He had the slides, but instead of posting it, he made his own. The numbers turned out to be true.
Why do people bother posting Fuad's Fudzilla's articles about ATI? All he ever writes that ATI isn't going to fully compete against NVIDIA's high end offerings, blah blah blah.
So both the GTX460 1GB -> GTX480 and 6870 -> 6970 would have ligned up liniar (unedited bars).... No.Quote:

Nobody can tell you the hard facts without breaking NDA, so people just guess. Do these numbers actually look reasonable? I think so.
What do you want to hear exactly? That the numbers Nordic HW posted are real? That someone actually already guessed the right number of stream processors, but it got covered so quickly, that most people didn't notice? That the launch driver received the WHQL today? Maybe, that HD 6850 is also going to be available with 2GB of RAM? Or how about the PCB being red?
There were no questions, direct or implied, in your statement. It was a claim. This is a rumor thread - so not only do rumors get collected here, we get to debunk them here. I have been watching rumor threads for quite some time and I never remember anything like what you are describing.Quote:

Ok. Believe whatever you want.Quote:

Frankly, I have heard enough. Soon it will be time to see the truth and make some mental (and public) notes about all the claims floating around.Quote:
