:p

What? "gj ATi" is sarcastic. They\'re not going to support it until the end of the year, at least!

It\'s apparently rather valuable too; more efficient. Note the speed increase in Far Cry.. nVidia\'s on top now.

See Blade that was my point flipped around, while PS3.0 is more efficient, the moment you turn resolutions up and AA/AF, ATI still beats the 6800.

here is the benckmark for Pure speed mode (NO AA/AF)




ATI WINS HERE!


No let\'s turn AA/F on with high res  


THIS time ATI TAKES EVEN A BIGGER LEAD with AA/AF activated.

So yes PS3.0 has improved speed(by how much that is debatable at this premature point), keep in MIND ATI\'s 3DC is going to incorporated in the 1.3 Far cry patch which should, just like PS3.0 did for the 6800, increase the performance of the card.

Again this whole PS3.0 issue is being blown way out of proportion by NVIDIA just like ATI\'s 3DC. Both have there advantages, however it\'s not until next gen graphic cards that we will see the full throttle mainstream pick-up of shader model 3.0 which does not add any visual improvements over 2.0, just speed.

Holy crap nVidia finally posted benchmarks!  :p

PS 1600x1200 in Far Cry with full AA & AF @60fps is insane!!

THX 60fps on that level, results vary for any card depending on which level is being tested. Some levels will put both the 6800 and X800 to there kness/Slowdowns!

First nothing, you\'ll continuously make one excuse after another. You have nothing of important significance to add towards this thread other than crapping all over it which you are notorious for. Do us all a favor and go buy some dippers so that hopefully we don\'t have to smell your spew any more.:blah:

^ But you still didn\'t really (honestly) answer why you got rid of the X800xt card. I can\'t imagine it to perform less than very good..

anything i say about the x800 card will make nvidia256 cry.

lets just say it was a mistake to buy it, a profitable one however

like an AMD cpu chip, it ran hot as ever, and was twice as loud as my 6800u.  it\'s a 9800 pro cranked to the max, nothing more.   the demos sucked.  the drivers sucked.  no games were included.  couldnt overclock like a champ.  the PCB was frickin red.  it said Ati on it.  the community forums at rage3d are gimps, they spend all day crying how good nvidia cards are.

^ More lack of education showing or should i say, outdated education.
Current amd cpu aren\'t hot. 35c pop point is 80c / 90c  Not like a certain p4 ehh..
Fans designs make or break a gpu or system, they\'re just designed to move airflow. Hence why mine is a Tt Silent Booster which is very quiet.  
Also, brands have a lot to do with noise levels, since each has their own little design. Its what you brand you bought which is why it was most likely noisy. If there are no other brands to choose from (doubtful) then you should’ve waited to begin with.



ohh, and there is user error. Biggest problem in the pc desktop world ;)

my p4 is at 3.6 from 3.0 with stock cooler, runs like a dream.  current amd chips are like thermonuclear reactors

my x800 was BBA

i impulse bought it because i could, i wanted to give ati one last shot, 6800u wasnt available yet,  and i made a bundle from my error.

do i notice a large difference between the x800 and 6800u?  not really, far cry runs a little better  on the x800 at 4xfsaa 16xaf, but the 6800u has room to grow.  when the difference is +/- 5 fps, who cares.  the x800 was the best its ever gonna get at launch.

thanks for wasting my time (as usual), souly.  nvidia256 is up to bat now

oh, and sales = king
