Benchmarks And Settings
Since the whole ATI vs. NVIDIA topic can be somewhat touchy, we decided to cross-benchmark both platforms with graphics cards from ATI and NVIDIA. The goal was to verify whether any of the companies implanted acceleration for its own graphics technology - or pitfalls for the competition. We used the ATI Radeon X850 XL and NVIDIA's GeForce 7800GTX.
