Gee, thanks for the insight. Now, if you're so bored with the gpu release, why are you posting or even reading about it? Must not be too boring, or are you just trolling for responses?

Just like microstutter was an issue a couple people brought up, then everyone started believing microstutter as a huge multi-GPU issue, when most people didn't even know what microstutter was! People started throwing graphs out there and videos claiming things were microstutter, when they clearly weren't. Heck, I even heard people on this very forum claim to have microstutter in a single GPU

Stutter, as per definition, means that something is not constant. So, its totally possible for a single gpu to have MS as long as the frames it outputs are not evenly distributed among time, causing effectively microstuttering.

The problem is that reviews tend to only focus on what happens from second to second without getting into it at all, and then we start with problems because I just don't wanna have a 20% more average frames if those aren't even, because the gaming perception will suffer, a lot.

I took my time to carefully read the entire Hardware Canucks review and I must congratulate them on one of the best reviews I have read as of yet. Everything is very clear and open and their methods were concerned to mimic real gaming as much as possible with their choice of using fraps on 3 run average instead of going lazy on timed demos which sometimes dont bring everything on the table.
Loved your review and loved these radeons, and I was especially shocked to see the massive improvement on MIN frame rate which ao many complained about with cypress. Also very impressed to see 6850 matching or beating gtx460 1gb accross the board.

thanks!

Yup, their reviews keep improving everytime a new product launches, to the point its one of the only webs I care to look at.

Keep it up.
