Image quality Who is better

[Lonbjerg]

Ati cards historically were known for warmer color saturation which on early monitors looked a bit brighter and more pleasing to the eye.
I note BF2 looked a little pale and a bit faded with NVDA cards of the time.
These days the IQ between either vendor seems very similar.
On my monitor, which is known for good IQ it's pretty much a wash between them.

You confuse 3rd party RAMDAC's with GPU's.......from before NV25...bravo!!!

This is how long the Red Defense Team thinks topics are valid:
+12 years...

OP, post your monitor...if anything but a high END CRT...I will laugh my ass of about your perception of image qualtiy.

 

[tweakboy]

Same. No noticeable difference in graphics quality. But also matters on your panel settings. thx

Some pictures from that thread:

Does it look like nvidia is "missing things" to anyone else?

That is what I orginally thought, but apparently those are at different times of the day so shops are closed.. hence their lights are off.

@Xarick

Does that effect the light effects on the ground as well in the 3rd picture?
Or the "wet" look in the forth on the ground too?

Also if this was a time of day thingy, doesnt that give a edge to nvidia? for benchmarking purposes?

 

[Xarick]

Yes the time of day affects (and weather) all that stuff. Light on the ground from another light.
Don't know about benchmarking.

LOL not a dinosaur CRT fanboy too?

Oh...it's just too much,make him stop! lolol :biggrin:

Wow, an investigation could be useful to see if NV is cutting corners to increase FPS.

Just think IQ vs. FPS, sound familiar?

Thanks for posting those screen shots!

When I watched the videos, that one did stand out as looking different. The time of day may be the difference, but it could also be different settings too. I know the other videos were the same, but that one did have some differences.

The time of day is different in the game, flawed test, so nothing to see.

I am not buying the time of the day as the reason for the second screen shot down differences but thats just imo.

What do you think is happening?

 

[BallaTheFeared]

It almost looks like Nvidia is applying more DOF, but it was hard to tell what was what since colors are different on each setup and the stuttering of the 7950s was pretty distracting.

Skyrim: 7950 looks smoother, but has more screen tears.
Sleeping dogs: 660ti looks smoother.
Battlefield 3: 7950 looks smoother, but has more screen tears.

I agree, for some reason the 660ti SLI setup does better (more smooth) in Sleeping dogs (a AMD title right?)
than the 7950's in Crossfire.

AMD needs to do something about the screen tearing, its apparnt to me that they have more of them than Nvidia does.

missing the transform and lighting feature. somone turn off TnL on the nvidia? obviously nvidia support TnL. looks like someone is on amd's payroll.

 

[Xarick]

I watched the farcry one.. and ATI has some serious shadow problems in that game. Of course the game itself is a mess..

After watching them over and over.. I can conclude that if they weren't side by side I wouldn't know.

Show me better I.Q, than a highend CRT...I dare you.

 

[biostud]

I have a NEC 27inch display (2560x1440) with color calibrator. I have been using this display with both Nvidia and ATI gpu. Even before calibration I don't see much difference between two cards. After calibration, there is no difference at all.

The difference in the pics are software/driver related but color accuracy should be the same when calibrated, since it all runs digital. (AFAIK)

 

[bystander36]

Since I've never seen much difference in any other side by side comparison, my guess is either a setting doesn't work on Nvidia, they accidentally used different settings, or the time of day made a difference in that particular game.

 

[Cloudfire777]

Wouldn`t be the first time a reviewer screw things up.

 

[Skurge]

Lol at the nv defence force calling out the AMD cards for stuttering when the geforces had stuttering issues before the radeons and still do to a smaller extent today. BF3 anyone?

With comments like that it's obvious your funny old CRT monitor has a higher IQ than you.:whiste:

SLI might not be perfect, but what are you talking about?

Keep in mind, drivers issues do happen, but the crossfire issue is more of a general one.

It's the same with cpus, live in the past - glory days so to speak.
