Agallion Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 i love my ti 4600..its just a freakin beast..still out benches the 5600 lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodking Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 i just bought a 5950 ultra from gainward and it keeps up with the 9800XT with ease. it kick . in some benches and receives a hard punch in others. okay the 9800XT is cheaper but the 5950 ultra has higher overclock potential! so in the end both flagships are equal good and there is one thing for certain. when the next generation cards hit the market NVIDIA has an advantage over ATI. but when yet another generation is getting released tables might turn. who knows!

Agallion Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 well microsoft and nvida are both promising a 60% preformance boost in teh 5900 series with release of dx 9.1...so i dono it could be the end of ati..although i doubt 60%..MAYBE 10% is where im leaning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsamb. Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 I have always preferred the nVidia drivers and interface, but in the last couple of years I have been using more ATI cards and I actually prefer their GPUs. I am not a big fan of the 9200 Pro driver interface on one of my secondary boxes back home. But there is something about the manufacturer of the chip making the card that is reassuring to me. And you have choices of the outsourced chips as well. So I am leaning toward ATI as of now, but a couple of years ago nVidia was on top with my boxes. Awaiting the next generation of GPUs so I can change my mind again, tsamb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 The only problem I have with ATI lately is all their issues w/ the BF series..... I have recommended two diff't ATI's a 9700 and 9800 pro for my friend's builds and the ATI cards are running sluggish, however their are known issues for this... This can be a problem considering we all enjoy the BF series.. BTW my FX5900 -> softmoded to 5950 is running excellent in DX9, no problems yet with the latest games... I think some of the drivers fixed many issues.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix_X Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 I am and always will be a nVidia fan. dont know why but i prefer them, although i never really had ati cards. ok so ati beats nvidia most of the time. I just find nvidia more user-friendly and has better driver support. too bad half-life 2 is gonna lag on my machine ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Frankenstein Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 welcome to OCC hope you enjoy your stay..... Phoenix_X and by the way you gotta help us look forward to meeting you elsewhere in the forums whoops thought i was somewhere else (coughs and walks away head hung in shame) i am an ATI fan but i have only ever owned ATI cards so figures really its called loyalty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix_X Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 yeah, i guess i'm also just a loyalist. But i take my hat of to ATI, the tougher the competition, the better deals we get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Frankenstein Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 thats the best bit about it. obviously every company is going to develope newer technologys so the best is only the best for a very little while i got my 9800pro then a couple of months down the line out pops the 9800xt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agallion Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 right now seems the best deals from both sides, well as far as modders go, are the 5900se and the 9800np 5900se can be flashed to 5950 and the 9800np can be flashed to pro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix_X Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 could u tell me how the flash work? do u need some special utilities and does it work with all cards or what? i have a GeForceFX 5600..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
