This nice hp known as tomshardware, which is known to be REEEALLY biased also adds: 'We're unsure if it's a motherboard or driver related issue.' I visited this hp appr. 2 yrs ago. If u want decent tests look for somewhere else.

I have to agree, I cant see why you all fight over ATI and Nvidia. I have a GeForce FX 5900 and a RADEON 9800 in similar computers. And I have to say they both suck at times. I mean sure my ATI isnt as quick in some games as the Nvidia card, but the ATI seems to give better picture. As for ATI I have to say they have major issues with it making some games to dark like Final Fantasy 11. And both have given me MAJOR head aches time to time, but thats part of having a computer. :) Take it from me, a test isnt going to tell you in the end which cards better... its when you have to use both of them daily that you see theyre both headaches in the end. :)
