Replying to Which Video Card Is Better, ATI Radeon, Or N-Vidia

GeForce 6?!?!?!?!?!
I had no idea at all that even existed!

it really depends how much you are willing to spend

there are different video card generatios.

some generations nvidia has been better and others ati has been better

for example, the radeon 9 series was a lot better than the geforce 5 series in a lot of applications, especially direct x 9 application.

however in this generation, a lot of the geforce 6 cards are better than the radeon x series cards.

spending more can also make a difference as there are different video card levels.

for example there are 9200, 9600, 9800 and x800

NVIDIA is best az i am using it and i am findin no problem.....

Ahhhh Voodoo !!
I remember those days !

You either had a voodoo graphics card, or you had a crap graphics card !

Voodoo3 was released when i got my first x86 pc.
i remember a voodoo advert on the tv showing quake2 (which was amasing graphics at the time !)

remember GlideGL ?
what the hell was GlideGL ? some voodoo version of OpenGL ?

Look, neither company is better.

Each line of cards they produce is different. Sometimes ATI is faster, sometimes nVidia is faster, and even then it often changes on a program to program, task to task basis. If you really want to know which is better, go figure out how much money you want to spend. Then, go look up some recent benchmarks and reviews for cards in that price range.

Yeesh.

thats what i said... and i think it also got said around page 2, lol.

i dont think anyon is actually reading the thread, its gotten too big, which i assume is why so many people are repeating over and over whats alrady been said.

but if anyone closes this thread, sooner or later a new ATI vs nvidia will pop up, get merged with this one, and spawn even more repertition.

my pocket don't allow me to buy the latest (damn! i have to get a work -.-)...but my ATI card give me some problems that my old GeForce card hasn't

playing with doom 3 after three minutes the game crashes and the system follow the game crash so i have to hard reset my pc -.-

Try updating the game, ATI drivers, and DirectX. Any of those should solve the problem...
Hey, has anyone tried Voodoo? Better than ATI and nvidia?

1. Synthetic Benchmarks are crap, they don't say much about the card. The best indications are those in real modern games...
2. Drivers are really important. and i have to say, nvidias drivers are much, much beter than ati's... I have a 9800pro now, and i've had many driver problems wich i didnt have with my old ti4600. I now use the omega drivers and those are a lot better, but it isnt really a strong point of ati, that's for sure...
3. You're games will run as smoothly on a 6800ultra as on a x800xt... The difference in prestations is so minimal, that you dont really have to look at it...
4. That makes that other functions and technics about IQ instead of prestations are much more important...
5. Imho is the 6800GT the best of the moment if it comes on price/quality... If you have a lower budget, the 9800pro is still a very interesting card... And af course, the new generation of mid range cards will all be able to run your newest games on high resolutions and with a high IQ....
6. A big nono are the low budget thingies, like the old mx cards (wich were based on a geforce 2, dx7 ffs... a geforce 3 is much much better...). Then you had the fx5200 and radeon 9200 and now the 6200 and ati equivalent... These are nice cheap cards if you never play a game. If you are a gamer, you will have to pay a little bit mor for your graphics card...
7. Don't buy a high end card if you have a celeron proc or something similar. You won't be able to use your graphic cars power at full strengt because the proc will be the bottleneck... With a top range gfx card you need a fast modern (64 bit? :-)) proc...

I think GeForce MXs are not that good. I mean, it's ok for the price, but not for a die hard gamer like me
My FX 5700 has worked perfectly for me, except for some little graphic problems I have playing Winning Eleven 8.
And by comparing Ati and Nvidia, I guess the best way is to compare their latest cards.

i always thougt ATI's products it's the best for quality and 3d performances, and i still think this, but for some games i must admint that GeForce it's better
