Tom's Hardware: NVIDIA and ATi: Game Over

classic_leon · Oct 12, 2004, 07:06 AM

"Today, NVIDIA is launching its GeForce 6200. We were told of the launch at the last minute with only a few days to prepare and to deal with the usual last minute changes that follow these rushed launches. This has happened four or five times in the past year. It's always the same, with no time to do thorough testing, constant last minute changes, and a rush to print. If we were cynical, we'd have to think that the companies involved do not want us to have time to do thorough testing.

Often the product's drivers are not ready, special editions or in beta stage and testers are struggling to keep up with last minute updates. Almost every instance results in what we now believe to be a disservice to the consumer."

The editor of mydrivers.com comments that it's the time to stop to have a rest for them. Though they launch the new products so rapidly for competition, it's not worthy and advocated to get new products only for nice views or bright from world market. Because of it is derelict of duty to journalism, readers, and customers.
