We don't have the word asshat in the UK but I think it's funny as fuck, which most sales people are to be honest.

The other classic is a camera store on a Saturday. Full og ginger twats who think that having more megapixels will make you into the next David Bailey and grow you a full 12 incher.

'CUNTING ASSHATS'!

I guess it could be worse and you were getting cold called about things you really really do not want to buy… nor have specified an interest in buying.

I'm away to move into a house I have just bought and am looking forward to still telling cold callers "…sorry, this is a rented property" as it stops them dead in their tracks

Its fucking rediculous, salesmen ARE real dick heads. Even at the fucking future shop. I dont do alot of game shopping there, but for software and audio systems. I know what I want, I've done my research, but they try to con you into buying something else you DO NOT need. Although theres only one guy at the future shop I go to that is nice and helps me out. Although I forget his name, there is always usually 1 nice normal person.

The main idea of this topic is his bad experiences with sales people, it was merely a footnote that he mentioned he didn't like ATI cards so not sure why you guys are all fussing about that

Remeber the article is called "Sales people can suck a nut" not "I hate ATI cards"

OK, let's get serious, and try and speak in real language please, this isn't text messaging. On the subject of graphics cards: do any of you really think you can tell the difference, when playing a game, between a comparable ATI or NVIDIA card? At the top end both are capable of performance that is not even addressed by games manufacturers yet. If you buy the latest card you are wasting your money. The ideal is to be able to play your favourite game with "everything on" at smooth frame rates. Achieve that and be happy. If a new game comes out and your frame rates are dropping or you are losing quality then consider an upgrade. RAM is cheap, double that and see the difference in frame rates. Consider overclocking. It's easy and free using something like ATI Tool. No risk. Lastly, anyone who is knowledgeable can go into a store and make someone look like a dick. Is that clever? I don't htink so. They are doing their best, I'm sure. Give them a break.

I know just the feeling. Only the latest salesman attack on me has been on the phone, he sounds like a ginger too

I think your generalizing a bit much here, I totally agree that 'retai' salespeople suck, but come on you can't bung me into that category.. pfft..!

I have to agree with Eric D on this one, there is absolutely nothing wrong with ATI. I can understand if you had a bad experience with them, there are a few companies like that to me, but to say they suck, well, tha'ts just stupid.

Basically, the X1900XTX > anything right now, and sometimes by a pretty big margin. And the X1800XT isn't exactly a bad card either.

All this coming from a guy with a 7800GT that couldn't be happier, but you simply can't deny that ATI has good stuff. That said, I think the 7800GT is the best card in it's price range.

It shouldn't be about brand loyalty, it should be about what's best at the time of purchase

This crap happens ALL THE TIME! Deluded sales staff with a completely different aganda than what they should have force people to part with their hard earned cash just so they can have an extra 20 pence in their pay check for selling that one crappy item. I used to be a sales adviser and have been one for many years. I gave it up though and started working in the warehouse just because I got so tired of the lies and crap that spouts out of sales staffs mouths.

The glory days of Brick n' Mortar are soon numbered!

I buy almost *everything* online. Living in LA, it's an epic journey to the mall, only to deal with parking in some 12 story megaplex, and then fight your way through a mass of mindless buttfuckery just to deal with some shitbird who's bent on selling you shit you don't need.
