7800gs vs 5900ultra

[Doods]

Well i just bought a 7800gs and i must say that i think it sucks the IQ is not as good as the 5900 ultra i have and after i buy it i read that they cut back ion IQ for speed..... go figure......

Yeah all sorts of cheats to make fast make IQ worse. Try setting "image settings" to "high quality"

The 7800gs AGP is severely capped back compared tot he GT. However, I'd think it would still crush a 5900Ultra.

7800GS:

375Mhz core clock
1200Mhz memory clock
256bit memory interface
256MB memory
16 pixel pipelines

5900 Ultra:

400Mhz core clock
850 Mhz memory clock
256bit memory interface
128MB memory
8 pixel pipelines

See. Even though the 5900Ultra has 25 more Mhz core clock it dont mean s*** for the fact that the gs has twice the pixel pipelines. Even if the gs is an anemic version of the gt, it would pound the ultra into the ground in almost anything.

The FX series might have good filtering, but you make no sense. The 7800GS should be 3 times as fast as a 5900 ultra. Quite literally as the 6800ultra was that much faster than the 5900 ultra. Im sure the FX series had 4 pixel pipelines, 2 TMUs per pipeline. The IQ on the 7800GS should be much better with better AA modes/enhancements etc.
