ATI destroys Nvidia in HL2...says ATI

cefoskey · Nov 16, 2004

Check these benchies out: <A HREF="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=19707" target="_new"> HL2 Benchmarks by Ati </A>

Impressive performance by ALL of the ATI lineup.

Hmmm, a bit biased perhaps? Or does HL2 really run THAT much better on Radeons

I was just reading that. It will be interesting to see what happens when the major review sites look into performance and IQ in detail. These numbers are looking more like the VST than CSS. Maybe ATI will dominate HL2 as much as NV does in Doom 3. Can't wait for more info, and to get my hands on the game tonight.

I find it hard to believe that in otherwise identical setups Ati is around 50% faster than Nvidia. If they are, that's great.... but 50%?

Looking at the plain jane GF6800... it sucks according to these charts(second chart from bottom). It is destroyed by the X800 series at those settings.

That is comforting new since Im still hell bent on using my 9800pro-xt 128mb card and didnt wanna upgrade till r500 cores come out since I want that PS3.0 support.

Sorry But what a load of fuuckin sh1t. (Remark not aimed at anyone of the amazing people in these Forums)

These are benchmarks done by ATI If I was a ATI PR guy, I would benchmark with the best betas for ATI and choose the sh1ty old nvidia drivers, and what would you get high class hoe which can suck better (optimised drivers) than a industrial hoover compared to a old hoe (unoptimised drivers).

Just imagine if Nvidia did a benchmark wholey crap i could see nvidia beating ATI with nvidia PR guys upfront.

This sort of crap should be left out, and should be carried out by non bios reviewers and websites like tomshardware.

Also driver optimistations must take a part for ati cards since its a ati partnered game, like doom3 was for nvidia but as soon as ati released had updated drivers there was not much of a performance difference between the 2 companys cards.

I hate Nvidia and ATI playing dirty tricks and toying with are minds and peoples pockets.

We don't have to imagine; we've seen it time and time again.

Yes, nickspeed is obviously very green for this forum.

Cause it's not like nV posted a bunch of powerpoint slides a month ago showing the FX5200 and 5500 as being the best value choice for 'gamers' simply based on D3 results.

Nah, that'd never happen right?

How about PS2.0++++++++++....

Never heard of it.

I discounted these results from the start, but ti does make one thnk that there will be some performance advanatages to the ATI cards for the time being. The question is what will be the reponse, there's always something. Expect it in the 74.47 (HL mirrored) driver or whatever they are, cause the 70.41 ain't got it right now.

It would be interesting if there was now this balancing factor. All the time we keep saying the Xxxx suck in D3, well if the tables are turned then really it would once be back to more than just one game, since both HL2 and D3 would cancel each other out, leaving every other game.

BTW, DriverHeaven's 'review' is matching up with those numbers though. Noticeable lead for the ATI cards.

<A HREF="http://www.driverheaven.net/articles/Half life 2/" target="_new">http://www.driverheaven.net/articles/Half life 2/</A>

And the Drivers are 4.12 against 66.93s. While there is the 70.41 beta drivers out there for nV, I doubt they will bring much difference to these results. Expect that later like I said above.

Another Excelent reply by the guys in this forum. (greatape Pauldh) yes nvidias done it so many times I have lost count.

And I agree I would not expect much from beta 70.41 drivers nvidia will need a couple of months to match ati`s also I can see the 6800gt matching the x800pro and the 6600gt matching the x700XT when driver optimisation has occured for nvidia.

I was wondering where you were man, and if you got HL2 yet, but I see by another post you are doing the free trial thing first. :lol:
