One Last Question...

Congratulations! If you made it this far, we are pretty sure you are NOT an NVIDIA lawyer, or from ATI. Have a beer on us.

We have just one more question for you... Do you know what day it is today?

Yes, my friend, it's April 1st. Adrian's uncle was born on this day, but it's really more commonly known as April Fool's Day.

Unfortunately, there is no secret page where you can buy cheap NVIDIA cards. How we wish it were true though. Graphics cards are so very expensive.

The good news is that there is no such bug in the vertex shader of the G80. So, if you are an owner of GeForce 8800 GTX/GTS cards, you can relax on that count. Your oh-so-expensive graphics cards are not crippled in any way.

But if you are one of those who were, just moments ago, feeling vindicated that it was the card that caused your gaming skills to suffer, we are sorry to bust your chops but as they say, don't blame the tool, blame the user.

Why Two Editorials?

Well, we couldn't decide which joke to go with. The NVIDIA editorial was more serious and more likely to fool more people, thanks to the serious types of questions we used. But we felt that the AMD editorial had a truly funny series of question that's probably more in line with the spirit of April Fool's Day.

In the end, we decided to run with both. A serious one to try to catch as many people off-guard.. and a funny one just for laughs.

Before You Leave...

We hope you enjoyed the little soiree. Remember, it is the journey that counts, not the destination.

With that said, you should be proud of your achievement. After all, you are one of the few who have taken the effort to get to this end. For that, you should not go unrewarded.

Unfortunately, we have no rebates or special sales of ATI or NVIDIA graphics cards to offer you. But as a token of our appreciation for your participation, we can offer you a discount on our online BIOS Optimization Guide subscriptions.

Normally, subscriptions go for £6 for 3 months and £12 for a full year. But you can now subscribe for only £5 for 3 months and £10 for a full year. Just use the coupon code 0104 when you register.

You can subscribe for as many years as you like.

We will adjust it manually on our end to reflect the subscription fees paid.
