Do you remember when ATI tried to scam us when they introduced the Radeon? They used drivers that weren't properly reproducing the graphics thereby "gaining" speed on the Quake benchs. If the GPU doesn't have to calculate the entire screen then of course the performance will increase.

In a comparison of the 5900FX's AA to the Radeon 9800 Pro's AA as shown on HardOCP, you can clearly see that the 5900FX is not doing what it's supposed to do. There are clearly jaggies viewable. Therefore, it is easy to surmise and probably correctly that nVidia is attempting to pull the wool over our eyes. I suspect that either the BIOS or the actual chip is designed to limit the AA calculations thereby "gaining" performance.

A truer comparison would be to compare the 5900FX in 8x AA vs the Radeon 9800 Pro in 2x AA (similar visual output). Otherwise you might as well compare all graphics cards perfomance by running the tests in VGA mode.

This whole article is so biased. It has 'I love nVidia' stamped all over it. He's comparing nVidia Performance FPS against ATi Quality FPS. Either get both cards on Performance, or both on Quality - you can't pick and choose whichever makes nVidia looks best you fool.

Oops, looks like ATi's Radeon kicked some arse on the 3D Mark scores! Oh, I see that's irrelevant as it was only described as 'a little bit'.

On the other hand, when the Geforce is ahead by only 5-10fps, you say that the Radeon falls behind the 'monstrous' Geforce.

Hmmmmm. I wonder what the tattoo on your arse says?

"Here NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, ATI RADEON 9800 Pro and ATI RADEON 9700 Pro turned far ahead of NVIDIA GeForce FX 5800 Ultra in case anti-aliasing was enabled."

No, here ATI RADEON 9800 Pro kicked nVidia's arse into the ground.

I actually have a Geforce 3 and I'm reading this article because I want to upgrade and initially I was going to get a Geforce FX. After reading this article though, and seeing how nVidia fanboys like yourself like to bend and distort the facts, I'm having second thoughts.

How much are nVidia paying you these days?

For an unbiased review of hardware, I advise people not to waste their time with xbitlabs and go somewhere like www.tomshardwareguide.com or www.hardocp.com. The level of biased tendency in this article was funny at first, but now that your head has completely disappeared up nVidia's arse I'm getting bored of reading.

All the test's done are fixed by Nvidia cheat drivers.

stop praising Nvidia for their magic drivers, they cut corners ,that's all.

I'm looking back about 3 years ago when Nvidia was coming with drivers that increased performance by cheating , WE WERE ALL FOOLED BY THEM.

The results should be removed,

An article should be written on how Nvidia fixed the results.

Why can't you ?

Oh yeah ! they have lots of money and they are big ,,, and your all scared of them.

Your article is also biased ,recheck your comments.

nVidia will always be on top and ATI is just a newbie in the Video market, perhaps a few years down the track they might start to catch up with nVidia.

I've been using nVidia cards ever since 3Dfx crashed and burned and lucky nVidia was there to pick up the pieces I can see this happening to ATI very soon.

Currently according to price ATI's 9800 xt has the lead $430 versus $400 for the Nvidia FX 5950 ultra. But look what ATI is doing! You can get a 9800 pro for $200!! and i'm not talkin about a refurb either! Now that's the winner if you ask me. Granted its only 128 mb versus 256 but i'll survive and enjoy my extra $200 quite well thank you very much.
