Yepp, you should take the reviews on the internet with a big truckload of salt (swedish sating...donno if you have the same )

That means that you should never trust a review 100% until you seen it for your self, so guinny good job

Lastbilsflak? Nu överdriver du väl lite? =P

And he's right. But in some way, we have to trust the tests so we can know what to buy.
I hate the way graphic cards are benchmarked. It's a bad way of meshurement and it's easy to cheating, and that Nvidia has show ous the best.

When the comp that I ordered arrived to our local custom computer dealer, they ran tests to check if everything was fine before calling us to pick it up and they ran into a few defective 9700 pros. They had to go through 2 NEW ones until they could actually find a working one.. :bonce:

What kind of brand where the 9700?

nietzsche, I think he was talking about the manufacturer. There's several dealers of the ATI cards, such as OEM. Or, if it says RETAIL, that's the card from ATI itself.

Your forgiven.:hmph:

has anyone heard about the problems with 3dmark and 5900? thats really, really, shameful. But either way you wont be let down really. 9800 looks better though.

I don't know if you are talking about nVidia's cheating or technical problems, but I do know that the Radeon 9800 is currently on par with the GF FX 5900. Personally there is no way one is better than the other, they both have basically the same benchmark turn outs (except the FX is somewhat better at AA at higher resolutions), and I would be happy with either card. :sniper:
