If someone asked me to summarize W1z with one sentence, it would be " A true technological pioneer" . I can only put one other person in the same category - Anand Lal Shimpi. I don't want to be disrespectful to all the hard working engineers at Intel, Amd, Ati or Nvidia but it's people like W1z and Anand that bring down technology to us - the common folks, and try to explain it in an understandable manner. I feel enlightened every time after reading an article of theirs.

Before I found out about Atitools and Gpu-Z graphic card overclocking was like black magic to me( as to everybody else back then I'm sure). They may not have been the first tools for the job but they sure were the most user friendly and were always up to the task.

Im actually willing to believe this. You have done an amazing job with this site. I have been a rare but constant visitor for 6 years (WTF!?) and Ive seen it go from modding 9800SE forum ,visiting ABIT factories :) to what it is now a great news source and a forum with masses!

Why would any of you be surprised with him "giving" the site away to another company ? It's prolly worth a nice piece of cash and after all life is life.

On the other hand it would still be a bit sad because the site would become commercial and I think it would never be the same TPU and it could eventually go the way 3dgamers.com did.

Happy holidays :)

warup89so wait....Fermi started all of this? damn that Fermi chip surely is FAIL, i mean its even affecting TPU.

-That sucks though, i hope Wizzard is not leaving just because of this one review, but instead of a long awaited realization; then I'll understand.

I think Fermi was just the Flamethrower that burned the bridge. He seems to have been considering this for a little while now.

For me is one of the worst days on net this year. I still can't believe he's leaving but in the same time I understand him perfectly.
Sometime too much is too much even when you're doing something from passion.

As for morons/trolls/whatever bugs they are that managed to fill W1zzard's glass I can't say anything decent I just hope that they'll disappear in their holes but unfortunately they won't. That's "modern" net and big forums. Usually they must be squashed with a ban but others will replace them. We have a word here: Stupid's mother is always pregnant.

Thank you W1zzard for all you've done and I hope that you'll find your way and peace outside TPU.
God bless you, you're one of a kind.

I hope it's a joke... :(

I really don't want you to leave like all the rest also said. But you gave so much to TPU W1zzard, to be honest it isn't fair that the TPU community continues to demand more from you.
You're one of the top hardware gurus, you got so much more potential which you can tap once free from babysitting a website...
You're a great guy who always gave so much help, I will never forget the help you gave me through pm's when I was getting my laptop from Germany.

What I hope is that you're not leaving just because of those 4 or 5 ungrateful idiots who crapped over your fermi review. That just wouldn't be fair to you heck it's tantamount to bullying... :(

rumor is that nvidia is sueing wizz for screwing with the benchmark numbers after being bribed by ATI.

I know you dont want that info out there wizz, but i want everyone to know that you dont do this for yourself but for the good of TPU and the hardcore ATI fanbase

What?

DanishDevilWhat?

I know right..... :confused:

Sounds plausible with how tech companies operate these days. Everybody is guilty until proven innocent thanks to lawyers powered by deep pockets.

let's keep the rumor-mill shut down for now. We don't need it. Nor do we want it.

I was saying "What?" as in, you're nuts for thinking that W1zzard would do such a thing.

Nucking Futs, even...

it explains why fermi got such bad reviews and why wizz is gonna work for ATI now ( if you guys didnt get the hint he is working for a different company now )

thats your second one today whos awesome? your awesome!

That seriously sucks....

I have been following you for years, even though I don't comment often. I visit your site at least 4-5 times a week and prefer your reviews to other tech sites. Love the way you test at specific resolutions, the graphs are easy to read and absorb.

I respect your decision to move on, but am sad that a few assholes pushed you to do this.

I hope that you change your mind but if not good luck, you will be missed....

Lets respect W1zz's request and keep the drama down okay?

I kinda understand his reason for leaving, reviewing is hard even more when you have dead lines. He reviews a very large variety of games at different settings, all of that takes a lot of time, and after you post you hard work for the world to see and then you get sh1t on???????


-i personally would be pissed too.

If its true I really hope the company that take over isn't something like asus or something because then im not stayin, too much drama on those kinds of forums.

no plz no grills now

Paintfaceit explains why fermi got such bad reviews and why wizz is gonna work for ATI now ( if you guys didnt get the hint he is working for a different company now )

Hmmm are you trolling? :laugh:

What is your source sir? Got a link for us perhaps?

And I just discovered "The God Particle"

I think this is the drama bullshit W1zz was talking about.

that and for some reason companys like to drape their site is flash and other BS and make them incredably hard to navigate. then you get a 404 thats like

"lol were did you want to go dude? theirs nothin here!!"

Hehe, guys.... uhm guys.... like uhmm.... thats aprils fools right?... i mean cmon guys.... WTF... OMG, no way, pls don't....
