Ok, well that's great. Can you tell that to Diamond then for me please? Because I tried and tried to tell them this, and tried, over and over again. And at the end after going through 5 of their cards with same results myself I decided to give up. Something about keeping the fan at 100%, my room sounding like an airport runway, and still not being able to stabilize their stock XOC BEs did not appeal to me after all those tries...
I think your first sentence should say
Also, I am not sure what I am "holding against [ATI engineers]". I do not even remember mentioning them. In terms of knowing more than they do, maybe, you never know. I am an engineer too actually and I can guarantee you without a shadow of a doubt that if you think all engineers know their jobs you are sadly mistaken, and on top of that yes we too make mistakes
Anyway, who even mentioned engineers...
Oh and I had to add this...
ATI only really engineered and designed the RV770. The card is made up of a crapload of components that ATI had nothing to do with from conceptualization right up to the finished product. They just chose off the shelf components to use to build and run the circuits on their cards. They came up with the reference specification, but that does nothing for the quality of particular components especially in large batches where issues are more prone.
