Nvidia to Ati.....

Re: Nvidia to Ati.....

No, the x850xt PE is a sweet card, not the normal x850 it's lame. Sorry you did downgrade your card.

Informed opinion? Just a fanboy. Shadermodel 3 rofl. Ok, original poset: you mentioned getting the max clock with ATitool, have you done max memory as well? I usually take the max clock down 2-3% and then run a test for max memory. Good luck and good purchase.

Yes i did max mem too, the card tester with the spinning box is cool. Waiting for the artifacts to show limit was time consuming, it took an hour. Just waiting now on my Artic Cooling Vga cooler from Newegg. Hey i used be Nvidia fan boy but for less money i can get a great product, i am very happy with the graphics.

I have no problem with somebody that's brand loyal. I just hate when somebody asks a question about a product they just purchased and the only advice given is: "Why didn't you buy the card I have". All that matters is you're happy with your purchase. I use Arctic Cooling on all my cards although that's the only brand I've tried. I like the design and how it pumps the air directly out the back.

How to spot a fanboy:
1. Subject becomes overly defensive when it comes to the product he supports versus any product offered by a competitor.
2. Liberal use of obscenities.
3. References made to one specific game/technology repeatedly.

Honestly, the guy just wanted some information. The x850pro is a damn fine card, no doubt in my mind. It's all about being able to play bf2, right? What do other games have to do with it?

Yep, i am a slight ATi fanboy. But i can't just inherently say, the X800XL is better than the 6800GT, if you play games like Half-Life2, it is, but, if you play games like Doom 3, then the 6800GT. Anyways, there is no better better cards if they are like neck to neck. I mean nVidia obviously has the best cards out, but that's because they already have their next gen cards out.

Re: Nvidia to Ati.....

I don't think shadermodel 3.0 is worth $30. And while you might get a slightly better shader engine, you would notice some decline in performance due to lower clock speeds. Then again, the NVidia does have more pipelines. Without actually seeing both perform side by side, i'd say they're pretty close in comparison.

Yeah im in your boat! I've spent about $1200.00. Too bad the graphics cards are a little spendy for some.

Dude, read all your posts here, you're an nVIdia fanboy, you maynot know it, but we all do. Nobody else here is nearly as much a fanboy. And don't flame me again, i'm just stating the truth, just read all your posts on this thread.
