So anyway, surprised no one has posted here to discuss the NVIDIA GeForce 6800. This thing beats the ATI in every way possible. In some cases it can even double the 9800XT's performance. http://www.nvidia.com/page/pg_20040406661996.html here's a nice spec sheet NVIDIA gave us. It can get steady frame rates with heavy anti-aliasing and that other AT stuff. In other words look at this here review, they have a lot of specs in future pages: http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=2023

So to sum it up before I hit "post", I hate NVIDIA always will, always have. The ATI cards shall always win! Speaking of ATI they are set to release their next card very soon. Let's hope that this like this NVIDIA it will have off the bat mac support.

Here's to Apple making the NVIDIA card.

Fuck NVIDIA and their GeForce 2 MX 32 mb, (the one I have). It was the cause of my not being able to join rogue spear games twice in one startup, and it's the cause of my ?ber crapppy framerates.

I can't wait for a 64 (or 128?? Smiley ) mb card in my G5.

Talking about ancient, I'm still on an iMac DV 400mhz with an 8mb ATI card.

One should be banned for having that avatar! TROLL! Roll Eyes

Let me get something straight on topic, we argue about politics yet don't have classic ATI vs NVIDIA squabbles? What type of game oriented community are we?  Wink

     Having ATI vs. Nvidia squabbles requires choice in the matter. Since Apple's hardware sucked so much dick until just recently, high-powered video cards hit bottlenecks in those systems, which means that most people stay with the middle-of-the-road cards which are practically the same from both manufacturers. No significant differences = no room for argument. When more people get G5s, which are thankfully free of the legacy systems' bottlenecks, then the debates over which $400 video card to get will begin in earnest. : D

How about a "i f*cking hate DirectX" debate as well... although it might be a little one sided. If microsoft would sort that heap of shit out we might get some healthier ports and not only a better choice of games but games that actually played good on the hardware (like QIII!)
Ive been disapointed with the MX versions of the Nvidia cards... The Geforce4mx card well... didn't feel a whole load more powerful than the 2mx... sure it was etc but considering the techy stuff i expected a bit more oomph.

This new Nvidia card looks sh*t hot though... and the introduction of such sweet bites such asf VS3.0 looks ... well very nice!
