2D image/video quality recommendations
Depends on which NG the answer comes from.
"Default" wrote in message ... Hi all, Interested to know which set of cards now have the better image (and video) quality, nV or ATi? Came across a guy who says his Quadro looks better on screen than a 9800P. Can this be true? Views much appreciated! |

Came across a guy who says his Quadro looks better on screen than a 9800P. Can this be true? In my opinion, ATI has the better 2D image quality than Nvidia cards up to and including the GeForce4. I haven't seen the new Nvidia GeForceFX series so I cannot confirm if ATI still has the lead. Also I haven't seen the Quadro cards and can't really comment on that. --- Anders |

I just had a GF4 Ti4400 which had very good 2d compared to the older GForce
cards. However, I recently upgraded to a MSI FX5900 and the 2d and video quality is amazing. Quite a bit better than the Ti4400. Everything is much crisper, even at higher resolutions. Probably due to the new 400mhz Ramdac. Playback of videos like avi's and mpg's is amazing. Blows away my Ti4400 because Nvidia put in a new video processor, much like Ati's. I never had an ATI, but I can't imagine it being much better than the new FX series. As far as 2d performance, I did some benchmarking and the FX5900 is about twice as fast as my TI4400. This is great news if you do alot of Photoshop work, etc. "Default" wrote in message ... Hi all, Interested to know which set of cards now have the better image (and video) quality, nV or ATi?

I'm indifferent to whichever brand, call me disloyal, but I've switched from
ATi to nV and back and forth several times. Just intersted in some objective opinions. "Bruce Wilson" wrote in message ... Depends on which NG the answer comes from. "Default" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the replies people, keep em coming in. Also, if you've come
across any online reviews that would be helpful too. Cheers "Default" wrote in message ... Hi all, Interested to know which set of cards now have the better image (and video) quality, nV or ATi?

I can personally guarantee if you get an FX900, specifically an MSI (since
that is what I have and I can't vouch for any other brands), you will not be sorry. The 2d is amazing. That is one of the first things I noticed going from a TI4400. And I usually wasnt one who could notice any diff in image quality from card to card. I've also heard similar stories from those with other brands of the FX series. "Default" wrote in message ...

Would prefer the cheaper option than a full blown 5900U which I'm probably not even going to use. |

All believe all the fx series use the 400mhz ramdac, so image quality should be the same. Also, I do know that the improved video playback is included in the fx5600 as well (probably all the fx series). The speed of the RAMDAC dos not necessarily affect it's quality - the resolution and accuracy of the the DAC is the issue, along with the quality of components in the relevent driving circuits.

He was just referring to the new DAC, running at 400MHz, which may also have
been of better quality.. "Ben Pope" wrote in message ... edde wrote: All believe all the fx series use the 400mhz ramdac, so image quality should be the same.
