you might be asking yourself, ATI or nvidia. well, these are the facts, so fanbois read and WEEP. anyway. as we clearly see in difrent game engines, openGL2.0 or directX9.0b-c
ATI will always be GOD of directX9.0 and dx10 when it is released
nVidia will always be GOD of openGL2.0, and 2.2 when its released
now lets look at classes,
with full AA, AF and full resolution, in doom3, the x850 xt pe AGP outperformed a 6800ultra pci-E by 7 fps avarage, getting 27 fps. no other ATI card did better in doom3. the rest of the nvidia cards were faster by nearly 20% in d3, only because the d3 engine was built and modified (when the core came out) around the NV40 and NV43 core.
in hl2, source, other dx9 games like farcry, splinter cell, ATI cards were faster by 23% avarage. the x800 xl surpassed the 6800 gt's, x80's past the 6600 gt's, and obviously the x850 xt pe over 6800ultras. sure you say well blah blah 7800 gtx or whatever, fact is that card is just as slow, when the x900's come out it will be pwn4g3 7im3.
doom3 or openGL game fan? get nVidia
dx9/hl2 fan? get ATI
its that simple. (based on benchmarks and FACTS, not fanboi'ism, not one company is better than the other, and as soon as someone says ATI is better than nvidia, or nvidia is better than ATI, someone hand him the STUPID hat.)
