   this just shows that Nvidia is scared of the competition and is really keen on showing what they improved on the NV40

   In all of that, they have failed to mention that ATi's X800 series owns nVidia's 6800 series.

   25 May 2004 ~ 8:45pm RADA So I guess you could also look at this as them saying
   
   ATi's New "Last-Years" Hardware and Software is still :Pwned:us on our New "This-Years"Hardware and Software!

   25 May 2004 ~ 11:25pm Zero1 lol its just a marketing thingy ashuring their blind consumers that their shiz is the best lol
   
   It's really funny that their talking about some trivial issues Drivers riiiiight and theirs are the best lol

   26 May 2004 ~ 3:05am TheSmJ Have the NV40 based cards even been released yet?
   
   I wont judge this until both cards are on the shelf.

   26 May 2004 ~ 3:18am Outcast-Jedi Frankly, i think nVidia slides are kind of 'low-class', with lots of insulting phases and words, for such big worldwide coperation

   26 May 2004 ~ 3:23am Geeky1 nVidia has, time and time again, displayed very little class in their ads, their presentations, their software (ATi may cheat too, but they only did it once), etc. This is yet another reason why I have very little respect for them as a company.

   26 May 2004 ~ 11:19am Shorty Anyone else think this looks really suspicious??
   
   Take a look through the rest of the "slides".. and spot the spelling mistakes... etc...

   Yep, that was my first thought. Hence:
   
   "Check out one of the apparent slide images below."
   
   But do you really think Nvidia are incapable of spelling errors?

    can i see this internal document?

    26 May 2004 ~ 11:46pm pseudonym Geeeeeee, its SOOOOOOO difficult to put together a powerpoint slide.

    26 May 2004 ~ 11:54pm Thrax Apparently no one reads [H]ard|OCP here.
    
    Kyle called nVidia's front office, and the leaked document was admitted to.

    26 May 2004 ~ 11:58pm Geeky1 Damnit Thrax, you beat me.

    pseudonym: Sure, making .ppt slides is easy, but why go to all that effort when nVidia has already done it for you?
14. 
    27 May 2004 ~ 10:16am MediaMan I called ATI 2 days ago on this. NVIDIA is indeed playing dirty pool. While the powerpoint slides may or may not be actually from NVIDIA...they do reflect what NVIDIA has been admittedly saying.
    
    NVIDIA has not yet responded to my "helloooooooo?"
15. 
    27 May 2004 ~ 10:42am Jengo haha, i just seen all of the slides, those are hilarious.
    
    they do point out alot of ATI's problems, but they do seem alittle... hmm... how can i say? Quickly made...

    27 May 2004 ~ 10:46am Thrax The "Problems" aren't really problems.
    
    It's nVidia being pissed off because Pixel Shader 3 can't save them from ATI.
17. 
    27 May 2004 ~ 11:09am MediaMan It's verified that NVIDIA have been making some of those statements verbally. Read between the lines and Thrax nails it. Jen Hsun's defensiveness on PS 3.0 on the analyst call and that means NVIDIA is on the defence.

    27 May 2004 ~ 11:15am Spinner If both companies put as much effort into making the hardware as they do slagging each other off, I imagine they both would have nailed a few things squarely on the head by now.

    27 May 2004 ~ 8:34pm Zero1 What I dont understand is why nVida has to bad mouth Ati instead of spending the time and money bad mouthing Ati they could be improving their cards you know?
20. 
    27 May 2004 ~ 8:35pm Geeky1 Because apparently, it is easier to make powerpoint slides than it is to design a decent gpu.
21. 
    27 May 2004 ~ 8:48pm Jengo ATi isnt innocent on the badmouthing you know.
22. 
    27 May 2004 ~ 11:32pm Geeky1 No, actually I don't know that. I do know that they're not innocent when it comes to cheating, but ATi has only cheated (been caught at it, anyhow) once. nVidia gets caught on almost every single driver update, it seems like.
