inferiority... lol.

ATI has a better card right now. before it was nvidia. then ati before that then nvidia again. They flip flop back and forth more times then a ping pong ball. Who the hell cares?

you know much of the time. they are fighting over hey, ATI can pull 120 FPS while the nvidias can pull 100.

i mean WTF, anything above 60 is unnoticable anyway. who cares once they get into that high of range?

Much of the time its in the drivers, others in the other system specs of the computer itself.

Whats the point of this topic anyway? to show which gfx card can run a horrible game better?




And ATI gunna release a special package with thier newer radeon card.... bundled together with Half-Life 2

if they do it at the right price, and on the same day the game launches. i might pick up that.

I'm for ATI no matter what I'm not really worried about frame rates or whatnot. I just like the way ATI works.

Im now an ATI fan also...their stuff thats the same price or cheaper seems to outperform Nvidia's from what I cant tell. And this news about teh Geforce's not running HL2 very well makes me even more happy I went with ATI over Nvidia. HL2 is my most anticipated game on any console.

indeed. when your worrying over frame rates that are that high. it really doesnt matter which.

i always prefer nvidia cuz thier drivers run smoother and easier usually.

but i might pick up the ati bundle with half life 2. i'd like to have a DX9 card for the right price.

I might upgrade my card someday...*shrugz* ...but there's all that technical mumbo jumbo garbage to handle, will it work with your mobo, blah blah blah...then there's physically installing the thing, which Im not sure how to do exactly...ive heard its not too difficult though...basically just plug it in or sumthin....and then I've also heard that as long as your card is a 128MB, it really wont improve games much...its more your processor...or sumthin...

processor effects how the game runs more.

GFX card effects how the game looks. jumping to a new card gives you more special effects, clearer sharper textures, things like that.

part of the reason i wanted a DX9 card is to get a few of the extra details and special effects from half life 2.

it wont make a HUGE difference. but would just be cool to see
