depends what drivers you were using in the first place
if you aren't using atleast 67.03 then your behind in nvidia drivers
and if your not using cats 5.6 then you'll have troubles with some of the newer games
and i know that ATI are beating nvidia in games THAT ARE CODED FOR ATI
ETC
3dMARK03/05
Half Life 2
where as games such as Doom3 (opengl title) run much better on nvidia hardware due to nvidia cards having more more extensive stencil buffer support
you know it took 3 new releases before ATI was able to get doom 3's selective AA working properly
im not against ATI, im just pointing out they have problems
nvidia also has problems, its just usually far less,
also
Nvidia are running on lower clock speeds still. and are giving ati a run for thier money
i shall sit and wait for the 7800 Ultra to come out though
nvidia plan to release it after the R520 so they can smash it to bits
bout time nvidia had a plan
oh and chris
try running Farcry in HDR on ati hardware
won't happen
sm3.0 is a requirement
the x8000 is nothing but a revamp of old products.
if you wish to buy ati wait for the r5xx series
and atleast catalyst 5.8's
and DO NOT GET THE CATALYST CONTROL CENTRE
its does more worse then it does good and it requires .Net Framework 1.1 which it is very buggy on
most people have stated running CCC on .net framework 2.0 beta to be more stable and quicker
just a warning is all
