8x Anisotropic Filtering
Here we test a card's speed when using anisotropic filtering. Since the two companies use different optimizations, a direct "apples-to-apples" comparison is difficult. The quality tests at the beginning of the article showed that visually, ATi's chips seem to have an edge on the competition.
UT 2003 - 8x Aniso Quality
Settings: NVIDIA - Balanced; ATi - Quality
The Radeon 9800 PRO dominates the FX 5800 Ultra. The performance improvement over the Radeon 9700 PRO is obvious.
