Is there something new here that I missed?

Exactly.

ATI: Our cards are faster; 9550, 9250 and X700 are great cards.

Nvidia: Our cards are faster; FX5200 and 6600's are great cards.


What is new/surprising about both companies' propaganda?

the X700 series could really "win" if they were offered in AGP form before the 6600GT is.

And vice versa. But it doesn't look like it's going to happen for either company - both cards are strictly PCI-e for the moment, unfortunately .

Quite the entertaining read. In keeping with the marketing tradition they shied away from the one thing that could really hurt even their top of the line cards: SLI.

I always enjoy reading internal presentations like these. It's interesting to see how the two big companies work on the inside.

It's the bullshit presentation in response to a bullshit presentation. Nothing to see here.

Somehow this makes me think of the iraqi information minister "There are no americans in bagdad they are burning in their tanks" etc ...

I wonder if we'll see the X700 or 6600GT available on AGP cards before we'll see Athlon 64 boards with PCI-e. One way to find out, I guess, and that is to wait. And wait. And wait *P

i just saw the nvidia slides, just as pathetic as the ATi slides IMO

Fun read.

Just two competitive companies messin with each other. But if I had to decide, the benches speak for themselves. At the time of the X700's release, the 6600GT was the more impressive card.

Thanks for the early morning laugh!

If anything, it does say that ATI thinks the 4.10 drivers do improve performance significantly.
