Isn't nVidia's 8xS form of AA actually broken, thus causing bad performance?

The 3rd graph down incorrectly displays a Doom 3 Graph instead of a HL2 Graph.

Some benchmarks are bs btw, my friends X800Pro handles everything np at max at stock speed, and he can overclock it to 1.4Ghz.....

Hi,
It is the very first time, I think, your review is up to the others on Xbitlabs.
Keep up a good work.

"RADEON X850 PRO which works at higher clock rates but has only 12 pixel pipelines against the RADEON X800 XL’s 16 pipelines. These graphics cards should perform similarly, but the RADEON X800 XL is going to be somewhat better in pixel shader-heavy games and somewhat worse when the GPU clock rate is important, like in scenes with complex geometry."
Hmm I dont think that explains the difference between the card very well. For one thing the X800XL should only be 2-3% faster at pixel shading whilst the X850 pro is theoretically 30% faster at vertex shading...a rather larger difference ;-)
Some X800XLs are only clocked at 393mhz which should make their lead in pixel shading nie on unmeasurable
The X850 pro also has 8% more memory bandwidth
I mean yeah theyre going to perform similarly but then the 9800 pro and 9800XT performed "similarly" as well.

I use a Samsung 243T for gaming. It supports 1920x1200 DVI. I would have liked to see tests with this higher level resolution, rather than stopping at 1600x1200.

true, its easier to find ppl willing to buy a 500$ card, but will the reputation still b the same ?
