I will be leaving TPU!
After all the drama in the comments section of our Fermi review, I realized that continuing with hardware reviews and this tech "scene" might not be what I want to do with my time in the future.
So I looked for options out of this mess, and found one, TPU will be operated by a different company in the near future, I will be leaving the site. But fear not, most of the staff will remain here, the site and forums will stay the same in the near future (months). However, I have no idea what's going to change in the long run but I'm sure it will be for the best.
Further info and a more detailed schedule will follow when I have a better idea what will happen with my software projects and other internals of the site.

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.
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 :)
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 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... :(
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
Sounds plausible with how tech companies operate these days. Everybody is guilty until proven innocent thanks to lawyers powered by deep pockets.
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....
Footman
-i personally would be pissed too.
What is your source sir? Got a link for us perhaps?
I think this is the drama bullshit W1zz was talking about.
"lol were did you want to go dude? theirs nothin here!!"
