Its a problem when the $300 6800 is up there with the $500 ATI XT
version!!

In OpenGL, try taking a more overall view of the games market with the
vast bulk of games being D3D and things look a lot better for ATI
owners.

While most games are D3D, a good amount of them will continue to use
OPenGL - since afterall many games will be using the Quake3 & Doom3
engines.

- Fahrenheit 9/11 - Unless you see it for yourself, don't call it "a bunch of lies"... that would be unAmerican.
- White House blows cover of an undercover agent because her husband said there were no WMD (before the USA started the war) - her job was finding terrorist.

BF1942 is D3D.

With the new HalfLife2 engine, Nvidia & ATI are neck and neck...

Hardly, there are far more D3D games.

Doom 3 isn't a general purpose engine, if licensed, it will have very
limited appeal compared to the HL2 engine.

I think he was referring to d3d performance with the hl2 engine, and they
are close.
Not that I'm an nvidia fan, but facts are facts.

Not if you look at the CS:Source benchmarks on Firingsquad.
