Actually >>I<< posted that. You see, my name is Jonny and Dave did the review. See the names? I only knew this because I've already owned the card (the 8500 actually) for some time and are familiar with it's nuances.
This is an example of why most reviews (motherboards included) regardless fo the website should really just be used as a reference. You wouldn't believe how many motherboards get "rave reviews" that actually suck in real life because the person reviewing it is not using the product 24/7. Of course, when I write a review that pans a product because I deal with them on the thousands, and all of the otehr sites say the product is great, I get flamed. 
I personally thought Dave did a good job. Of course, I'm going to be a bit biased too.
