I've always bought hardware for specific tasks. In this case ATI for
gaming graphics cards and Hauppage for TV cards. I expect a card that
claims to do several things to be weak on at least a couple of them.

As gaming cards ATI have been excellent for me for several years and
I've never had more than minor niggles (soon sorted) with their drivers
(including with CCC).

And the 'control centre crew' please.....

I 2nd that motion... At the very least, I hope we'll see better driver
support as a result of this takeover.

I can't imagine AMD's standards being so lacking as ATI's.



It seem obvious that the company has "lost it's way" and there will
value
in buying
the company and stripping out the wasters who appear to have
taken control of it.

Wow. You guys are delusional.

Regardless of how unhappy you are with your ATI experience, you
shouldn't
let your hissy fit distort your perception to some deluded reality where
ATI is on the verge of collapse and merely produces crap. At that point
you start to sound ridiculous and lose credibility.

The fact of the matter is that ATI does produce excellent hardware and,
while many will debate this, excellent drivers. Some of ATI's other
software including the driver GUI (CCC) and mmc could definitely use
work,
but this is no means automatically is on it's way out, or in your words,
"lost its way".

The bias is rampant in here.


The critism is aimed at their sales marketing and customer support.
I won't buy one of thir cards untill I can figure out what I am buying,


****.......U got problems arse hole!!!!If u dont know what u buying
ofcourse.


and I won't be doing that via their site (cos its shyte).


No.We normally get off our arse's and go to stores.

Attention all whiners:

Attention all whiners...

ATi has just annouced that it's brand name will now be exclusively applied
to a new line of high tech washing machines.

All future support for existing ATi 3D hardware will be taken over by Nvidia
for a small one time fee from the end-user.

Thank you. That is all.

Nothing to see here, move along.
