ATI... erm, AMD vs nVidia!
ATI... erm, AMD vs nVidia!
[Edit by neon_chameleon : Since there seems to be a topic about ATI vs. nVidia! so often, us moderators have decided to create a single thread concerning this issue, namely this topic "ATI vs. nVidia!".
Anybody wanting to ask questions concerning the differences in the two can simply type their question in bold.
eg. ATI X800XT VS nVidia! Geforce 6800 Ultra
Therefore everyone can type their replies or comments here and all pcformatians can read the previous questions to see whether it somehow relates to their question first. ]
Which card should I go for :
1) Gigabyte NX66128DP
Chipset: nVidia GeForce 6600 TurboEdition
Slot: PCI-E 16X
Memory: 128MB 128-bit DDR
Price: R1296
2) Gigabyte RX60X128V
Chipset: ATI Radeon X600XT
Slot: PCI-E 16X
Memory: 128MB 128-bit DDR
Price: R1496
Any opinions of which card I should go for would be grealty appreciated!

Byte this or laugh:
Amd 3500+
1gb Corsair DDR 400
Gigabyte 6600gt
Actually, according to the benchmarks in Tom's Hardware review, it seems that the x700 is neck and neck with the 6600GT (not SLI) and when they fall into a similar price range, you can't say that the x700 "barely holds on"VoodooProphetII wrote:...X700 barely holds on, only manage to pass in HL2 if you turn on AA and FSAA.

technically the 6600 and the x700 are supposed to be competitors, the
x600 and x300 is in competition with the 6200, and beat it.
i'd say the reason i'm buying ATI is because they run so much cooler than
anything Nvidia can offer! someone prove me wrong.
i would totally buy a 6800 non-ultra, but the price is VERY restricting,
for some STUPID reason, Nvidia thinks that their HSI bridge is worth R1000.
where ATI has no difference in price between AGP and PCI-express.
I have an X600XT on my one machine and am getting an X700Pro
on my other.
