Nvidia has got some problems coming up if this isnt fixed before half life2 comes out !
Basically its a problem with Dx9 not handling the anti aliasing properly with the superfine textures. looks like nvidia users will have to turn it off and have jaggies but ATI users will enjoy the details.
Link Here! (http://www.anandtech.com/news/shownews.html?i=20106)
look\'s like it will need major patching unless the release is delayed. :(

At the rez i run my games at on my monitor, i don\'t use AA, To taxing on gf4 cards anyway. Oneday i\'ll update my card, but atm. It\'s not worth it for D3 and HL2 imo.

MM hasn\'t spoken up.......wonder why.........

Same here too.
Run it at a high res and cutthe AA you hardly notice the diff.
but it dose look like my next gen card will be have a ATI stiker on it. :D.

I\'m not a fan of FSAA, really. I mean, if it were free I\'d obviously use it.. but at my preferred resolution (1024x768) it\'s not worth the drop in performance. Anywho, I\'m leaning more towards ATi for my next upgrade this Fall.
MM: Depends on the game, pal. ATi has made major strides since acquiring ArtX; I would\'ve agreed with you long ago, but that was then.. this is now. As it stands, nVidia is lucky to still be no.1! They\'ve made mistake after mistake after mistake, but they\'ve fixed a few. It still hurt their reputation in my eyes. What did they do? Let\'s start with the big ones, then move down..
A. Cheating in benchmarks. Good move, nVidia.. you just dropped my faith in video card benchmarks.. making my next buying decision tougher. Way to go! *clap clap clap*
B. GeForceFX 5800, AKA Oreck had better watch out! Sad performance on par with the 6+ month old Radeon 9700, with a fan that sent not only nVidia\'s but also Hoover\'s R&D department back to th\' drawing board!
C. Cg. We need this thing about as much as needed Glide. (which was actually a great advantage for 3dfx fans like myself, but it did make things difficult for developers) Now games coded using Cg work better on nVidia cards than ATi cards.. making my buying decisions more complicated than they need to be. (they\'re complicated enough already..)
D. Here\'s a light-weight complaint.. marketing. Don\'t market a GeForce 2 as a GF4, and don\'t market a GF4 as a GF-FX 5200. That\'s stupid. They\'re in different generations, for crying out loud.. in the case of the GF4-MX and GF4 Ti4200+, one has pixel shaders and the other doesn\'t. Huge difference, and most people wouldn\'t know about it.
Of course, that\'s the point.. screw the consumer. Two thumbs up, nVidia!

Personally, I can hardly see how anyone could stick to NVIDIA when ATI are just leaping in bounds in front of them. Anyone choosing NVIDIA over ATI atm is got to be misinformed or a fanboy.
Blade, u forgot about nvidia\'s fx card frying the gpu on screensavers, also how ati\'s 9700pro card was running the dawn demo with a wrapper better then Nvidia\'s own card.

Yep, there\'s plenty of things they\'ve done.
Even with your additions, we probably haven\'t listed them all! :)
