ATI 9700 what is the word?
« Reply #15 on: September 12, 2002, 08:45:56 PM »
Yeah I won't get it, you don't get that at the time I posted the link the message you are referring to did not exist.

Oh well, you looked silly for asking me if I read the entire thread... of which did not include the post you are referring to at the time I linked it. As for the cryptic writings, save 'em for other canadians.. I think they're the only ones who get it.

Morgoth, no flamewar here. I could care less, I just bought a GF4 because I needed to upgrade.. incidently from the same graphics card the orginal poster of this thread has. 9700 wasn't on the shelf. I didn't buy it. Grayarea wanted info on it, the only thing I saw regarding it was the above link I posted.

Obviously this was a bad move on my part, if I find anything relevant to a question someone is asking, I shouldn't post it at all.. and should instead let them wallow in their own decisions because no one else would answer their question or give them any relevant info and was too busy trying to give the guy with the only info in that thread a hard time. I should also not offer any of my personal experiences with other new cards, because this will naturally make me a fan boy... despite I've had a nvidia powered card for exactly... one day.

Someone got a 3dmark score of 25,000 some with an overclocked p4 2.5 (up to 4ghz) and an overclocked 9700, using liquid nitrogen.

You could probably find more info on the official site.

so I guess then that this
""Apparently not Pongo, kind of hard to read posts that don't exist.
"
should be interpreted as
"there was no retraction before, but I see it now"
not
"the retraction does not exist"

You should be more clear. your squadmates and I assumed the latter.

Big deal.. don't, didn't... it is moot, the posts were of no digital form at the time of my original post.. which you questioned what I had read or not...

Grayarea, go for the 9700 Pro.
Its FSAA should be as good as the Voodoo5 but about 10x faster, plus you will be able to run it at much higher resolution, with Anisotropic filtering enabled; the Geforce 4 lags with Ani filter.
There are new drivers out for the Radeon and they seem to be improving. The card will last.

All in all, the 9700 spanks the Geforce 4 around and leaves it in the dust like poor Pongo and his pathetic attempts at flaming random people for attention.

Animal.. pathetic like flaming a veteran accusing him of cowardice because he didnt like your favorite general.(whom he accutally served with)?

pathetic like using a big word in the wrong way for a whole thread and not admitting you dont know what it means?


Anyway. I didnt flame you till you flamed a veteran and called him a coward.
Did you do that for attention animal? your probably familier with enough psyc text books to evaluate that for yourself.

no attention seeking in this thread. just contributing to the thread by reading his link...and pointing out an anomoly with his interpretation of it. And it turns out most aggree that  my interretation was correct..how is that a flame?
Am I not allowed to say hes wrong without it being a flame. I flamed him a little cause even after that he tried to say I was wrong. He says that I dont understand time. at the time he responded to me that the retraction didnt exist it did..what part of time do I not understand.
mountains of mole hills... certainly.
He did look silly trying to insist he had never made a mistake...we all make mistakes.. I do..you usually do..

Word to your mothers, boys :D

I pulled the trigger on that ATI card. It was just delivered to me at work. Soon, I will know the truth...

Really though, I don't expect a whole lot with my cpu at 1.6 ghz.

Now I hear the Hammer is delayed. I'm going to wait for that to come out to upgrade, so I  won't be able to give this card a workout until early next year.

Pongo, it's obvious you still don't get it.

That post, the one you asked if I had read, did not exist at the time I made my original post here.

You asked me if I read it, I couldn't read it if it didn't exist.

You still have problems grasping this, and were the one who initiated my second response... which you interpreted as a flame.

Wasn't really one, you continued to flame me. But hey, if you count one person as "most"... then go right on ahead, it's quite obvious that not only do you not understand time but you don't understand math either.. 1 is not most... it's only 1. Just like how 8 minutes difference in posts means one existed before the other, and thusly could not be read.

Not hard to understand, you still can't grasp it... let me know, I can send you the number for hooked on phonics.

Alright boys, I want a nice clean fight.
Pongo, get rid of the 2 rolls of quarters you have in your gloves. AKSWulfe, drop that anvil. You don't even look like Wily Coyote so don't go Acme on anyone.
No head butting, ankle biting, hair pulling, or urinating on your opponent. At the bell, return to your corners.
