The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

The problem is.. he has not been that far off. And unfortunately... we have been lied to by "reviewers" and BIG QUOTES "Internet journalists" for so long now (hey remember when nVidia PAID people to go spam forums??? was not that long ago )ANYTHING you read should be taken with a grain of salt because 99.99% of them NEVER went to journalism school and as such never took an ethics class. On top of that.. you gotta figure that 9 out of 10 journalists are slanted anyway.

So what did Charlie say wrong? 2% ? TSMC admitted to "single digit success percentages" on their wafers but that the yields were only as low as 20%. (If you cant find the story on google you either are not looking or it was removed)

So Charlie was right! but not in the same breath. And the fools that think Charlie is an idiot but take nVidia PR as gospel (a company that has been proven to lie to you over and over) well its stupid to point it out.

Its like starting a converstation about how bad the news is and then say... " Well gee wilikers, even the daily show is more adherent to the truth than Foxnews/CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC/XXX or Vivid entertainment" UM WOW... you mentioned the daily show in a news thread.. thanks alot moron. You just proved that society really is stupid. The fact that when someone brings up news you think of a comedy show just seals the deal...(I bring this point up because I see it so often and it is a perfect example of how poorly educated our world society is today, this is not a USA problem it is a globalization problem...)

So with that thought process... Don't believe ANYTHING you read.. but also don't try and discredit Charlie either... he is more believable than the great green PR machine.

No one, especially this board has been taking NV pr as the truth. Similarly no one has paying attention to the pr of other company. I don't think NV should be singled out for lying, all companies do it nowadays. I don't remember Nvidia even really lying about fermi. Its just rumors that didn't turn out to be true more than anything. Sure rebranding g92 can sort of been seen as lying, but they are not forcing a gun to anyone head to buy it and they are not raising the price. The only clear lie I think was the fake gf100, but that wasn't going to do anything for potential buyers.

Although, Charlie has been right a few times(all related to the same thing), doesn't make him the most accurate guy. Your making it sounds like charlie hasn't been wrong before. Charlie has been wrong on a few things, the most recent being NV cancels big bang MSI motherboard or oakridge project being canceled. Or Nvidia being in trouble for the last two quarters for having nothing to counter 5xxx.

I don't remember about hearing about people spaming on behalf of NV. I don't think you are giving review website enough credit if you think 90 percent are being bribed. On the opposite end, people say anandtech was one of the people who brought about the gts250 coverup, but these same people will then say Intel is known for loving intel and from what I have seen, only Anand has a bawlin lifestyle supported primarily through his website. Similarly, it was not that long ago when HardOCP was being accused by members on this board for favoring Nvidia. I think there is alot of conspiracy theories that are not true.

I thinks it dont buy things based on rumors and to also buy something when you actually need it. Don't be a fanboy for any company because all they want is your money.
