I'd rather take 30 more fps rather than 1000 more 3DMarks, thank you very much

ITS CM TIME!!!!
First of all as a favor to me, leave Kyle and Brent out of this. This has nothing to do with them. Period
Secondly I am a little upset tonight so I wont say much until tomorrow.
Third I guarantee you that I will ask for an investigation for optimized drivers tomorrow such that has never happened in ATI's history. I am prepared to put a hold on all new features I have in the pipeline so our top engineers can see how much we can optmize by not rendering the whole scene. I am guessing we can gain 25% at this point.
Fourth I am not commiting to do these optimizations ever in a released driver but I think its time for apples to apples comparison.
Fifth I am sorry to hear you (the end consumers) so dissapointed in the state of the industry. I feel for you.
Sixth, you all have my personal guarantee that if you continue to support ATI the way you have so far, I will always be here to help out and be one of the boyz on the forums. (I hope that means something to at least some of you)]
Have a good night everyone and lets talk more tomorrow
Terry
