Weldwire Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 (edited) This ATI vs nVidia thing reminds me of two dealerships.... One on one side of the street and one on the other.... Ford VS chevy.... every saturday morning I see the sales men on both sides, outside blowing up thier balloons. Watching each other with slit eyes, wondering who will get the most ballons up in the air B4 the customers sho up... They must think the one with the most balloons in the air will get the most customers.... Silly. I have an ATI and an nVidia card in 2 out of 5 computers on my network... They both put out great performance... I also own a chevy and a ford truck... I bought one from each of the dealers!! Did I mention I got two free balloons!!!??

Shadowfactor Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 R420= NO Pixel 3.0 shader omg games are just using ps 2.0 , ps3.0 isn't ganna be used for awhile then a new ps will come out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkScorpion Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Thats what they said when the 9500 and 9700 Came out. Games are ALREADY starting to utilize PS3.0, but not many have been showing up. PS3.0 will be all over a few months after the release of the 6800, and that'll put the X800 in its place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Nvidia promises a 50 % Increase with Direct x 9.1 but when it comes out ATI will gain increase too , SO NVIDIA sucks! i hate thier cards , If i ever had the chance alone with a Nvidia card , U would never be able to tell it was a video card , Im a Dieheart ATI Fan ATI Ownz! dont forget that! The NV40 will OWNZ the ATI card. I have always been a diehard NVidia fan EXCEPT for the FX series. Lets pretend that never existed and then talk about which company is better. hmm the x800 pro is about even with the 6800 U, so that must mean the x800xt will own it And Ati Doesnt fricken require a 480 Watt PSU for a stable system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkScorpion Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 If you think about it, onyl high performance users will be buying these card, and chances are, they will ALREADY have a high watt PSU. And they lowered the PSU requirements, just to let you know. And actually, the 6800U outperforms the X800Pro, the extra 4 pipes ensures that. Just about all the reviews out are extremely biased, so unless YOU can buy both, the 6800U Extreme (when it comes out) and the X800XT-PE and compare them yourself, I suggest you DONT base your opinions on a review.

Eva_Unit_0 Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Yeah, nVidia went a little too conservative with that PSU requirement. I read a review of an ES 6800U board, and it ran just fine on a 300W PSU, though naturally the fact that its an ES board means we can't rely on that. But nvidia has clearly stated now that the initial requirements they speced are not true...it'll run fine on far less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 hmm im a gamer i have a 9800 Xt and a 9800 Aiw and i have only an Okia 420 W. So not all gamers have big Psu's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Goonie Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 So which of these two are better??? The Radeon 9800 XT or Nvidia 5950 256??? And explain why please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADEON Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 (edited) from what ive herd the 59xx level of the fx line are the only good fx cards and as for the 98 xt it is a proven performer. so i would say got with wich ever you can find cheaper.

DarkScorpion Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 9800XT smashes the 5950, sad to say. The 5950 is usually performing a BIT better than the 9800Pro. Reason:9800XT has better PS2.0(2.1?) performance, making most if not all DX9B games run smoother and faster with better picture quality.
