Chief said:Thank you to the few that gave decent input.Now how about we do the board a favor and let this thread R.I.P ?
micamica1217 said:mmmmm.....the 5900u
what do I think about it.
it all starts with nVidia.......
1) discrediting 3dMark03 because NV Hardware ran poorly
2) Cheating in 3dMark03 to inflate benchmark scores by insering clipping planes, doing partial z-clears, and substituting shaders
3) cheating in UT2003, most used benchmark, to inflate scores
4 discrediting Websites that reported the cheats
5) discrediting FRAPS as unreliable as a benchmarking tool after Reviewers started using it to bench games not normally used as benchmarks and therefore not optimized for by Nvidia
6) Nvidia encodes driver to defeat anti-cheat scripts that show driver cheats in popular benchmarks.
7) Coerce Eidos into dropping v.49 patch to Tomb Raider because imbedded benchmark module would have shown all users just how poorly NV hardware runs the game even though the patch fixed many game issues as well for Customers. Nvidia says F*** the customer. ... "The Way YOUR meant to be Played"
8) ask websites to test NV hardware with beta drivers that have broken functions and effects and poor image quality, but do run certain widely benchmarked Games faster?

plagerizing my List mica? You could at least give credit to the author....Me
Imagine, something I posted being quoted! Whats the world coming to?
As for the comments you got Chief...the facts are the facts, take heed. Would you rather be told the truth about it and maybe save yourself from a large mistake, or have us blow smoke up your *** like Nvidia has been doing for the last 10 months? If you just wanted a pat on the back for your insightful choices in Video cards, your looking in the wrong place.
If your just going to run DX7/8 games, save a few bucks and get a Ti4200, If you want to be able to play the latest DX9 title when it's ready, Get an ATI card. it's a no brainer!
Otherwise I don't want to see you b****** and moanin in a couple of months about how crappy your 5900 Lite is running some DX9 game half as fast as an ATI card that prob cost less. Caveat Emptor!

Darryl_D said:hmmmmmmmmm why spend 50 some dollars on a fx5900 you must be rich man!!!! If you ahven't bought a cardyet and want something in that price range look at the ati radeon 8900xt.... its like the best graphics card out right now..... if that's any incentive..... basically when buying a video card i look at what can give me the most for my money... and right now nvidia cards aren't doing too good perforamnce wise....
