ATI vs NVIDIA? anyone?

[Jebazor]

People can't seem to figure out which is best, particularly for mid-range cards, anyone have any ideas?

 

[Jebazor]

vs 3dfx?

 

[Jebazor]

vs AMD vs Intel, anything, anybody, the unltimate question needs the ultimate answer! :twisted:

Although I commend you on your efforts to help out the OP in this<---(click me) thread, these sort of things seem to be happening a lot lately. Just look at all the lame AMD vs Intel threads lately.

I too attempted to keep the thread on track but once a fanboy gets going, they're hard to stop. The best thing to do is just hit the "Ignore" button, or...sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

As long as forums exist, posters like radeonninjaxt a.k.a nvidiotfanboykiller will exist.

I'm pretty sure the OP of that thread has already made their decision.

At 300$ the X1800 XT is better than the 7900GT.

Not always.

There are good sites to find reviews, e.g., here and extremetech.com. It also depends on how you'll use it and how much money you have. Finally, I think it is none sense to say one company is always better than another accross the board. It's like saying some athelete is the greatest to ever play their game. Might be able to persuavely argue the greatest at a particular position but not the game. For me what is most important is overall quality of the companies products at the time I'm buying. E.g., right now Maxtor HDD have some serious quality issues so I don't buy Maxtor. But companies overall quality changes. e.g., a while back Canon printers had a lot of problems but today I they're some of the best out there.

The ultimate question?

This is a ST00PID question usually posed by equally st00pid people.

And the Answer is the Bitchin'Fast !

Look it up!

Now, now. He's just a little upset at how another post went off topic due to another fanboy. Jebazor was only trying to divert fanboy posters from that post here to try and get the original post back on topic.

prozac26, Cleeve found another puppet.

 

[Anoobis]

GeneticWeapon...you're really gonna get a kick out of the post I referenced above.


Edit: NOT WORK SAFE!!

For now.

 

[Heyyou27]

The only game the 7900GT beats the X1800XT in is Doom3/Quake4.

That would be Games... not game. and that also depends on which 7900GT your talking about.

 

[Heyyou27]

I categorized them as one game, seeing as they use the same engine.

 

[sdrawkcaBgoD]

The only game the 7900GT beats the X1800XT in is Doom3/Quake4.

And Lock On: Modern Air Combat.
And Pacific Fighters.
And High-Res FarCry.

And probably a bunch of other games that weren't included in the tests...

In fact, out of the nine tests the 7900gt performs better in four, the x1800xt performs better in four and they split Farcry right down the middle. Personally, I'd go for the higher-resolution performance of FarCry as my criteria since I have a high-res monitor. Before anyone starts creaming fanboy, please check my sig!

 

[blueangel]

None are better.

 

[mad_fitzy]

A-Grade shit post.

 

[Jebazor]

In all seriousness, I wanted to shift the topic to what people think is going to happen in the next couple of years, what with the constant competition between ATI and NVidia, the new gaming systems using competing chips, and the new cards coming out every month it seems.

Do any of you think that things are just on an endless cycle (ATI has best card=>Nvidia has best card=>ATI=>Nvidia..etc...) or will one of the companies wait a little longer to innovate and truly change the way all of us use graphics cards in the future.

As far as the fighting and fanboy thing is concerned, my point was that nobody dumb enough to run their mouth off does it where everyone can see it, like here, dumb question, yes, but no dumb answers yet.:roll:

 

[Korrd]

Fanboys... *sigh*
I never understood fanatism in any sense.

Fanboys can be people who adore a product (to adore a product its nonsense. its just a product). Or those who are paid by the companies to promote thier product in forums, etc..

Personally, im not married to any brand. When i need to buy a product i just perform an investigation to determine which one gives me the "best bang for the buck". Brand is not considered. I dont care if it is nvidia, ati, bergamote, ducky, etc.. as long as it is of good quality.

 

[dvdpiddy]

Where did you find it?

 

[Jebazor]

That thing would be bitchin' slow today :lol: .

 

[dvdpiddy]

It does have 256 meg ram so it should let it atleast beat the 7300.

 

[Jebazor]

Yeah, but who uses a 7300 for their bitchin' 3d nowadays? And AGP at that.

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

That thing would be bitchin' slow today :lol: .

They launched an Upate;

Thanks again to Cleeve (and of course to GW for the repost of the Original!). 8) 8)
