"The fact of the matter is that most poor performance scenarios for today’s GPUs are the fault of poorly coded games rather than a lack of processing horsepower." - HardewareCanucks

I've been saying the same crap for years now. It's like smashing an ant with a sledgehammer. You know, don't fix the code, just add another card via sli and you'll be happy. Oh well, the 5800 series looks solid for the price and the power consumption is fantastic at those performance levels, but I really don't see a reason to upgrade if you have a last generation card and game at 1900x1200 or lower. For those of you that do, it's your money and I'm sure you'll enjoy the new toy...

It's nice to see people whining at programmers. The guys work with limited resources(Financial and time), usually over 60 hour weeks(esp. during the crunch time) doing what they can. Possibly one of the hardest professions to master, poorly paid. And yeah, "code better" is what they get, and seemingly deserve from the people they do the work for.

Though, I guess it's quite broadly agreed that the companies
decisions are to blame, not really the people doing the hard work. Bad happens, poor field to work on.

Edit: Oh meh, just debunked it all.
