IAWO, what about all the posts where people are benchamarking their new card and cant get it close to the scores that TH posts on their reviews. MMM, smelly. From what Ive seem, synthetic optimisations or not, nVidia is good for some, ATI in others, and nobody can say that one eats the other because they too close. The GFFX 5900 Pro is a top card, just as the R9800 is. The clincher may be if you have a cold house, go for the 5900 because it may keep you warm late into the night ;p |

Are you saying that the 5900 Ultra benchmark numbers were faked or "fixed"
somehow in his article? That it's actually slower than a 9800 Pro? If so, I would be very interested in hearing your objective technical evidence to support this. "Strontium" wrote in message ...

I actually did find some interesting articles from ZDnet
http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/Nvidia_...?tag=pdtl-list and another in Cnet http://news.com.com/2100-1046-1009574.html?tag=txt in which it was recently revealed that Nvidia had tweaked their drivers to run better on certain benchmarks. Once these tweaks were turned off, the 9800 did beat the 5900 in several tests. In other cases, the original performance differences between the two cards was narrowed considerably. I stand corrected. --- John "Chimera" wrote in message ... John M. wrote: cough, cough...blind loyalty..cough, cough.. Got benchmarks? plenty out there. |

No pointing fingers from me, but this makes an interesting read: http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/...ect/index.html |
