If you use DVI, clarity doesn't matter across the board unless you have a faulty card.

Based on my experience as I stated above that is definitely *not* the case, the ATI DVI is noticeably clearer.

Fact: DVI is outputting digital signal.

Provided that the digital signal with enough bandwidth to reach the resolution and refresh rate, the screen output are then totally depended on the monitor's decoder.

Given the same output digital signal and same monitor's decoder, there should not be any noticeable difference, at all.

I would guess that the noticeable difference are more likely be caused by the psychological biased.

PWNED twice. Very nice. :beer:

See my CPU forum thread for further PWNAGE.

thank you gunblade, i didn't feel like explaining all that to Bar as he most probably wouldn't bother listening to me anyway; but it is good to have the info in this thread.

That's a nice theory, and notice how you said SHOULD which means it's all ASSUMPTION and you know what they say... Unless you somehow have the ability to observe my experiences I would suggest you keep you theories to yourself. And that's exactly why I PREFACED THE STATEMENT with "based on my experience"

How could I doubt you're intelligence when you use cool speak like "PWNED" and "PWNAGE" :roll: The only thing that would scare me more is if I could somehow devolve into understanding you and your "logic"

haha bar is finally getting his ;) ill steer clear of the jabs.

DVI SHOULD look the same for all cards across the same brand with the same components.

VGA quality can vary dramatically.

Ironically Evga had image quality problems with their VGA with the NV30/35 series. It appears that current Evga owners of the NV40 series do not have this problem though.

ATi has traditionally carried the highest quality images, but the X800 series slips a bit in the 3d category, id like to see a direct 2d comparison done by someone.

ati cards have very good 2d, nvidia doesn't make cards. people that make cards with nvidia chips have varing quality control standards, and many of them don't stack up to ati's cards when it comes to 2d image quality. if you want a nvidia based card with 2d that stacks up to ati's stuff, i recomend leadtek.


You have no clue what you're talking about. NEITHER ATI or nVidia make their own cards. Rather they outsource them from places like TSMC. EVERY 6800 card is exactly the same as they are ALL outsourced by nVidia themselves; the only thing the respective companies add is the cooler. Later on, individual companies will begin to outsource their own cards based on their own design but that isn't now. Get your facts straight before you spout your nonsense.


since when did TSMC start makeing anything but chips? or are you the one that has trouble keeping his facts straight? :D


Learn what outsourcing means. Try www.dictionary.com

And the D!(KHE@D of the week award goes tooooo....... BAR81... Congratulations Bar, what are you gonna do next? Kudos.

I think we should nickname him "Mr. Personality". :D


I just can't believe it, the genius himself siding with the rest of the morons :shocked: This is so inconceivable! The morons sticking together. I've got to say I'm absolutely shocked :roll:

You're a real bitch Bar81. You DID say that TSMC made the cards. "You have no clue what you're talking about. NEITHER ATI or nVidia make their own cards. Rather they outsource them from places like TSMC." If you cannot use clear language to express yourself then you should resort to bashing, flaming, and trolling.

Oh wait you already did.
