Hold the phone I just caught this other post you made. Did you think I was talking to you?

There is no "E" at all... HAHAHA


I am really confused about you tact as far as trying to join Ti. It took me forever to join being nice to everyone. I could only imagine how long it would take if I decided to blast off at everyone like they are old friends that are used to it. Well thats my 3 cents worth anyway.

Calm down dude, I was trying to be funny when I made *THAT* particular post...

I'm not really trying to be an asshole to anyone, I just felt slighted, so I went on a bit of a rant...


The Ti guys I've been playing against on the server, they know how I mean to come across...

I'm chilled now... :)
Everyone may piss in the pool but you have to be extra mean to do it from the high diving board.

Hey Ace, do you go to the first post and keep going from then on even after you've read through it? Didn't think so :roll:

And there's just a wee problem....I don't have 2000 posts yet...

Back at ya.

rob[GL] wrote:I'm not trying to be an asshole, but you're denying strait proof... AOE 3 is heavily CPU dependant? So what does that have to do with this situation?

You haven't offered any proof... and CPU power is pretty important in ANY benchmark...


rob[GL] wrote:You have; ONE PROCESSOR, AND ONE BOARD, AND ONE HDD, AND ONE SET OF RAM, and the only thing you change is the video card... Magically when you pop in the ATi card, you get 37% increase... What does CPU have to do with anything? The cpu stayed the same, only the video card changed...

That's the lamest statement ever. MOBO chipset has everything to do with how the numbers change between cards. Some work better on different bridges... didn't you know that? And let's not get into how the same CPU can differ results based on how it talks to the GPU through the chipset.

rob[GL] wrote:The Catalyst 6.3's are amazing drivers, and while they had problems releasing drivers in the past, they have come a long way...

Amazing? Because you said it?

rob[GL] wrote:Every graphics card manufacturer has been caught putting driver cheats in to optimize benchmarks, not just ATi... What about Nvidia's not rendering shadows?

Well I wasn't talking about driver cheats at all... and I get plenty of shadows... turns out ATI has struggled with holding framerates across driver versions for years. I've talked with the guys in Markham about drivers since 8500/9800... they especially lose frames in ports (you try to run a decent 3D Direct Render platform on ATI in linux)

rob[GL] wrote:Dude, whatever, you're obviously very set in your ways... Enjoy your overpriced underpowered hardware.

um... lets keep looking...

rob[GL] wrote:And *IF* you cared enough, you *WOULD* check the links yourself... You obviously are just an Nvidia user, so you don't want to see the evidence...

Aren't you an ATI user?

Sounds like someone needs to look in the mirror before name calling...

For the record I own 3 different generations of NVidia cards and 4 ATI generations. I've used them in almost every Windows version and 2 generations of Linux kernels. I don't give a crap about hardware. Software is the key. You'll never find hardware thats better for the money for more then one or two purposes. They all have their place.

But anyway, thanks for the fanboy flamewar... I can't remember putting this much energy into something so ridiculous in months.

Sometimes you just gotta light the match ;)
