Pick One Please

[SnatcH]

I know i have made a thread similar but i need to know where you guys stand. Which one would be better for PLANETSIDE, and other games in the future (Half-Life2, Doom3, etc.)

[MilitantB0B]

I dig on Nvidea, had nothing but good luck with 'em.

[Strygun]

I've always gone with ATI. They have very trustworthy cards, and usually out perform nVidia.

[Onizuka]

NOW they are outperforming nvidia, a while ago..... no.

see ps supports nvidia so generally they are going to work better with ps. however id still pick a 9800 under these circumstances.

[PR24]

I am still clueless on why you insist on wasting your money.

Get the 9800 PRO with 128 mb or ram and save yourself $100.00

Games are not going to take advantage og those $500.00 cards its a waste of money.

[SnatcH]

Generally I was trying to see what company to go with, but im probably going to do what you suggested

[Airlift]

There are still occasional lockups in planetside with Radeon cards. With the latest drivers on a fresh install, I have a system lockup about once every 3 days or something. Before I fought with my system, my machine w/ 9700 Pro was requiring a hard reboot about once every hour.

[PR24]

I lock ups are due to bad patches the SOE releases.

I have a 9700 pro and lock up once in a blue moon. However SOE makes some of the worst patches I have ever seen for making a game unstable, stable, unstable ect.

[SnatcH]

so go with the Radeon 9700 or the Geforce?

[MrVulcan]

Ah, let the 2nd greatist desputed computer topic commence once again I see *1st is AMD vs Pent*

RADEON has caused me and many I know great pain and sufereing (does not play several games)

Nvidia has given me no problems and runs great, so ill keep using them until that changes

**sure, IF the radeon works, you can get a slight preformance edge over nvidia, but I have seen too many games not work to go for that, thanks **

[Moclov1]

I would go with the Radeon. I have 3 diff type of radeons is 3 comps and they all run PS great! Nvidia is still a great card but if I were you I wouldn't go with the FX series of Geforce! I have heard NOTHING but problems with them. FX series are not directly developed by Nvidia. They are an off company who makes them. Here is something I heard so this is hearsay but guildmate said he called the people who make the FX card and said he gets a lot of chop in PS and said his old Geforce 64mb card worked better and they actually agreed with him.

[Hamma]

This is like asking "AMD or INTEL" or "Republican or Democrat" there are no winners.

I "prefer" ATI

[Biohazzard56]

the benchmarks dont lie Radeon 9800 Pro, ATi has good drivers now

[Navaron]

Dude, Republican all the way. There's no contest.

I'm with ATI for bang for the buck however.
