About this post http://www.nvnews.net/#1003224163 with some ATI 8500 v/s Nvidia GF ti500 benchmarks.

I dont know what to believe, if the GF 3 is faster than radeon 8500 or its all a driver issue but i see clearly a performance winner wich is not what everybody says (Ati winner), i think GF 3 defeats Ati.

May be that ati is better in a performance/price relationship but the performance "crown" is now in gf 3 ti500 hands as i see.





 
funny eh? go to a nvidia site they show benchmraks of the radeon 8500 being lots slower than a ti 500. go to a ati siteu see benchmarks of them very close

sigh
 
I dunno.. is tom's considered an nv site again? it was, then it wan't, and now...?

toms's shows what pretty much everyone else has seen: great lighting, while other parts are not as good, but overall in line with gf.

real world games seem to be a different story however, with issues in aquanox, q3, ut, and giants so far.. I think garra is mostly right however; ati cannot claim the perfromance crown until they get driver issues resolved.. sounds rather familiar, doesn't it? and I though you're supposed to learn from previous mistakes...

then again, what happened with an ati rep claiming anand would be "pleasantly surprised"? perhaps tom didn't have latest driver?
 
I have a Rage Fury wich have a pretty good tv out but it´s performances it is not what it is supposed to be. I spent tons of time trying to get equal with my tnt 2 ultra friends, and what i got finally was disapointing bunch of useless drivers.

So, i would think twice before getting an ati again.

I thought ati has improve its driver division but with the tom benchmarks (which for me are a mess from ati), i came again to reality.

If i were ati i would invest more in drivers now, than getting higher clock rates.
