Trident XP4 Reviewed
ceebABC writes "In a new review, the Trident XP4 got a nasty reception. Based on the tests, it sounds like Trident has got some work to do on the thing. Looks like this GPU is dead on arrival." Our last story on Trident mentioned them coming back from the dead. Maybe not.
That review
has really
great formating.
I just love
to read in
one thin
column. Or
maybe they just
have funky
formating for
IE?
The surprise isn't how often we make bad choices; the surprise is how seldom they defeat us.
This card rivals the ATI Raedon for the 'worst drivers in the industry' award?
... from the lack of posts. Don't you know we're oly interested in Microsoft's failed projects?
P.S.: Anyone else experiencing extreme sluggishness about /. today? Earlier, I've had articles loading in background tabs for more than a minute. o_o
P.S. Update (10 mins later)!: Ouch. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea, noting the above comment, to intoduce another step and try previewing before submitting. -_-
That was a pretty bad review.. Matrox tried to "clean up the floor with nVidia and ATI" too and failed. At least they made a better attempt than Trident.
I have a spare 2mb Trident in my P-75 that may compete with the XP4...
PR: It has come to our attention that many of our customers and critics are not satisfied with the review of our product as we previously shipped to them and received with deafed ears. The staff of www.extremetech.com have mis-interpreted Trident's XP4 product and have mis-applied our technology. In our initial PR Announcment of the XP4, we were received by listeners that our product will whipe-out the competition. Despite our best efforts to contact the staff of www.extremetech.com before they released the results, we have received much criticism and have now been given opportunity to make clear our statements. Our initial PR statment confirms that our product was not intended to whipe-out the competition; we meant that the XP4 will whipe the ass of our competitors. We understand the definite language barrier of our PR staff and the general international public. Over the past 6 months, Trident has become one of the greatest suppliers of industrial sand paper and the most abrasive toilette paper in the history of indoor plumbing of developed nations. The Trident XP4 is intended to provide the most dis-comfort in our competitors as its only use is to whipe their ass in the most abrasive fassion possible. We thankyou for your concern and please feel free to purchase more of Trident's innovative products.
I thought this information should be re-layed to the slashdot community as it clears-up much of the incorrectly perceived statements. You know what happens with the SNAFU theorom these days...

Yeah, so the Trident XP4 sucks. Well, what do you expect from a company that is mainly known for making sugarless chewing gum...
but then again, drivers can be tweaked to skew benchmarks. Trust review sites...
but then again, all the review sites are bought and paid for by various vendors with special interests. Trust your parents.
Oh god... my dad is John Ashcroft... NEVERMIND...
