Benchmarks or F off nvidia. The loyal customers have been waiting too long, if they have working cards, bench those mothers and share the love, pictures don't mean much. I couldn't care less if it was pink, as long as it performs

I have 2 5870s & a GTX 295.

Although the 5870 benches great in 3DMark Vantage, it has regular framerate drops in many of the games I play, such as Red Faction Guerilla & Grand Theft Auto 4.

Both the HIS brand & the Gigabyte brand performed identically. While games like Batman:Arkham Asylum & Left 4 Dead played fine, open world games seem to struggle to maintain a decent framerate while driving around at high speeds.

Dirt 2, on the other hand, admittedly looks better in DirectX 11, & plays smoothly. Any framerate difference between that & my 295 is imperceptible to my eyes.

Every Nvidia card I've owned in the past year (GTX 260, 285, & 295) worked silky smooth in every game I played, with the exception of Quad SLI with the 295s.

The best set up I had was 2 GTX 285s in SLI. You'd probably get similar results with 2 GTX 260s, but I like the full gig of RAM vs the 896mb.

Sorry to be so long winded. My point is that you're much better off waiting until both have been out several months to buy either of them.

Let the early adopting morons like me play guinea pig, & save yourself a few bucks.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
