Here are some Half Life 2 numbers for you to look at; they were provided by a reliable source, but I could not verify anything myself so take them with a grain of salt. ATI was running in their DX9 codepath and the mixed mode codepath was used for NVIDIA. No AA/AF was enabled and we're looking at 1024x768 scores:

If those numbers hold true then things definitely look better than from Half Life 2 day, but we'll reserve judgement until we get the benchmark in house. I just thought you'd like to see what we're seeing, I wouldn't draw any conclusions based on this data yet, just wanted to share :)
Tomorrow is my 8AM day again, and maybe I'll get those tests back that I took on Monday (hopefully not...I'd like tomorrow to be a good day :)...). I'm off to sleep, have a good night everyone. Derek and I will be back to work on Part II tomorrow; I'll update you as soon as I can.

"The physical specifications are standard for a GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, and the ASUS V9950 Ultra uses 450 MHz core and 850 MHz memory clock speeds. These high clock speeds and the new 256-MB memory bus allow the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra to have a theoretical advantage over the Radeon 9800 Pro 256-MB, both in terms of fill-rate and memory bandwidth." from Sharky Extreme....Dear ATI fanboys..........when you look at this you will notice that the radeon.....which is a sub standard card......cannot match the Geforce is spesifications....fucking shame....now, before you guys all go out to buy a radeon....that is if it will work....wait for the newer Nvidia Detonator drivers.....don't base anything on the beta drivers, it just shows the ATI fannies are idiots.

Guys, I bought a Radeon 9600 pro 4 weeks ago. Believe me, it is a slow card. I tried playing Halo on it, but had to drop to 800x600 and the frame rate was still very poor. I recently bought the Geforce FX 5900. I can now play the game at 1280x1024,with all the setting, no problem. PLUS the textures looks better on the Geforce than the Radeon.........now shut up and start playing games, I presume that is the reason you bought the cards....Anonymous - Tuesday, October 7, 2003 - link

[quote]Whats better for DOOM 3? GEFORCE FX 5950 or RADEON 9800XT?[/quote]What does this have to do with HL2? Doom3 was pratically funded by nvidia and uses Nvidia code paths. In other words it is completely OPTIMIZED for nvidia cards where as in HL2 it is OPTIMIZED again since it sucks at DX9.
In other words: Nvidia cards don't work with standard drivers.

JR, guess what? If you want people to take you seriously, you have to use "you" instead of "u"!I think I saw a /. comment that put the situation pretty well.. anyone remember it?

Definitely GeForce FX line. Radeons run Doom3 like crap.
