ATI a different video card company?
different and better.

[Sputty]

different and better.
Indeed

BTW, I've said this many times before...
The way the nVidia cards are getting higher FPS in the new drivers is that they're reducing image quality

Reducing image quality for better FPS? :doh: As long as it's not 'pixely', I'm fine.

[Indecisive]

I havent noticed any worse quality.

[NoSurrender]

[WritheNC]

Goddamn. ATI vs. Nvidia arguments are old and lame. Both work for God's sake.

[Spider]

No point in trying to change peoples point of views just shut up and buy the god damn card you want and leave their decisions up to them for fucks sake!

What is the new video benchmark program? After the big 3D Mark 2003 debate on nVidia not offering any help to them and to 'spite' them MadOnion used a DX9 shader that is terribly inefficient and would never be used in any game, which made nVidia cards get 10% of the score as ATI cards, I really don't trust 3d Mark 2003 any more, and '01 gets too high of scores to really stress the cards anymore.

Aren't there a few new games that have free benchmark/demos out? Is it AquaNut or something like that?

[Squeeky]

Woot.
