ATI 9600 xt vs nvidia 5700fx ultra review at AMD HARDWARE

[cindy22]

this recent review was dated on Dec.18,2003
The article reviews both mainstream video cards from ati and nvidia.

it shows ati 9600xt winning in most test and sometimes by a large margin.
the article also writes:

"In addition to the DirectX performance, the Radeon 9600XT also has superior texturing as seen in our anisotropic filtering tests in Halo. The textures look sharper and richer than the same scene rendered on the FX5700 Ultra. Anti-aliasing quality is slightly better than that on the FX5700 Ultra"

"The FX5700 Ultra's texturing quality is a bit worse compared to the Radeon 9600XT: the textures a bit more flat and not as defined. Anti-aliasing quality is pretty good, though a little rough when compared to the Radeon 9600XT in instances. Overall, image quality is good, but not as good as the image you would get from the Radeon 9600XT.

In terms of value, the FX5700 Ultra may leave you wanting more. Because the DirectX performance is pretty poor compared to the similarly priced Radeon 9600XT, you will find yourself wanting to upgrade sooner than someone with the Radeon. However, this isn't a big concern if you're not planning on keeping the FX5700 Ultra for long or if you only play OpenGL games (which is very hard to do in my opinion)."

All off NewEgg....

9600XT- $172(not in stock on this model, $175 for the cheapest in stock)

9700Pro- $238

5700Ultra- $179

5900SE- $189

5900- $219

Anyone thinking about either of the over priced mid tier parts should do themselves a favor and really think about the under priced high end parts instead

Yeah, that's what I would do. Unless I only had $150 to spend I would stay away from the midrange cards.

Lots of people post threads to point out reviews they like. Why antagonize this user? :|

Cause this user constantly posts fanboy garbage. At any rate, I would much rather get a 5900nu for just a few $$ more than either of these cards.

The 5900SE is definantly the best performance for the price I have heard it can be overclocked between 5900 and 5900U levels

Well i've got a 5700 Ultra NOW, will this card carry my sorry @ss until PCI-XPRESS?

 

[Keysplayr]

This card will carry your sorry @ss all the way through Doom III decently.
Much improved over the 5600 of any flavor. I was looking to get one myself if I can find one cheap enough.

He is giving some good advices in another threads and this isn't like a "Ati always is better" thread. He has posted a review that's all. If you don't like just don't have a look at it. GZFant, I've seen some good advices from Cindy22, but not from you....

Edit: I recognize he is biased towards Ati but not to tell him to go out.

 

[SneakyStuff]

Your review shows the Radeon 9600XT winning, take a look at some other reviews around, you will notice that some of them put the 9600xt to shame, the overall consensus tho is that the 2 cards are neck and neck performance wise.

Christ I am sick to death of cindy22

If you search her posts you come up with exactly the same mind-numbing series of posts on exactly the same topic.

I don't think she's a real person, I think she's a bot that was created to automatically post pro-ATI garbage whenever it detects the words ATI in any thread.

Be afraid... be very afraid...:beer:
