in that case, the current mid-range DX10 cards from both ATI and nvidia are really crappy. HD 2400/2600, 8500/8600, they pretty much all suck when it comes to pure gaming performance, since an older and cheaper card like a nvidia 7900gs will run your games smootherchaos said:
Exactly. Outside of the 320MB 8800GTS (which can be had as low as $250 after rebate) there isn't anything of interest for gaming near the $200 mark right now.Fr3@k3r said:
Why do they suck? Why buy the 9xxx series when the 10xxx is around the corner... I think you need to re-read some benchmarks again.freakdiablo said:
Even better how? Is it because it passes audio over the HDMI cable / supports vc1 acceleration? What about image quality... the ATi 24/26xx series cards scored a 90/100 overall compared to Nvidia's 8xxx series which scored 100/100. The ATi cards lacked noise reduction. Also, if you look at benchmarks the Nvidia cards faired well with VC-1 so what exactly do ATi cards do that are even better than Nvidia?shirker said:
