For some reason I actually bothered to read those URL's.  Still confirms what I originally said  - GFFX=not all that.  Didn't say it was slower than Radeon 9k7 Pro, just not that impressive considering that The GeforceFX STILL isnt available.
This supports my argument, allthough they use outdated benchmarks, the message is still the same, is it worth bothering?

You still havent proven that the GeforceFX is lots better than Rad9k7pro, and somehow, I doubt that you will.

What do you think of ATI's drivers for the radeon 9700?

(he quietly walks away....)

I have no opinion on ATI's drivers for the Radeon for the 9700, since I have never used them.  I have used a few ATI cards in the past, and the drivers were generally crap.  I will comment on the 9500/9700 drivers if I get a card, as I dont trust reviewers anyway.  My experience of Nvidia drivers has generally been good.  I am currently thinking about getting a Radeon 9500 Pro, but will not pay more than £120+VAT for one.  Its either going to be that, or a Geforce4 Ti 4200 8x (£99+VAT). I will also have to be convinced that their drivers are much better these days.

Hammer you look like a little kid trying to tell his classmates that a snowday is comming when its jun 1st and 90 degrees outside..

get a grip... you can tell everyone their the fool if/when the GFFX revives.... currently its a glorified dustbuster with sucky drivers and 10% overall lead...

Amen to that!

I've just realised what Hammer is doing.  Since he won't disagree with what I originally stated, he is just nitpicking and trying to win an argument.  I dont think the aim is to prove the GeforceFX is great, but more to prove that he is the greatest arguer on this board or is allways right, however to do that, he has to prove that the Geforce is great.
