ATI vs Nvidea [...]

[Frederic]

Since i am getting a new computer soon and i dont know what i should go for as videocard,i want to know if i should go for a ATI card or Nvidea card.I currently run on a Geforce6800 xtreme.I NEVER had a ATI card so i dont know anything about them.I heard the x1900x was good.

omg you created the endless thread in every forum... oh shit!
better performance= ATI
Better graphics= Nvidia
thats all i got

btw: take the x1900, more pipelines and performance:

I heard ATI is the pwnage for source games

meh is using GF 6600 GT, running hl2 all on max with FPS allways above 40. Depending on the map/scenario it might go over 100 or drop under 40. Im fine with this, so untill i start playing another game than hl2 i think im sticking with the 6600..

But about your pool, NVIDIA FTW!

My computer guy said:*ATI?Pfff,cest de la marde!Environ TOUT les jeux FPS qui ont du sence on un deal avec Nvidea,par example,Farcry.HL2 est une exception,ils ont fait un deal avec ATI.
Une calisse de X800 OC raisonablement peut battre la 6800

Avec le setup que tu vas avoir et les R600 et R700 qui vont sortir,le prix va baisser et tu vas pouvoir en avoir une autre en SLI plus tard.
Ou si tu veut SLI tout de suite...

I have a Radeon x1950 256mb for 1/2 price because it was returned twice because they both didn't have the right mother bored or power supply

I'd have to say to go with ATi (or Sapphire i had a x700 from them, worked better then my dad's x850) I've been using radeon since the 9550 and I love it. I get 40-50 FPS in HL2 and 40-45 with Fake factories texture pack.

At d1_trainstation_02 if I look straight into the courtyard i get 50-55 FPS and 1280x1024.


Tho if your looking for graphics, I'd say get a Nividia lots of newer games are using features only available on Nividia Cards, any game with the "Nividia: The Way its Meant To Be Played" has graphic features that only run well on N cards.

Example Hitman: Blood Money, shadows and glows only work well on N cards, and ATi Cards the glows and shadows go threw objects.

Agreed

[Frederic]

Now i need to know,do i get SLI 6800GS or 1 7900GS
and i get another one for SLI later on?

SLI 6800GS seems tempting to me

8600ultra maybe It will be like 160$

[Tuskin]

actually I would go with the 8XXX series apparently they are DX10 ready.

[Crimson]

ehh i have an nvidia 7800 but now they have the 8 series i almost shited myslef
but i kinda like atis xm1900 because its just as good and faster

[larz]

i have an old 6800 nvid i needz a new card

WHOA old ass thread oops, my bad

[skidz]

Yea I remember this game. I have had an ATI card and it was great, and now I have a Nvidia. They are both great cards. Just like Intel and AMD, its a back and forth thing but I have no preference. Whoever provides the greatest performance at the time of upgrading wins for me.
