It ROCKS!!!!
between 50% to 100% better than Radeon 9800XT!!!
Well it looks as Nvidia delivered as promised this time around...
... uhhh... compared to the R3x0 chips originally launched 18 months ago. Wait and see what it looks like compared to the R420 with which it will actually have to compete.
Deco-Rj said:I'm sorry mate, I do not care about whatever Ati has to offer since it won't support Ps3.0 and games like Stalker and lots of other titles will support Ps3.0.
Deco-Rj said:Even if Ati can get within range of frame rate it still lacks proper full dx9 support and most certainlly will be slower on Opengl so I don't see anybody choosing an Ati card anytime soon.
Chalnoth said:Wow. Just wow. The 6800 really looks like it fixes all of the problems with the NV3x series, and then some. The only thing that pisses me off is that its anisotropic filtering level detection now emulates ATI's. That's just shitty.
But other than that the card looks like a freakin' wet dream...

Yup, 'cept for the 'fan of ATi' accusation bit I gotta agree. I'm pretty damned excited by what I'm reading of the nV40, it seems like an impressive bit of engineering!Sxotty said:This simply goes to show you are a fan of ATI and not technology. When I see a huge jump like that I of course get excited, and like I said in the news post that doesn't mean I run out and preorder, that means I wait patiently to see what ATI releases...

The AA, while improved, is also somewhat disappointing to someone like me who loves his AA. And if I were to buy a 6800U, I've got to tack on another $100 for a good PSU upgrade.

For all intents and purposes during actual gameplay, they are equal. There are no 4x zooms in actual gameplay.
Joe DeFuria said:I would say that the 4x mode in the NV4x is indeed very comparable to the 4X mode of the R3xx.
However, it's a step down from the 6X mode on the R3xx. And if we're lucky R420 will offer 8X MSAA with a sparse sample pattern.
The largest complaint about NV4x AA (stated nicely in the B3D review) isn't about it's sample pattern...it's that it only goes up to 4X. Given the power of the card, and that many games will be CPU limited, higher MSAA modes should be doable from a performance perspective.
