I'm also curious about this. I believe most DVD player software have a deinterlace, such as Powerdvd, therefore 480P. The only way I know to show DVD's at 720P or more involved using FFDShow and I think either Zoom Player Pro or Theatre something. Ah found it...

Cool, thanks for work BFG10K.

What about Ati 4xAA vs Nv 4xAA on an image with alot of jaggies??? Cause I wont be running 16, 8 or 6 AA on any game. Maximum 4.

Can we see those samples?? Cause I'm upgrading my 6800gt soon and was going towards Ati, just want to see how the AA's compare. Thanks in advance BFG10K.

Well I have to conclude BFG10K has certainly opened my eyes a little. The important thing about the post is not ATI vs Nvidia, but the drop in FPS for Nvidia High Quality. Now when I see benchies with Quality set on Nvidia drivers I just take off roughly 8-10 FPS of the result.

Agreed. Then again you dont seem to favour ATI according to your sig. Anyways I've tested Quality and High Quality on Oblvion from the Stables outiside of the main city. Looking down on the bridge there is heaps of shimmering with Quality, then I switched to High Quality, and it...

The Lord said: " There is another way, a way where one can have HDR and AA in one, but in an Nvidia graphics card" The poor man asked: "How can that be possible my Lord, please show us the way." The Lord said: "You must believe, you must have faith, my child"...

Very Interesting. I didnt realize High Quality removed shimmering, I might give it ago. The benchmarks are a little off, cause he has only chosen one specific resolution per game to prove 800XL can beat or be close to the 7800gt. According to the recent Anandtech article about driver...

Will there be an option for 2D desktop?? I'm assuming yes, cause its a bad move to go 3D only.

sapphire x1800xt retail = $249US -> $329AU In Aus http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=1800xt+sapphire $777AU Now how come us Aussies are getting ripped of so badly Cheapest 1800xt card I found in Aus was Powercolor for $489...

What happens if you apply AA?

I tried using nHancer with Supersampling 2x2 and 4x4 with HDR with no avail on Oblivion. Oblivion overrides any forced AA applied on either nHancer or Nvidia Controls. I'll probably try Far Cry later on, but then again I have to install it and patch it. Oh and about aussie prices, I'm not...

Ive done alot of thinking, and the result is: Given up on HDCP. Do just a GPU and PCI-E motherboard upgrade, and wait a year for full upgrade (Conroe/AMD + Vista + HDCP Monitor + HD-DVD player + DX10 GPU + DDR2RAM). By then most of these things would have matured . Now its 1900xt ($720)...

Been doing some research since I last replied. http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvi...ce_7900_gt_gtx_performance/default.asp You guys may have seen this already, but the x1800xt 256MB beats 7900gt 256MB stock on mostly shader intesive games. On the other hand Nvdia wins in OpenGL...
