wurm- "I am personally getting the 5900 cause I prefer using the extra AA features that ATI lacks"

What premise is this fallacy based on?

Every review and nvidiot around concedes that ati's fsaa is MUCH better than nvidia's, do you mean AF?

Get the 9800 Pro for sure. It's the fastest card out there and ..............

Not by much. It is all down to personal preferance. Both win some and lose some.
 
Slightly off topic, but does anyone know of a utility to overclock the 5900 Ultra back to 500 MHz? I know you can do it with Gainwards drivers, but I'm not sure if my eVGA card is exactly the same as the Gainward's...

ATIs FSAA is better looking. nVidia FSAA goes upto 16x, ATIs only goes upto 6x.
nVidia AF is better looking. ATIs AF goes upto 16x, nVidias only does upto 8x.
 
9800Pro!!! Better AA + Aniso performance, better IQ, MORE OVERCLOCKABLE!!! (Thats a major advantage if you ask me!) Red PCB (I personally love that about ATI cards!) Ok, Ok, ignore the last one. But I agree with the majority, get the 9800Pro.
