Anand: PII vs. Q9550 vs. i7 crossfire, Phenom II = smoother

[iandh]

Interesting as a social study and how people are "able" to interprete communication in a certain direction.

I could easily have written the same "conclution" but instead of puttin' the blame on "people from the dark side" I would say that the most blinded fanbois is from the "not-so-dark side".

BTW:
Just using expressions like "The dark side" sure do disqualify any further arguments from these people. Then we are discussing religion/believers and that has nothing to do with hw/benches/numbers.
Sick.

I would then again have to contradict your statement. I use AMD and Intel systems on a daily basis and have parts from both companies sitting in my closet (more intel than AMD in fact atm), yet still prefer my AMD system for gaming.

What does that make me?

I try to share my experiences about my AMD SYSTEM in the AMD FORUM and get zerg rushed by a bunch of douches that have already called BS before even considering that there could be some truth to this.

Then I find an article which further confirms my personal experiences, and now instead of "Pure BS, Lies, Fanboy", I get "Ok maybe it did stutter but its because of 26 reasons other than the platform".... what kind of chicken backstepping argument is that?


People can't open their minds a little and see past a brand logo long enough to consider that MAYBE, just MAYBE, they don't know EVERYTHING there is to know about PC's and how they perform in different situations... sad.

Instead of discussion, we just end up with a thread full of poorly veiled insults, speculation, and braindead intellitubbies trying to pose as intellectuals.

The article is quite funny. They go on about "smooth gameplay"

They cant mean Timed demos because those have all concluded that the Intels do tend to do alot better in Min/Avg and Max fps

I can only put it down to them actually playing the games themselves in which case it means the human factor comes into the equation of not following the exact same path or doing the exact same thing.

The last one they say the Phenom II felt smoother yet min fps never dropped below 60fps therefor you wouldnt notice the difference anyway. just like they stated earlier on in the review. They seem to not notice a difference in 9fps in min fps but yet as soon as its a 2fps difference it suddenly "feels" smoother.

The Phenom II certainly seems to be a solid performer but all this "Smoothness" arguement is just a load of crap really. Ive played on Phenom II and C2Q and i dont think either is "Smoother" than the other.

Your post is a load of crap.

I love because how YOU didn't notice a difference, all of a sudden that means that nobody else possibly could have... wow. Who died and made you omniscient supreme being?

The several complete intel rigs sitting in my closet and AMD rig sitting on my desk say you are WRONG.


Your argument about 2fps vs. 9fps is meaningless, and can not possibly relate in any way to which game would have stuttering/hitches. Just more derailment to take attention away from the point we have been trying to stay on this whole thread.

I swear, every review site on the entire net could post an article confirming this and you still would somehow find the balls to think that your opinion somehow causes the experiences of hundreds of hardware users and now this review site to vanish and become invalid.

Oh wait, I think I see a yeti outside...
