Q1 2004 VGA Comparison - tech
(hx) 05:56 PM CET - Mar,15 2004 - Post a comment / read (11)

Digital-Daily have posted their Q1 2004 Video Card Comparison:

Since it's already the year 2004 outside, we have to upgrade our favorite P4 2.4 GHz that has been around in our test configuration for a year to 3.2 GHZ, with the memory capacity increased to 1GB. Anyway, to create an adequate picture as of early 2004, we had to re-test all the available video cards, which took us as long as two weeks. Only he who generated all these graphs is able to make head or tails of them :)

In the end, we made a voluntary decision to sum up all the results for the only resolution - 1024x768 as the most "playable".

Twenty video cards, 13 benchmarks. The purpose of the tests is to show the performance differences between the latest solutions presented by NVIDIA and ATI.

lol, you guys are pathetic. You get some sort of satisfaction by saying Nvidia is better? geez.

Funyyyyyy	posted - Mar, 15 2004 - 19:59
Haha nvidia fan boys lol. Even with hard evidence they still are blinded by the dark side.

@ Penis, we're pathetic? look at your name. you have to come up with a original name and in the end you call yourself penis? guess that says alot about you. but, the charts clearly show nvidia dumping all over ati. what? ati won in like 1 or 2 charts only!

great, now lets have a look at the price of the cards, and lets see who is the winner (performance/price)... whats wrong with the kids today, nothing better to do than to argue which gfx card is bigger? you might notice there is a world out there with real problems and real people dieing, just an idea...

nvidia is king of the hill . but compare the price of the ati 9800 pro with the highend nvidia card .. talk about best bang for the buck .. Look at the 9700 pro that card is soo old and it still rocks .... personally i preffer nvidia over ati due to driver issues . but my second machine has an ati 9800 pro wich costed tons less then the high end nvidia card and it runs just fine .. This test was created to see what is the fastest not what is fast and cheap .

i'm done on the gfx card war..it's not funny anymore. the reviews are all bs anyhow. u never know what their system is, tweaked or not. did they just boot it up and test? etc.. all the reviews are garbage. i look at reviews i look past the text, only thing i care about is real game performance. u look at all the reviews, at times it's a matter of a few fps.. now what accounts for that fps? was xp synching time? was xp arranging files on the disk at the wrong time, was the swap file increasing? it's all meaningingless. a plain site showing driver version and fps of popular games is all thats needed. but everyone needs to be a writer..just to further it, i tested too with my card, i got better fps and i have a weaker cpu.. explain that. a person can write a review, but can he actually operate his OS? hmmm.

Well, I see no point in choosing sides. It really has nothing beneficial about it. Yup, that's right, Nvidia beats Ati. Boo-hoo, ATI is crying :( :(

open house	posted - Mar, 16 2004 - 01:40
it took them two weeks to do the tests because every ATI card required a different driver, and it kept blue screening during tests. And what the hell are they benching a Gigabyte FX5950U for??? GB always makes slower cards.
