Following on from this article, the other day PCI-SIG and ATI responds to nVidia's allegations:
PCI-SIG
It has come to our attention that a document has been distributed anonymously which purports to compare the link quality of several PCI Express? devices. This document was prepared without the knowledge or approval of the PCI-SIG® , and the PCI-SIG does not vouch for the accuracy of the test results, test methodologies or any other information contained in that document. The PCI-SIG does not endorse the use of any one member?s products over those available from any other member.

ATI
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.
