Got to disagree there. How many years has it been going on and now they come clean when they have the problem largely fixed for single cards and a fix 4 months out for CFx?

I read an interview with Tom Peterson at NVIDIA the other day where he said they've been optimizing for smooth frame delivery for a couple years now. (likely why Scott Wasson at Tech Report looked into it in the first place)

So 2 years after their competitor did this, and a year and a half after the tech review sites started reporting on it, "they are "honest" and fixed it".

I think it would be "cooler" if they would have a. thought of it on their own like NVIDIA did b. at least started working on it a year and a half ago c. not released the "Never Settle" drivers which were widely reported to increase the problem.

I'm very used to SLi in my boxes and largely "it just works". CFx with 7970s was not that kind of experience for me so now I'm down to one 7970.

I'd say this to AMD:

I like your single card performance and am glad this is fixed.

I very much dislike NVIDIA charging $1000. for cards that depreciate very rapidly.

I'd be happy to go all AMD if they can get the 8000 series out the door for $700 or less. I'd buy at least two, if not three.
