Hexus has posted an editiorial on the ATI scandal.



This is a follow-up to my review of the ATI Radeon I did a few weeks back here at Hexus. At the time I bought the card, I was aware that it was OEM, but just assumed that it would be the same card as all the review sites got, minus the fancy packaging. Only while doing the review and trying out Powerstrip did I discover the 166 core/mem speed, not the 183 speed that the 64 meg retail cards have. Back at the time, I thought I just hadn´t done my homework properly beforehand and glumly accepted the lower spec card. Over the following few weeks, I did some trawling round messageboards and picked up on the articles HardOCP did on the subject. There are a LOT of people out there like myself who had no reasonable way of knowing beforehand that they were going to get a slower card.
