[H]ard|OCP reams ATi about CrossFire

pr0digal jenius · Oct 4, 2005, 06:47 PM

There has been a lot of hoopla about ATI and their CrossFire master cards lately, and I figured I would drop my 2 cents about all of this. Let me start by saying that we checked today with one of the Nets largest online computer parts retailers and they explained to me that they did not anticipate having stock on ATI CrossFire Master cards till November. Now keep in mind this is a mere 5 to 6 (depending how you count) MONTHS after their initial introduction of the product back in May...of this year.

Instead of waxing on for pages, I am going to cut to the chase and say what everyone is thinking and what many of us in the technology press are feeling.

"1. ATI, HardOCP is not your personal PR bitch, so don't treat us like one again. You're on thin ice and you should be ashamed of your actions this year. We at HardOCP don't want to be a mouthpiece for vaporware in order to keep your stock price up. So from now on, if it is not the real deal, just keep it to yourself."

ouch.
wow, can't say that I blame him, it is pretty rediculous, I do hope they get their shit together though, I do like their cards. I just bought myself a 7800gtx and and sli mobo, so as long as nVidia stay strong, I'm grinnin'

So where is that thing that you're quoting vikingod, is it under the crossfire review? because I don't see it anywhere.
