Once again no one is forced to use only ATI cards your statement would hold true in a situation where the have not's don't have means to obtain.
This is not a situation of the poor being jealous of the rich & that the poor would do the same as the rich if they were rich themselves.
It maybe because they are not impressed with Physx is to why they bought that ATI card instead of the NV card & they have a right to say its not worth it.
If i choose a Bentley over a Rolls-Royce because i didn't think the Rolls-Royce was worth it then i still have a right to say so & will not accept someone telling me that the only reason why i don't think the Rolls-Royce is worthy it because i don't have one as if i couldn't of had one if i wished.
The line of thought of only because you don't have one is extremely shallow as if we all own things that we think are not worth it just so we can say its not worth it without looking like its only because we dont have it.
I will place an order for a 580 & leave it in the box just so it gives me the right in some peoples eyes to criticise it.
You are kidding yourself on if you think that most Ati users would still rubbish fisx if they had access to it! If it was the other way about, I have NO DOUBT it would be the Nvidia crowd rubbishing it with the Ati mob saying it's fantastic!
As I have tried to point out before, it takes about 10 minutes maximum to set up, very straight forward to do. It's not costing the op anything to try it to find out for himself is it?
By no means am I claiming that fisx is the dogs danglies, but it is an option I chose to have. The smug look on my face is priceless when my console mates watch me play the likes of Metro, Batman or Mafia2 and show them what a real toy can do!
Is that not the point of having a PC in the first place? It's up to you what goes in and if you don't like something about it, rip it out and get a new shiny bit.
In case anybody is wondering, I use a 5870+9800gt just now, but when it's time for me to get a new card, I will be going for best bang for buck. I do not care about brand loyalty as they sure as hell don't care about us they just wan't your cash!
