well... erm... i had a ATI rage 128.. and now im using a Geforce 6800GT... i like the Geforce better

they both have excellent graphics, i actually think you get better performance for the price with ATI, since i got my 9600XT for under $100, and it plays the games at high-highest settings, and you can raelly get a nvidia card like that in that price range, the closest to that is the 6600GT.

Who knows... maybe the next ATI card will beat the 7800GTX by a landslide!

maybe, maybe not. and who knows. perhaps the next geforce will be stronger as the best ATI card at that moment.. (and so on and so on )

maybe there is even 1 big company behind those 2 names. (yea.. you can never know

)

Like I said before, I like ATI better cuz you get more bang for your buck. My X700 retails for around $150-$180 and it runs games on all really high, good luck finding a PCI-E Nvidia that can do the same in that price range (the closest is the 6600GT- if that is even for PCI-E i don't know.....)

Also note that the X700 is a scrapped product

I rest my case

ATI seems like alot more bang for your buck but now with this new SLI technology for the geforce with the new nforce 4 it seems like nvidia is making the wise move, nothing ATI has out currently could beat 2 high end nvidia cards on one board with SLI technology if i am understanding this technology correctly, if I am misled give me a heads up.

GhostEye · 09-04-2005, 08:20 AM

it depends at what... SLI doesnt give u a 2x performance boost. The performance boost is only actualy scene with real high res. But nvidia IS ontop atm because they have released their next gen gpu (the 7800), while ati has yet to release theirs (which will prolly top the nvidia) just a endless cycle.

The thing is, the r520 is more than a month later in release and so nvidia has even more time to develop their next generation, sure it's an endless cycle but the earlier a product is released (assuming it works as advertised) will sell better.
