what :eek: you can't, if you go i shall switch of this retched internet for good
it's a good job i don't have the banstick to hand or i'd be going through that thread like a fire through a forest,all i'm going to say is the people responsible are jerks that is all i'm saying before censored.gif comes out :mad::shadedshu
 
I'm not sure what happened here, but it's very shocking and disappointing that your going, I'm curious what people could have really said in a review thread that gave concrete info...
 
You can't be serious. :( TPU's reveiws are one of the main reasons for even showing up. There was nothing wrong with the fermi review. Just stay man.!!!!!!!
 
fastest growing thread I have ever seen, if this don't tell you to stay nothing will....... Stay!
 
In the spirit of TPU, I think I will wait too see if the site changes hands and then what the real world benchmarks and performances level show. ;)

Because of the ATI drivers.

People don't realize that Wizz already reviewed them like months ago, and of course it had to be older driver compare to now, but those noobs kept asking for 10.3 drivers. If they don't like the review read it somewhere else!

W1zzard, you will be missed.

All the luck on your future ventures.
 
stupid trolls, they should just stay under there bridge. man wizz honeslty your reviews are the only ones i trust cause i know your not biased, hope you stay around brah, or you will be missed
 
techpowerup IS my homepage because it has all the great news and trust worthy reviews. hey! i suggest what vgas to buy according to your reviews!

i can only hope it will stay like that.
 
I guess they were right when they said dumbledore dies :/
 
I don't agree that you leaving is for the best even in the long run for TPU, but if it's best for you then it should be done. I don't know what drama surrounded the review, it also doesn't seem to be out of line with leaked slides, pre-release performance info, or other reviews.


You'll be missed.

Did this have anything to with W1zzard's decision? Just asking.:confused:

Quoted From Legit Reviews:

We gave the build the good old college try, but we were still sitting around 86C in GPU-Z when we tried it out today. We gave our feedback to NVIDIA and several hours later they got back to us with this:

""Upon low-level examination of the GPU-Z application, we have determined that it is not using our NVAPI for all temperature/fan control calls, but is instead banging registers directly. This is interfering with our fan control and causing boards to crash when GPU-Z is run in the background. We need GPU-Z to use NVAPI to avoid these conflicts..."- NVIDIA

We have had random crashes with the GeForce GTX 480 graphics card while running GPU-Z in the background, so it's great that the issue has been identified and solved. We expect a new version of GPU-Z to be available soon that should address all issues. NVIDIA also thought that GPU-Z might be the root cause of the fan anomalies, but when we fired up the system from a cold boot and opened just MSI AfterBurner, we found the GPU to be idling at around 84C, which is again a tad too hot for our tastes."

nope that's unrelated. nvidia contacted me this morning describing the problem, fix is pretty much complete, just needs some testing, then it gets released

W1zz is an icon in my book.

The best damn tech site out there and I'm glad as hell to be part in it all. He's built a great community, and seeing him gone is really a shame.:cry:

Thank You W1zz for this site.:toast:

msi afterburner was reading the temps no differently than gpuz afaik.

80% of the time im online Im at tpu... selfishly I hope it doesnt change but unselfishly I hope you know what you started has given alot of people a place to meet and exchange thoughts.. we've benched together, gamed together, sold our pc shit to each other and have learned alot from the knowledge of others here.

I'm glad I was able to experience this site the way it is and i hope it always stays this way because of the people who belong to it.

thanks for the good times. :rockout:

Yes :twitch:
 
The only thing I ask of you is that you put the site into good hands, someone who knows what they're doing and keeps everything the same.
 
So W1zzard will everyone see you around doing other things? Is this it? The last time we ever see you around on the internet? I guess I'm asking if we should expect to see you around being a normal user?
 
Hope life gives you what you want and things go your way in the future. Thanks for giving us the Tech Site of the Internet and all the goodies inside. Take Care. :toast::respect::cry:
