I've had a 7800 GTX 256mb, a 7800 GTX 512mb, and now an x1800 XT 512mb.
I have to say, after everyone claiming ati had far superior IQ i am extremely disappointed.
The shimmering in COD2 is an eyesore with the x1800 XT... there was little to none with my GTX. This is with high IQ settings enabled.
The performance in some games is downright pathetic compared to the nVidia counterpart (AOE III, Stubbs the Zombie). People keep saying this will be fixed with newer drivers.. I'll be waiting.
The drivers are the biggest pain in the butt ever. With my GTXs I used to minimize games all the time, with ATi drivers every time I minimize a game it gives me an "Unrecoverable DirectX Error" when I try to re-enter. OCing is a royal pain in the rear.
Now for the good parts
I'm impressed that the minimum FPS rate in COD2 is just as good as it was on my GTX512, and the AA quality seems better. It sure as heck was a better deal, but it has some very major annoyances.
