but it was a nice read before work
"Even though ATI considerably improved performance of the RADEON X800-series graphics cards in FarCry’s “Pure Mode”, NVIDIA’s GeForce 6800 Ultra still can claim performance leadership here, as in quite a lot of cases speed delivered by the GeForce 6800 Ultra is a bit higher compared to the rivalling RADEON X800 XT".

I do like the ATI pics better then the nVidia ones in SM3.0, too many BLACK trees in the SM3.0 shots.....BLACKNESS.
but that's just me...

That doesn't make any sense, there are "dark" trees right in amongst the "light" trees, as well as there being no shadow on any of the other foliage nor the ground. Why would the ground be at normal brightness but a tree be dark?Sentential said:Thats PS3 at work. If you look closely, that is the shadow cast from the clouds onto the trees <not kidding>
What are you talking about? Did you even look at the screenshots that were linked? There are these arbitrary trees scattered throughout the scene that look like they were spraypainted BLACK. It's not justification or rationalization, it's called OBSERVATION.coldfusion71 said:there is not any difference between the 2 cards, certain people claim to see a diffrence but they are only trying to justify thier purchase.

Hopefully this will help clear up when peeps ask is my CPU limiting a 6800/X800. You notice that outside is very CPU limited and the fps hardly changes between the res. However inside, where alot of shaders are used, especially for the lighting, the GPU carrys alot of the FPS and there is a huge diff between the res.
