IMO based on reading the article, the IQ & performance wasn't properly weighed out. When attempts were made to adjust video or color settings to the nvidia card to make it as good as ATI.

This is the last time I will dignify these questions with a response. This has already been answered in the thread (and in the article itself) and it was stated that
these are the settings ATI stated were the best. Obviously as they design the software and hardware then we would assume they would know, not yourself. Also if you feel this article wasn't "properly weighed out" then I suggest you perhaps test them yourself, publish it and post in here so I can see how you can improve on capturing raw data from the cards then analysing the raw pixel breakdown.

Should have been the first indication that ATI IQ is better.
|
Rather a sweeping statement isnt it? We mentioned that certain aspects of the IQ are better, but not all. I can therefore already assume you have either a: glanced over it or b: not bothered to correctly read the whole editorial.

The second is when the tweaked settings for the nvidia card had negative side effects should have also weighed heavily into the conclusion.
|
Why? they can be turned off and aren't the default out of the box settings.

When most people haven't the slightest clue on how to tweak those settings the nudge should have went to ATI.
|
Well I guess you just answered your own question. If people don't know how to tweak the settings, then the enhanced Nvidia settings which AREN'T default wouldnt be used.

So what that Nvidia offers playback with Aero, I have no use for it.
|
Well as difficult a concept as it might seem, you are just one person. Are we to start reviewing products and omitting bugs and issues because some people might not care? If this is a condemning point for you then I suggest you perhaps start frequenting another site which omits issues based on loyalties to specific manufacturers because DH always tells it like it is, regardless of the company involved.

The direction of this review is about IQ and performance not which offer more features.
|
Really? I wasn't aware you were in charge of handling editorials and the direction of the content on DriverHeaven, I thought that was my job.
This article was ascertaining IQ, however during this process if we find issues relating to the playback of this content we will mention it. It seems to me that quite honestly you have no interest in an unbiased article but are more concerned with the fact we should be ignoring issues, if they are relating to ATI or their products.

If ATI clearly demonstrates that the IQ and performance is better without playback using Aero it should have won with a cliff not stating that in your opinion it's a feature worth adding.
|
Well thats the point, it didn't. Quite what a cliff has to do with anything however .......
Incidentally if I see these same questions repeated again and again in this thread they will be removed. We have no time to be readdressing the same mindless questions which have already been answered in both the editorial and this thread.
