Its all in the name of PR. Anyone who is planning on buying a GTX4xx card without waiting for reviews won't have their minds changed by something such as this. As for the rest of the sane world, they will wait to take in the more level headed and honest reviews which will be out in force in a matter of days. Marketers embellishing the truth? Oh really?!

I'll be waiting for reviews, but it's definitely a 470 or 480 for me: it just depends on performance and 100% certain pricing on newegg that will decide it.Its all in the name of PR.

I don't know much about these drivers, but is is natural with some limitations so early. Specially for these cards that are based on a totally new architecture.
Are you dismissing the driver problems in such a early stage?

It's not a driver bug. It's the Dirt2 Demo lacking the correct profiles for the GTX 4X0 cards (The demo was released 6 months ago)
The full game does seem to have the correct profiles.
Not mentioning that the benchmark is GTX470@DX9 vs HD5870@DX11 is a differend topic

Don't be so patronising, everyone has bugs.
As for cheating the rules have changed, in DX10 they added rasterisation rules. If a card is rendering something it has to be a certain way. So now if it isn't done the right way, it's normally because something is wrong not to get a speed boost.
Since DX10 you've not seen as many attacks on image quality except for the bs concerning the DX 10.1 of a certain game, nvidia smashed that like the hammer of Thor. But yeah as far as Microsoft are concerned they don't want to see any crap from ATI, nvidia or whoever.
So nope it's unlikely for nvidia to cheat, at least directly.
