ATI vs. nVIDIA gfx cards

PR24 · 2003-03-28, 09:42 AM

Please don't turn this into a flame war I want this to be a good thread.

I have noticed on Futuremark that people with 9700 pro vs a gf4 ti4600 seem to be blowing the doors off of the scores.

With my current setup I rank #7 over all in my class and when the only thing I change to compare the video card the persons score doubled.

What have people notice switching from GF4 ti cards to ATI 9700 + cards?

It there is that big of a change I may need to save and buy a 9800 when they come out.

BTW my Mark score was 1899.

I am glad I picked up the Radeon instead of another GF4 when it fried. So far I

it.

Hamma did you happen to run 3D mark 03 before and after the gfx card switch? What where the noticable changes? Is it worth at some point replacing the gf4 card with a 9700+ card?

Yea i ran a 3dmark 2k3, it was 1100 or so with the GF4 and 4000+ with the radeon

God damn Hamma

I guess the 9800 pro or the 9700 pro depending on cost will be my next card then

ATI improved their drivers from what they used to be?

If you can say hamma what detail levels are you running in PS and what are your FPS?

Hamma · 2003-03-28, 11:24 AM

I cant say my FPS, becaues I dont know it, and I dont care lol. As long as it runs smooth I dont care about #'s

I am running at the fullest detail PS allows right now

Ive always thought i am going to get a gf4, but that radeon sounds tastey...how much does the radeon 9700 pro cost?
