SimCity 4 IQ no AA/AF
This is a fairly impressive game, and continues the SimCity tradition very well. There weren't any noticeable image quality differences between these cards for this test. Again we used the same scrolling test we used previously.
NVIDIA 45.23
NVIDIA 52.14
ATI Catalyst 3.7

Um...Why was there nothing noting the difference between nVidia and ATI's in the IQ section? nVidia looks absolutely horrid compared to the ATI.

I saw more opinions in this article leaning towards Nvidia, especially around the Tomb Raider benchmarks. More specifically, starting with the page regarding compilers. I liked this articles, but there could have been less opinionated viewpoints on this. Also, it might be better if we get names of authors with what they typed, so we know who typed what, because some of this sure didn't sound like something Mr. Shimpi has written in the past...Anonymous User - Tuesday, October 7, 2003 - link
