We love you Anand.

When I have an income and CC I will definately subscribe.

One of my friends thought it was unfair the way you used different perf/quality modes with the different cards, I say well done. It's more equal benching with equal image quality than equal driver settings, as both drivers will be different.

apoppin and ReMeDy{WcS} well in my opinion i think the Geforce FX is ok but i think future games like doom 3, etc will tell how good both the ATI 9700 pro and Geforce FX really is. I guess time will tell! I think ATI 9700 pro has its strengths and the GeforceFX has its strengths. I would like to say well done Nvidia and ATI! I don't like the noise level of either video card but the Geforce FX is very loud it seems. Then again it may not be as loud when its in your computer itself. What will be real interesting is the next 2 video cards by Nvidia and ATI!

Thank you once again Anandtech for putting minimum fps on the Geforce FX vs ATI 9700 pro review! I couldn't believe you did it till i read it a few times! So happy and thankful that you did that. Thank you so much 1 million + more times! Also thank you everyone else who helped make minimum fps possible by making a demand for it! Thank you you all 1 million + more times too!

One think i am wondering is why did Anandtech not record minimum fps at 1600x1200 on unreal 2003 and the other games ? :( Thats really strange.

I think the most surprising fact of these results is that the FX does much poorer than the 9700 Pro when it comes to minimum framerates. And I don't think it's because of drivers, I think it's because of a lack of memory bandwidth.

Probably time constraints. NV didn't exactly give a lot of time to bench this beast.

I also enjoyed the min. bench figures even though I don't live and die by the numbers anymore.

Ditto on the thanks for the min framerate comparisons. Hopefully there will be more in future reviews (like Serious Sam in both OGL & D3D).

Thank you for including minimum framerate numbers. However, it is very interesting to me that in the Anandtech review, the 9700 Pro destroys the FX. But in Tom's review, he shows in his only graph Page that the FX trounces the 9700 Pro. Maybe its because the FX works better with the nforce2 mobo that Tom used or maybe its because the 9700 Pro works better with the Intel mobo that Anand used. Many of you might say that its because Tom is in idiot. Many of you will say I'm an idiot. While I can't prove that I'm not an idiot, I will say that Tom's average framerate numbers match very closely to what the boys at Hardocp got, so maybe his numbers are accurate.

There's always a caveat!

But, nice job, Anand.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read the review! Thanks Anand for letting this issue come to light.
