    Question

    I believe it was at www.the-ctrl-alt-del.com that I read an article that said they should be out by the middle of September. Try browsing over the video card reviews on that site. I am pretty sure that's where I read it.

    This was the aricle I was thinking of.....This is really quite informative concerning the benchmarking of the Det 4's...

    Yes, well, there must have been a miscommunication between Anand et al, because a) that's not what nVidia did, and b) that's not really what they had planned. The whole reason why the detonators were "announced" was to disturb the Radeon 8500 review....

    Yea, there is definitely some wierd stuff going on here. If you read the toms hardware article, they are talking about the Det 4's being a Radeon 8500 spoiler. But the AnandTech article doesn't make much reference to the driver being the Radeon 8500 spoiler, but sticks more to the technical specs of the drivers. But BOTH articles do say that the driver was supposed to be coming out in the next week or two (Articles were published 8/13 and 8/14)...So WHERE are the damn drivers!!!! I want my Detonator 4's!!!!!!!!
