It's unlikely that anyone else here really cares about the nVidia/ATI feud, but I am personally enjoying the hell out of it. I haven't liked nVidia much ever since they bought out my beloved 3dfx... and I am really liking how much ATI is wasting nVidia right now. http://www.megagames.com/news/html/hardware/dawnatiflingofficial.shtml nVidia's own Dawn demo seems to have been beaten by ATI... coupled with the recent announcement that nVidia was found cheating at 3DMark 2003, I think that it's safe to say that nVidia's stranglehold on the graphics chip market is officially over. nVidia can whine about 3DMark not being a "valid" benchmark all they want, but when their own demo apps run better on ATI cards, it's time to admit defeat. Welcome the new champion, ATI. |

i wanted a Raedon 9800 for my machine, just it costs more than my machine in total so i have a pretty basic 128mb geforce4, but hey, who ever makes my graphics look better ill go with. but thats pretty funny about the demo running better on ATI hehehe |
| Grey Ninja:
Yeah, I actually chose a GeForce3 over a Radeon 8500 for the same reason. It just costed WAY less for the nVidia card. But I still support ATI with my words, even though I can't support them with my dollar. |

I have been waiting to pick up a 9700Pro, but they never have really dropped in price, so I will be waiting a while longer until I get one...sigh. |

Well my Geforce4 Ti 4400 works perfectly. There is no need to get a card more powerful that a Geforce4 Ti or Radeon 9500...Unless you plan on running all the newest games at 1600x1200x32 with everything turned all the way up at 60 fps...except, not even the newest cards can do that. If you want to run the newest and best looking games at 60 fps, even on the best cards you can't really go above 1024x768, depending on the game's coding. I have to play GTA3 at 1024x768 because it was ported so poorly it is a system hog. But at least Vice City is much better in that sense for the PC. |
