The official GT300/Fermi Thread

What is all this fanboy business about anyway. If you watch Formula One, or Football or any other sport, you cannot possibly say you don't have your favorite team. It's like I would prefer a Skyline over a Scooby, it's just personal preferance. It's a bit sad this whole 'you fanboy!' thing. I wouldn't mind using an ATI card, but still would prefer nVidia, I've always have had very good experiences with nVidia, especially driver wise and new features.

Little OT (don't shoot me please): The difference is that Formula One or Football are shows that you see for entertainment, they're shows where the participants compete, so it's logical that audience developes favoritism for certain participant. It's about it in the end.

But ATI, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel and so are companies that make products for you to buy. Supporting one like if they were "your team", making yourself blind about their "faults", or being happy about competition "losing the game", it's kind of sad IMHO. It's like if I am a fan of :banana::banana::banana:or (I don't know if it's in all the world, a home appliances vendor).

That said, I find that in forums the thing of fanboyism (I'm not talking about this specific case, not my business so...) is way abused now to make others opinions appear less valid or biased to strengthen the one's position. So I try to be the more distant the better about this term.

Of course, having a favourite brand based on personal experiences or other factors is perfectly good. I happen to not have them in this case, I've not had any bad experience with either ATi or NVIDIA. I have in other topics.

Oh, someone else think that this is a mess with so many threads about "GT300 and its specifications"

All those turns now here now there are making my head spin...
