tried the 2600xt ddr4, it's a complete suicide while gaming with AA + AF on... it's very very low FPS n the image quality is really annoying... some 2900xt users reported same issues with their gpu... whenever the AA + AF is on, the card is dying... (i was impressed with their 3dmark score but given up on the idea to change to 2900xt after some comments on gaming)... i dunwan to play games without AA + AF on...

QUOTE(X.E.D @ Sep 6 2007, 05:05 PM) Bioshock is an Nvidia "The Way It's Meant To Be FanBoy detected... Wait for Cat 7.9 or 8.0 when ATI can get some real optimizations. Oh, and [T]ardOCP is heavily nvidia-slanted, just see the forums and you'll know. Bioshock should be faster on the HD2900XT than the 8800ULTRA in DX9.   ... neh, i dun care, i'll juz buy the best bang for the buck, be it ati, nvidia or even S3!!! if it doesn't deliver then forget about it... i dunwan to wait 6 months for a great driver coz another few month u probably hear another new gpu on the market again...  |

QUOTE(X.E.D @ Sep 7 2007, 08:29 PM) I think what you said suits you a lot more. i dunno but maybe i am a fanboy... i'm a fanboy when i pay, i'll get what i want... not after wating for few xtra months... i do have a few ATI gpu too for ur info... i'm not saying ATI isn't good but just 2900xt didn't deliver for what most ppl expect after waiting for it to launch for 6 months... hell, the older 1950xtx works on par with the 2900xt in dx9 games when it was launch... o ya, not every1 play bioshock or call of juarez... n i'm still in XP... not vista... i've gone from 7950gx2 to 8800gts isn't coz 8800gts perform much better than the gx2 but it's juz my 975 mobo ain't frenly with it... i'm even getting a 2600xt for my htpc with abit f-190h mobo coz i wanted them in red color... as simple as dat, n 2600xt has the simpler hdmi jack.... so am i a fanboy of asking for performance/price ratio??? yes i am... The 320MB is a piece of junk, failing to run even Call of Juarez in DX10 smoothly. It delivers- yeah right.  Fanboy detected.  Now, back on semi on-topic. BioShock is an nVidia SPONSORED game, not optimized by ATi drivers or anything. It's just the same case as Lost Planet, game devs bought over to code deliberately FOR their cards (and in this case because both cards are very different, AGAINST ATi ones) in DX10. It's not cheating, but it's obviously anticompetitive and all. Futuremark's 3DM08 should be something better to compare to- it's not a game, but it's not using DX10 half-assedly or heavily supported by either side. Truth is, see any benchmark on Unreal Engine 3 in DX9 and it's obvious that the card you *didn't* buy wins. I did the long outlook, you did the current math. UE3 and other shader heavy titles are the major cornerstone of future games, DX9 or 10. Oh, and happy enjoying your slower card running at 90 degrees load.  They cheated 3DMark03 with 16FP precision replacement IIRC. That does affects quality, otherwise everyone would be using FP16 instead of the DX9 FP24 standard, right? gpu maker sponsor games??? yeah, what's wrong with it??? well, if they dun sponsor, we might dun even have these games around... try no 1 sponsor F1 race... but taking the fully sponsored games as a benchmark to compare to other gpu makers card isn't so nice... over the time, better n greater cards r produced, so arguing wat certain gpu maker might improve in the next 9 to 12 months for current card, isn't wat users wanna think much... by dat time, we might oredi changed to newer card again...  o, btw, anyone playing latest colin mcrae rally game??? wat gpu n wat fps u r getting when everything set to max with 1680 x 1050 resolution???  |
