Whatever. I first visited them like 7 years ago and read hundreds of their articles, fact is that I saw them bashing and praising all kinds of companies over the years, sometimes they lean towards ATI, sometimes nVidia, sometimes AMD, sometimes Intel, all depending on the current market/performance situation. You can´t expect 100% objectivity in 100% of their articles, no website has that. Overall it´s a very objective site, though it can never hurt to get a second opinion from other tec sites, like the ones you´ve listed.

Well after seeing that chart an X700 Pro performed 640fps compared to the top cards at around 4300fps, and mine isn't even a Pro!!

What is the point of overclocking, gee, I might, with a bit of luck, push 650fps!! WOW, warp speed for sure!!:rotfl:
For some reason I think I will give overclocking a miss!
