As I was reading Sharky's review of the TNT2 I was really trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe it was just that TNT2 was all that. However, as I read through it it became more and more obvious that they weren't even trying to hide the fact that there was some MAJOR bias going on. First of all they did not get an evaluation card to test, it seems Diamond came over and demo'd the card. This makes all numbers and all stability claims in-valid. The foresaken numbers are bogus because V2 SLI is already running the game in the 100's. What really got me was the little touches in the review, like when comparing benchmarks that showed the V3 to be faster, Sharky called them less significant demos. IMHO, the foresaken nubers are what is insignificant. One thing that really puzzles me, unless Diamond is SO much better than Creative Labs, why did the Creative product measure up so less??? Was Tom's review based on a controlled test to or did he have a Diamond card to play around with to his hearts content? Casey "V3 just got even faster" K
