nvidia must not have liked th review ... the last thing they need is bad reviews on a super expensive heat dump of a card with bad drivers ... hmmm ... poor nvidia

The vantage scores weren't too bad 10640 if i remember correctly and the reviewer said the gap increased between it and the other cards under the extreme setting

I read most of it but my memory is pretty poor

I think the Crysis bench was 31fps 1900 x 1200, very high settings...but I may be wrong

why did hey take it down??? Tweaktown is usually first off the bat with NDA breaking and realistic reviews, a la 8800GTS 512

anyways, i think this is the reason why nVidia was milking us so much for that blasted G80/G92 affair, and also not saying much about the GT 200 cards

all talk, no walk...
