Best darn graphics card

[seanbee20]

Yeah i have seen it, i think 22,000 + is the highest ever, when i reach those scores, in about a year and a half sadly, but i am cool, i am getting over 350 frames per second on some of the tests, and when playing nba live 2003, i have to turn down my video card, players are moving too quickly ;D

And what interesting to note is that this is the lowest version of the 9800 pro, it has 128Mb as opposed to the 256 version which we all drool over.

sweeet ;D

[seanbee20]

Thanks ;D

Skillachi, would love to see what the ti4600 has, do some benchmarks and let me know

[Skillachi]

Yow really this might sound country but i really dont know how to do the benchmark things. Tell me how to do it and i will do it

[seanbee20]

You will have to download a benchmarking software, the most used is 3dmark2001 which can be found at www.futuremark.com, install the software and just click benchmark, and it will run your video card through a series of tests and at the end, show you your score

I support Nvidia all the way......ATi makes good Video Editing Cards but Nvidia is made for Gaming. I have proven that time and Time again. Nvidia drivers are rock solid stable....unlike ATi. So my money and vote goes to Nvidia. I have a Geforce 4 Ti4600 from MSI and its Damn good with all my Games. My other friends have the 9700 and trust my in some games like UT 2K3, C&C Generals they cannot compare to the Geforce 4. I must say that ATi has made a Damn good comeback in the Graphics Arena. But Nvidia still rules to me......I'm gonna post my benchmark scores soon as I run a new benchmark test. Oh all my benchmark scores are done with my system components running at their native stock speeds.....(cpu/gpu/fsb/memory etc)......I do not do benckmarks in an overclocked state as I just think that's too much stress on my systems components.....remember benchmarking stresses your systems components so be careful when doing it.

Your brethren mussi have a messed up 9700 or he is still using the drivers that came with the video card , no disrepect but they is no way a geforce can outperform a 9700 in unreal, i have seen about a 1000 comparisons and have never seen a geforce even close to the ati in that game, better you had said a game like serious sam or doom but not unreal, and when you say that nvidia is built for games, i will have to disagree, in my opinion nvidia is by far a more all-around card but ati is built for gaming, try running a geforce with 6x anti-aliasing and 16x anistropic filtering, then you will see the difference, and as far as drivers are concerned, that is a issue of the past, for the past year, ati has made a commitment to delivering quality drivers and delivered they have (remember ati was the first to support direct x 9 - a day after microsoft released it to the public, nvidia only did so with the release of fx, some months after) - well this is a never ending debate, which will always be divided, but i seanbee am willing to back my talk with anybody on this forum, show me a geforce that can outperform my radeon and i will sell it for little or nothing and get a geforce, (except the fx of course), anybody post some benchmarks and will gurantee i can top it, i will even turn down my processor speed and benchmark stock, and in closing remember geforces are my *****es!!!!!

I rest my case
