The image quality is better. I cant say this from personnal experience. But I have seen screens rendered on both cards and the ATi image is better.....Ill see if I can find that review....


You cannot prove this from screenshots

ATI has less shimmering, that is the ONLY difference. If anything NVIDIA's AA quality is better. That I CAN say from experience

I can tell it from screen shots....Look at these two pics of the same spot in HL2.

ATi... http://www.bit-tech.net/content_images/...hire_radeon_x1800xl/x1800xl-16hqaf.jpg

Nvidia... http://www.bit-tech.net/content_images/sapphire_radeon_x1800xl/7800gt-16afhq.jpg

Look where the crosshair's are...

Um, duh...that is using HQ AF, NVIDIA cards dont have it...

that means that nvidia admitted that they cant create a single gpu that is powerful enough unless its supported by another one ****LOL**** i would expect this from nvidia since there will only be 24 pipes in the 7900

That's like saying Intel couldn't create a cpu powerful enough, so they offer xeon as a dual cpu config. :roll:

Wow, that X1800 is looking good.
What is ATI's next card after the X1900 and is there an ETA for it? I'm going to skip the 7900/X1900 generation and it looks like ATI may get my money next time around.

Then what is the excuse in ( I think Far Cry ) and other games that the black shadow over the gun barrel and it isnt present on Ati hardware ?

I believe the next batch of cards are July-Sep time.
No one can be 100% sure though.

I did a quick google search for R600 and found this:
According to recent news, originating in Canada, spread on a few hardware forums the new ATI R600 chip will be released around November/December 2006. The full specs include a stunning 64 shader pipelines, GDDR4 memory and will be built on 65 nm. The full specs leaked are as follows:

65nm
64 Shader pipelines (Vec4+Scalar)
32 TMU's
32 ROPs
128 Shader Operations per Cycle
800MHz Core
102.4 billion shader ops/sec
512GFLOPs for the shaders
2 Billion triangles/sec
25.6 Gpixels/Gtexels/sec
256-bit 512MB 1.8GHz GDDR4 Memory
57.6 GB/sec Bandwidth (at 1.8GHz)
WGF2.0 Unified Shader


If Hellgate: London comes out before then, I may not be able to wait! Oh well when the time comes I'll worry about it.

Someone show some screens of Fear during the slow motion effect.
It highlights the bump/spec quite a bit
