FSAA/Aniso performance is the only thing that really matters anymore. Who doesn't turn on *some* level of FSAA/Aniso with the performance of the current generation of cards? The 9500 Pro is 75%-100% faster than a ti4200 in that regard. Indeed, it's 10%-50% faster than a ti4600. That and DX9...

Saying that there is a market for a $650 video card ignores the obvious. Nvidia/ATI, etc. could always create a multichip design and scale performance up through the ceiling. At a very high price to the consumer. Yet there is a notable absence of such solutions. Why, for example, do ATI fans...

No, that's got to be accurate. It's just too freakin bizarre to be anything but...

My point I thought was obvious. Doomtrooper in every instance was comparing an ATI card to an Nvidia card that was released BEFORE. It doesn't matter what was intended to be an "answer" to what. Doomtrooper says ATI has more "advanced" cards, and he uses as one of his examples the fact that...

This is not a very objective observation. Each one of those ATI cards that you are comparing to an Nvidia card came out afterwards. Then you conveniently overlook the flipside of the coin. Here's the other way of writing history: Geforce1 v. Rage Fury Pro GF1 has T&L (later FSAA via...

The question is whether Anand is enough of a dolt to make the statement "NV30 will be faster on paper" *without* a 256 bit bus, knowing that it won't have enough bandwidth to feed that many pipes. I tend to think the answer is "no, he isn't that much of a dolt." But I also think he doesn't...

If some guy in Denmark with a low profile website can get an R300 on loan from a buddy of his and release benchmarks a month before ATI intends that they be released, Nvidia can get one too.

This seems consistent with everything said thusfar in this thread. His "current work" is Doom 3. His "next generation" will be a new game engine to be developed. The time interval between the Q3A engine and Doom3 will be what, 3 years? JC doesn't just crank out new game engines every year...

That FS article was analyzed on the various boards when it came out. Opinions differed depending on fan affiliation. My own independent view is that it was meaningless PR speak. "Most of our optimizations for Quake 3 and other applications have no impact at all on image quality, and...

This is a reply to jb. I keep seeing this historical revisionism about the Quake/Quack issue being posted and reposted here and on Rage3D. The fact that the ref to Q3 had been in the old drivers, a fact known from the beginning of the controversy, did not prove it to be a bug rather than a...

Look at it this way. The GF4 ti 4600 gets about 35-40% more fps than an 8500 on average, depending on application, resolution, etc. Now lets take the worst possible interpretation of this for ATI: that this this was a comparison between R300 and NV25. What that means is that a pre-beta...
