Er, I don't think they said nVidia cards are "worthless", they just said they can't run AA on HL2. Won't stop me from playing HL2 if I still have the 5800 when it comes out, I'll just play with AF only?
Why do you need to put him down Regs? So you have a 9800np, spending $300 measly bucks means you have the right to insult other members? Or does having a 9800np just make you want to belittle people who have slower cards than you?Looks like I need to get you a bigger shovel. Going to take a long time to shovel that shite for someone to believe it.
I have been away from this forum for a few weeks and it has really degenerated to a level I was not expecting. Grow up and have a logical conversation

If I order a 256MB R9800, should I put you down for cheaping out on the 128mb np? Would you like that?
I don't understand you fanATIcs.
Always looking for the benchmark that "proves" you have the "best" card, always looking for driver cheats to point at, always pointing out "huge" differences in IQ.
I went from a 9700pro to a 5800, the only place I can tell the difference is I could run higher AA/AF settings on the 9700Pro. I'm just as happy playing my games at the lower settings, so I haven't bought a 5900 or 9800 yet. (will probably wait till something better than either comes out, neither is a big enough difference to care)
If Stardust is happy with his 5600, why not let him be happy?
Personally, I couldn't be "happy" squinting at a tiny little 15" lcd that escaped from a laptop, but you don't see me saying "Hahaha Regs! WHATEVER settings I run at look a 100X better on my 20" viewable and 18" viewable CRTS!"

Why does any of this garbage about different graphics cards running HL2 and Doom3 matter? Realistically none of today's best hardware will be able to run both games at high res with FSAA and/or anisto. with good frame rates. I bet you will need a Prescott/A64, NV45/R450 to run it with a half way decscent frame rates. So I would stop worrying because your current hardware will probably not be able to handle it.
Yes, the 5900 owner is very bitter which in turn makes me very happy.

This is the kind of thing that makes no sense to me: "Haha, I'm happy you're dissatisfied"??
You must be a very small person indeed to not only take pleasure in someone else's sadness, but to actually think a person's choice of video card could affect their mood?!
Good lord.
Even the expensive ones are cheap enough that anyone who works in this country should be able to buy a new one every year. Beyond that, why would anyone be bitter about having a 5900? Because the ATI is faster at some benches?
I reiterate, a very small person indeed would be troubled by this- "Oh no! The 9800 has a litlle better IQ at it's top setting!"
The only video card owners who have reason to be bitter these days are guys like me that bought nV30s, only to have nVidia devalue them totally. (and it's still not enough money to get very worked up about)
I just thought of something! GASP!
I'VE BEEN PLAYING MY UT2003 AT 2X AA/4X AF BECAUSE THE 5800 ISN'T AS FAST AT THIS AS MY 9700 PRO WAS!!!!! AAaiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Oh cruel fate! How can a good guy like me have been brought so LOW?!?!? Can I look my son and wife in the eye, knowing that I run these settings? No. My coworkers and neighbors are talking too. Oh they don't come right out and say it, but I hear them snickering as I walk by, and catch pieces of their conversations like "2X", "5800", and "ordered grid, hahaha".
LOL

Apart from the obvious, ie, you wanting to start a flame war, your information is flawed.Originally posted by: videoclone
i'm waiting for the people at I.D to come out with a written letter stating that all ATI cards cant do FSAA in DOOM3 and drivers wont fix this and neither will us putting in the time to get rid of this bug and then nvidia will give I.D a big fat money bag.
I'll second that.Originally posted by: Lonyo
MODS: Delete this freaking thread. It is not based on any kind of information, nor does it make any benificial contribution to the world in any way.
All it is, is a troll post designed to do nothing but try and make a completely bogus point that makes no sense and the whole thread is worthless.
