ati cheating in crysis benchmark?

[GoldenTiger]

The responses in this thread crack me up. If the roles were reversed, I am sure the responses would be FAR different. Just shows how long so many here have been smoking the good stuff.

Also, the substitution of FP16 render targets by ATI has been confirmed in quite a few games. DoW 2, NFS: Shift and a few others are the most obvious candidates.

Well said... I too love how because it's ATI no one cares, but if nVidia did this the SAME people would be grilling them and flaming nV to cinders.

I think you may need eye glasses.

Actually I noticed poor AF with noticeable lines between texture filtering areas in some games I played as well... I chalked it up to just being an ATI/nV difference when I had my 5870, now I guess we know they were cheating to gain some extra performance, eh?

I don't have a brand preference, but I do notice a ton of ATI lovin in this xtreme oven. I think most fanboyism stems from the fact that a lot of people tend to love what they just bought or want, and ATI cards were standing on top of the mountain for the past six months.

Definitely... normally people would clamor over the gains a GTX 480 brings over the 5870, but because the 5870 is the "cool kid" in town, everyone rushes to slam the other brand's solutions.
