ATI Technologies Friday issued a statement denying any problems with PCI Express compatibility and certifications, as the main rival NVIDIA had presumably rolled-out a document that condemns the recently announced ATI RADEON X700 technology.

A high-ranking executive of an NVIDIA add-in-card partner has send a number of documents that criticize ATI?s RADEON X700 and praise NVIDIA?s GeForce 6600 technology to media, including X-bit labs web-site. The documents were marked as copyright by NVIDIA Corp., the authors of the documents are people named ?ahwang? and ?rcajnar?. The X700-related white-paper in PDF format was created on the 20th of September, 2004, a day before ATI?s RADEON X700 XT reviews hit the web.
