Ati Will Always Rule Over Nvidia!!

Ahaha the 5900 doesn't even outperform the 9800 128 how sad

http://www.gamersdepot.com/hardware...desktop/001.htm

ATI FANS UNITE AND BASH NVIDIA LOL

yeah true, but nvidia once ruled ati (then came the 8500), and before that 3Dfx ruled (then came TNT)... maybe bitboys will be next to rule them all?

ATI is Get in the Game, why Nvidia is the way is meant to be (dis)played (used)

http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030512/index.html

Unfortunately you are wrong. I trust Tom's Hardware much more than GameDepot. Not by much, but NVidia is still on top with cards in the future to dominate ATI.

ATI has incredible TERRIBLE drivers for LINUX and MAC, 3D pretty much does not work and ATI support for drivers even for WINDOWS SUX:

I have ATI Mobility 7500 video in my laptop and these suckers don't make drivers for their MOBILITY chipsets and the fuc**** DELL only has drivers for XP, 3rd party drivers don't work even on windows 2000!!


nVidia ->> is very good, drivers for everything ready and their are cards are very close in competition and price.

I have 9700 Pro in my desktop and it heats up like a crazy mother******, my room is boiling and I even have 3 fans cooling it too.

Rofl maybe your overclocking it without a cooler.. and may I suggest you update them to 3.7 or maybe get the omega drivers.. And remember ati is just starting to get it compatible with linux and mac.. since nvidia tried to take over.

If you want performance just get Ati

yujie will explain heheh..

Well actually John Carmack from Doom can explain he's having trouble making doom perform smoothly with nvidia ahhah.

I have not gotten any trouble with Ati and I built it myself. I was an nvidia user like you but I switched to Ati for best performance. And no it doesn not heat up and I have 3 fans inside even with one fan off it wouldn't make a difference. Maybe you stuck it in wrong. Or just like you said your room is boiling so of course its going to heat up.. you should read the prints on all computers "must keep at room temperature"

BASICALLY, ATI ONLY WORKS WELL WITH 2 OPERATING SYSTEMS, THAT IS:

WINDOWS 2000
WINDOWS XP

AND ALL OTHER OS's are ignored, it does work in 98SE and ME, but extremely crapily, even with your 3.7 or Omega drivers, same shit.

NOW, ATI makes a lot of mobile graphics from 7500 and on, and they give 0 support on them, they simply don't give a fuck about the customers.

Now, their cards are unusable even in Windows 2000 Server or in Windows 2003 Server, simply no fucking support whatsoever.


Bottom line, with ATI you get stuck on 2 OS's, and the lack of any support for LINUX and most other Windows OSs makes this card in 99.9% useless.

Now about heating up, the 9700 Pro and 9800 Pro heat up like a mother******, and don't argue, these cards are super hot, esp if u play for straight 8 hours.

Taking everything in consideration, nVidia is competing very well.

you must got a dud card then ahahah I play more then you.. I beta test for atari and I stay like 14 hours at least a day..

And my friend has the sager laptop with the mobility and he doesn't have a problem.. wow aren't you in a pitch of luck. But anyways the drivers are great. One thing for sure, you need to research more on what you do then just stick it in and thinking it would work for that OS. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will this. You need to start upgrading.. This is now not the past. Heck you think people would care if you have an old card? No.. Its whats now that matters to them. I have a Geforce 1 and I ask for help and what they say "Oh I'm sorry sir we don't support geforce anymore, but if you download the latest drivers it might able to fix it" Hah and thats what I did so basically I said to myself ok I guess time to get a new card.

But my final say to this is that if you want performance get ATI if you don't give a damn then just stick with what fits you. Thats basically what this thread is about. That ATI has better quality then Nvidia and that Nvidias Pixel Shader which is important for performance is slow as F*ck. Thats why Doom 3 is being pushed back to next year. Nvidia was always good at getting into people's heads.. heck I have to say their marketing is good. They are like macs with the G5s how insanely fast it would be. Makes people believe and buy it but underneath that its not pretty. Get my drift :P

what have u been smoking or living under? nvidia shot itself in there foot many many times this year. they "cheat" on 3dmark03 not once, twice or thrice but 4 or 5 times. they denied they were cheating on lots of benchmarks. when futuremark found both companies were cheating ati admitted it and removed it while nvidia denied it an called it "optimization" and "bride" futuremark about there cheating. they even brag about 3dmark03 in there conference called even tho they dont believe in it that much . they linux because not many people game on them or just htem as much. its call supply and demand. you get to stuck on mostly 1 platform for nvidia too. thats where the money is for the big two.

ati have been in the mobile and server business alot longer than nvidia. there cards are much more optimize for laptops and faster than nvidias. even games with Nvidia logo's are perform much better than nvidias.

tomshardware is not as reliable as it was. he used standard benchmark that everyone useds and that are optimized easily by nvidia. in real games, nvidia loses more than 70% of them. go check out recent reviews on gamepc.com, beyond3d.com ( real programmers go chat in the forums, very techinical), hardocp. they show nvidia lossing in real games

radeons are not hot. they are cool and more mature than nvidias. my 9700np oc to 400/300 with no problem at all. much better buy than any FX card out there and back.

AMEN

Wait until the NV35 and NV40. I've seen and talked to many people who are testing these cards and say the performance is incredible. Nvidia has been falling behind due to mass production required for Xbox. Microsoft has signed up ATI for XBox 2, so it will be interesting to see how they are bable to handle the large quanity required to meet numbers. I agree in many things ATI is a more powerful card, yet there software SUX. There is so much optimization needed on ATI's part. Nvidia is excellent about updates keeping them on top of ATI's performance. I'm not sold on either one, but right now I'm leaning towards Nvidia because they are finding ways to make the current games peform best. I find that much better than a temporary overpowering. It's just like Intel and AMD fighting it out. Intel tries to brute force things while AMD finds ways to make it work more efficiently.

Remeber Ati is awlays the underdawg because Nvidia is known to be standard on all system

Anyway the point of this is not whats ahead its whats now and what nvidia is doing. They are cheating.. even a 9600 can pull jack on a 5900 fx. Thats whats this thread is about.. I don't care if nvidia is making another hardware the case here is that Nvidia lied and cheated and shows that the FX suck crap against the radeons. There is no excuse on that.. if they are saying because of the XBOX then well they really did screw themselves over because thats cheating everyone into buying their stuff and they don't care about the performance or how the games should go as long as it meets a standard requirment. Ati made nintendos graphics card while they were making their radeons so I don't think thats an excuse for a setback in Nvidia's production.

Nvidia had their chance to pull the FX ahead but it failed.. I myself looked forward to the 5800 FX, but man seriously two pci slots and didn't even slay the 9700 and it sounds like a vaccum. Look at the 9800, same architecture with a better fan now tell me whois thinking straight here. They have no excuses in saying oh cuz of this and that we were left back they had more then enough time to come up with a better card but they.. :wacked out: And that my friend is why I got pissed off. Notice they are more heavily on their marketing. You see Nvidia in every single damn page of a magazine. Ati has like one or 2 and thats it.

ummm.........the nv35 is the fx5900. the r360 comes out sometime this month with hl2 and is high recommended by the people who design Hl2. the game was running on a radeon9800 pro during the E3.

And the 9700 pro has tested slightly lower than the GeforceFX 5900 Ultra. ATI is much better than Nvidia. The benchmarks prove it. The 9800 pro(128mb) out did the 5900 ultra and the 9800 pro(256mb) is going to beat it by a wide margin and it still has a lower clock frequency than the 5900 ultra.

I'm a linux newbie and I find the ATI AIW Radeon 7500 works best with Red Hat 9. I tried Mandrake and Red Hat for a Geforce 4 MX and I get super slow gameplay for UT and Q3.

Is there a way I could configure X to work the card better or is it just a shitty card this Nvidia?

My R9700Pro rapes the 5900

I know thats true for linux, but not sure about Mac. I'll have to look into this, cause I'm considering getting a powerbook. I'm going for the 12" w/ the GeForce FX Go 5200 (32MB DDR)... but leaning towards the 15" w/ ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 (64MB DDR) now. It'll help out in a few games... yes GAMES! Quake 3, and Warcraft 3 is good enough for me, plus its for school

Hmm depending which Dell laptop you got, it may only be for XP. My friend just got one, and he cant even get 2000 installed

their nforce drivers arent that great from what I hear. also ATI's drivers have gotten better. I just switched from a nvidia to ATI cardrecently, let me just say, I havnt had any problems at all.

If Microsoft doesnt care or support 98 (and i think ME as well) why should ATI care? Basicaly M$ is not working on 9x DX so ATI has no backing.

Server ...enough said. The next windows client version wont be out until next year or 2005, code named Longhorm. Actually you do know that most server motherboards come with ATI video onboard? if they werent stable they would obvisouly not be there, and just use intel's onboard video.

since when did linux need a GUI? just use the console

I bet they are hot, but nvidia's cards are to. Have you heard them? their fan sounds like a jet engine. Maybe you just need better case circulation.

I said this about 3Dfx back in the day... where are they now

the fact that hl2 is comin bundled with ati cards, nvidia are doomed!

IF hl2 gets released anytime soon...

hell i wont even discuss a certain fanboy phenonmena here|

so if Nvidia paid more to Valve than ATI, so FX cards could come bundle with HL2, would that mean ATI is doomed!?
