No, you didn't.  You just showed that your don't know the difference between "coming out" which is generally applied to gays, lesbians, debutants and the like and "out now" which is generally understood as "available", typically for purchase.

I just love these guys who can't admit they are wrong. You made a friggin mistake, say "woops!" and move on! Not you, you have to try to defend a losing position and make yourself look like a bigger idiot. Good luck with that !

I guess you didn't get the memo.  TheZohan is never wrong.

The suggestions are that this will still lag behind the 295 in full weather situations (FSX).

I think "out now!" implies "available for purchase", much more strongly than "in existence even though you can't get one at this time"

Just my opinion.

Another opinion - it's a fast card that is intended only for a small customer base of extreme hardware enthusiasts.  It will never drop in price and it will not be produced in huge numbers.  AMD will not time the release of faster cards in order to squeeze more sales out of this particular card either...  As soon as a faster card is available for sale, this one will go out of production.

A lot of this is just marketing wars.  AMD knows NVidia will not have anything really new until February/March and so they are going to pump out as many new models as they can during that time.  It gets them more market attention and gets people antsy waiting for NVidia.

Expect two more new cards from AMD/ATI before NVidia gets thier next gen product out the door.  Even if they are paper launches, it serves its purpose.

NVidia is getting nervous about Fermi.  Seems it may not be able to actually manufacture the chip without it costing about a grand each due to the size of the die and the yeilds.  AMD/ATI knows it and they are going to do whatever it takes to exploit this to thier advantage. 

It's just business as usual in the video card wars.

Yes ... but apparently, some didn't get the memo and didn't attend the meeting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR45ja_fNzU).     :D :bolt:

Great...
    another flamed up thread where someone post about anything at all and our loyal
community jumps in to dump crap all over him.

   Hooray for the context police.
