Higher Video quality w/ ATI?

[superpandapower]

Hi,

I bought a BFG 6800GT last week and managed to play around with it over the weekend. It was great at games, but it seemed to me that the video quality for mpg and dvd videos wasn't as good as the 9800 pro I have. Does anybody else feel this way? Just wanted to see what other people think about this.

Anyways, the 6800GT is being returned and I'm gonna keep on going with the 9800 Pro till I can find a good deal on the x800 pro or xt.

I would appreciate any comments y'all have. Thanks.

This is where I'm going to buy my XT. Is this cheap enough for you?

What video decoders are you using? I'm using NVDVD 2.55, and with 61.77 drivers the PQ with video and DVD's are pretty good. The later beta drivers fubured my MPEG decoding.

ATI's video decoding looks excellent of course, but NV's is pretty good. Those new decoders they are working on are supposed to be excellent, I just hope I don't have to buy a $70 software just to use them.

Thanks for pointing me toward the ecost deal. It's sweet, but that's about $100 out of my price range so I guess I'll just wait for them to come down. Thanks again.

I haven't noticed it using the 66.31 drivers.
