If you want raw power, nVIDIA often seems to be the way to go, although ATi will come back here and there and put out a product that will stomp all over them.

If you want IQ, ATi is the way to go. So I guess it's just personal preference. Any nVIDIA card I've had I've hated with a passion. I absolutely hate their drivers. They can never seem to get them right. They fix one game just to break two more. Incredibly frustrating.

Just have to put this in another place... look at that for a nice card from ATi.

Those benchmarks were given by ATi... they should be taken with a grain of salt (as far as I'm concerened they're flatout lieing).

agreed as i dont see how their x1900xt beat out a 7950 in almost every game? unless its being run in crossfire and i still think it would be much closer than that

but still that is one nice card

Here's some X1900XT benchmarks that weren't given by ATi:

Not to mention that he said that a long time ago when the X series was just coming out...

its an example...you know, its showing that what he's saying is still happening now and is true.

Wouldn't it be ironic that intel now has a kick butt proc that kills everything then ati comes out with a gpu that kills everything and intel and amd get a little win win situation. Though nvidia isn't really connecting to intel so much as amd either. But people now do associate amd with ati of course and nvidia to intel.

Uh..no Nvidia and Intel aren't very cool with each other.Nvidia is still working with AMD if you didn't know,now they just have their rival ATI..which now can work with them + the big AMD.So its 3v1 in AMD's court right now.Soon it may be better to get an AMD processor because they might do some package deals with graphic cards and processors.

Lol at the 7800GTX killing the X1900XT in the benchmarks sir kenin posted.

Ehh, the 19XT is the superior card of the two. It's actually better than the 7900 series as well, feature (and many times performance) wise.

Iluvpenguins · 09-03-2006, 05:22 AM

Did you look at the benchmark,thats what i was lol'ing at

**Archangel** · 09-10-2006, 11:42 AM

i cant be bothered by having the best, of the best, of the best. as long as my pc does its job, and it does it fine.. im happy with it. Im glad Ati and Nvidia are such hard rivals.. because that pushes the speed/performance of the produc's were getting a lot, at relatively low prices.

Atm i have 2 Nvidia cards,. and they do really well. when im going to buy a new pc, im going to look wich card looks to me the best then, regardless the Brand. because so far,.. you cant really say that Ait is better than Nvidia vice versa
