New rumor about ATI Southern Islands

[LightSpeed]

Yep, Fermi is a failure when it's leading the 5000 series in most gaming benchmarks (especially DX11), and destroying the FirePro series in professional applications..

Not to mention xtreme high resolution gaming, and 3D gaming where again, Nvidia dominates ATI

In xtreme high resolution gaming, I wouldnt say Nvidia dominates ATI, but leads them. That is, at the expense of massive power consumption.

Dominates is a strong word

You said it, not me

Yeah, I forgot to add the driver part. But still, the conclusion i made is unchanged. Nv features + better driver is outweighed by a faster + less power hungry card to most people.

From what I hear, the ATI driver team has no excuse to be poor, they have enough people and resources. I gotta say they do bring about minor performance boosts recently and have started to fix stuff more frequently => general improvement. But why break stuff they already fix? It completely baffles me
