Tomb Raider AOD benches: Bad news for Nvidia
http://www.beyond3d.com/misc/traod_dx9perf/
This an article at Beyond 3d talking about using the game Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness as a benchmark. I haven't played the game or demo, but supposedly the game itself sucks. However, the game engine is supposedly the first DX9 title available and is state of the art. In the article, they performed tests between the latest ATi and Nvidia boards. The Nvidia cards, in this DX9 benchmark, did bad. Very bad. This article is a very good read if you are interested. Something interesting to add to this though. Supposedly, someone wrote a letter to Valve asking them how they felt the DX9 performance of Half-Life 2 would be on the cards. The response they got back was that the performance of HL2 on the ATi cards and Nvidia cards would be similar to the results obtained in the Beyond3d article. You can read it at: http://www.3dgpu.com/modules/news/ar...hp?storyid=315 If this is true, this shows how bad Nvidia's new cards are. No wonder Nvidia dropped out of the Futuremark program. Nvidia saw how bad their cards were going to be at Dx9 and pulled out of their program to cover their asses. "Benchmarks aren't important, it's the games that matter!!" Yeah, whatever con artists. Congrats Nvidia, you were correct. The games are comming out and they are indeed showing they matter, big time. If this is an indication of how all Dx9 games will run on the FX line of vid cards, I feel sorry for people who bought these cards. They were ripped off. Bad. I was looking to replace my Nvidia card not long ago. I was fed up with Nvidia's driver "optimizations", saw how good the new ATi cards were, so I bought a 9800 Pro. I'm feeling better and better about that decision everyday. Chris Smith |

What about the people that are stuck with Nvidia cause they got no cash.

Well that may well be the case. But in my opinion if I can't get great
performance on my FX5900Ultra on my P4 3GHz running at 3.27 then the game isn't worth buying. -- Andrew "« Les »" wrote in message ... snip Read the reply to the post that is 4th off bottom http://tinyurl.com/lhpp remember, this is from HL2 dev team |

I guess there won't ever be a game worth buying, ever again then. Might as
well slap a Voodoo Banshee in your box. - Andrew Stirling stood up at show-n-tell, in , and said: Well that may well be the case.

That statement makes no sense. Are you suggesting that it's acceptable to
release a game which does not produce good performance on a machine which contains the fastest (or as near as makes no difference) cpu possible at the time of release on the fastest (or 2nd fastest) graphics card available? My guess is that it'll run on my system just fine. -- Andrew "Strontium" wrote in message ... I guess there won't ever be a game worth buying, ever again then.

Didn't say it would suck... I said it wasn't worth buying - are you
suggesting that I should buy a game which doesn't perform well on my system??. Like I said though...I fully expect it to perform very well on my machine. Now kindly lay off the insults until you learn to read ...****face. -- Andrew "Strontium" wrote in message ... Game vendors will release whatever the Hell they want. Whether it's accepable, or not, is up to the individual. All we, as consumers, can do is decide what we want to play and make sure that our hardware is up to snuff. Your statement that 'because that game will not perform greatly on the card you have makes the game not worth buying' seems to make less sense than my statement. If you don't want to play it, don't. Just don't go around saying games suck, because you bought a ****ty card based on hype. - Andrew Stirling stood up at show-n-tell, in , and said: That statement makes no sense.

I think you're the one that needs to learn reading comprehension, dillweed.
Stop getting your panties in a knot just because you have a $400 piece of **** that sucks wrt FSAA and AF...but, your bitterness is understandable.

What a stupid comment. You spend all that money on your vid card (none of
the FX's are cheap as I recall) and you're going to place the blame on the game and forfiet something?! Stupid... Chris Smith "Andrew Stirling" wrote in message ... Well that may well be the case.
