I'd be more worried about how much my card will depriciate in ££'s before a game that "stresses" them (R600/8800 Ultra) comes out

Gibbo said:If 8x AF and 8x AA on an NV card the same as 8x AF and 8x AA on an ATI card?
Vogon said:Leaving aside Xfire etc, ATi will only have max 6xAA available (unless they give more options on the R600 drivers), and nvidia doesn't (IIRC) have 6x .... for the benefiit of comparison I would leave AA at 4x ... most prospective owners of these cards will run that as minimum.
likewise I would go for 8 or 16 AF, we want to know how things compare at high settings, thats surely the point of these beasts
Run whatever you can at those settings, and at 1920x1200, that should give us an idea of what the cards can do, and if you can get hold of STALKER to run a fraps test on, that would be a good game to test the raw power of these cards as it is pretty poorly coded IMO![]()

Hes just getting the GTX benched for when his R600 arrives tomorrow (hopefully), so we get an idea how it performs.![]()
in the drivers set AA and AF options to application controlled, then set AA/AF using in game options onlyGibbo said:Well some of the games don't seem to like 16x AF, is that due to an NV driver setting or only having one card?

this way there shouldnt be any conflicts
JAKUS said:It will be as good as the nvidia offerings with the bonus of driver support...end of Story![]()
LoadsaMoney said:Erm... as ATi release an official WHQL set every month so it will have decent driver support, .![]()
Jabbs said:How can you say it will have good driver support, its a new card so they will have to do drivers for it, who's to say they will be any better than nvidia atm, although they can't be any worse.
Gibbo will you be running two systems at the same time along side each other ,Each with there own 24" monitor ..(one with the 8800gtx,other with the R600) ???Gibbo said:HI m8
Thats exactly what I have been doing, yet I still have those issues.
I shall run the ATI card under the same exact setting as possible to give as fair comparison as possible.
Yes I shall comment on heat and noise plus definetely. Afterall the proper reviews that come out at launch time will be far more in depth than I can offer plus by that time there will probably be proper drivers out. The drivers I shall be using are very early/beta ones but hopefully they will let me do what I need too.

Perfect_Chaos said:Hope its 20% faster at least in most tests, kind of ridiculous if its not since the 8800 gtx has been out over 5 months already.
The 8800gtx is not that far from double the speed of cards from only about a year ago...JAKUS said:That's dreaming My friend ! GPU's have got to where CPU's were a year of so back, Die shrinks and Multiple cores are required to get big boosts not least because of the thermal constraints. For more than a Year the top GFX cards make too much heat and use too much power
