Yet another useless ATI Chip with No Drivers

[Anonymous Coward]

Seriously, ATI Have GOT to hire someone who can write software. They release a new chip, the drivers suck, and eventually they'll just forget about it and release the next chip. ATI keeps screwing it's customers over with the promise of "new drivers are coming, seriously" but it always turns into "You need a new card, sorry"

So what?

[Anonymous Coward]

Who cares what Jon Carmack says? Doom 3 is going to be a bestseller for two weeks, after which the hype ends and the game will end up in the bargain bin at the local supermarket.

I so do hope Doom 3 flops...
