    NVIDIA still can't match, nor beat ATI's image quality.

    What's the point of ultra-performance when it looks like ****?

    I'm on ATI's side also. I've got a Radeon 9700 pro, and it's a great card. I've known a couple guys that had Nvidias, and I wasn't impressed with them.

    I'll wait for the ATI response to this.

    I have a 9800PRO, and it is going to be much slower then the next generation, but as long as it is handling DX9b and some c and VS2 and PS2 then I am fine..

    Dont care. As long as my current NVidia Quadro continues to play everything a playable speeds, why do I need to spend another 500$ to get a higher benchmark score?

    Dont care much for all that. Dont need it. All i care about is my openGL overlays on my card for Maya.

    And for gaming, as long as my rocket still makes you explode, Im happy.

    I understand....if that is your use of a GPU then I understand why you are not using more money on it...

    YEA RIGHT! The guy getting 3912 FPS ON THE NEW NVIDIA POS666 WILL OWN J00000!!

    But really... I have a point. If I can get 60 FPS at a reasonable resolution... what's the problem?

    Well to be honest, my Video card was more expensive than the standard consumer card becuase of the opengl overlays. It was $700.

    That is the main problem I have right now is these cards dont have those overlays, and the ones that do are in the thousands range right now

    I vaugely recall the GeForce --> Quadro modding days...

    In any case I'll wait for ATI's response.....and then pick up a 9800 XT for cheap.

    Why not just get a 9800PRO, you can clock it almost as fast as a 9800XT, and the 9800XT is more or less allready maxed out...

    When Doom3 and the Unreal3Engine is out, then you won't get that...thats for sure....just read an intervju with Sweeany (SP?), telling that everything is rendered perpixel......sounds like he want everyone to buy new computers soon...

    OpenGL hardware overlays.

    It's something usually only software emulated, but application like Maya use the hardware version for real time hardware rendering in view ports. Handy for when working with things like particles.

    ATI response will be the R420PRO, which will compete with the non-ultra version of Nvidia's GeForce 6800 card. That will be followed up by the R420XT, with 16 pipelines , and will compete with the GeForce 6800 Ultra. They should be out in less than one month.

    I currently have a Radeon 9000 Pro 128 MB video card, so I'll probably still be waiting to upgrade for a while.
