i dont think its better! it doesnt even has sm3.0 that mean no soft shadows,hdr,parelax bump mapping and other cool features!
and who doesnt think non soft shadows suck!
Problem is, read reviews like
Anands and even the new 7800GS is too weak for taking advantage of HDR and soft shadows without being reduced to low resolutions. I know my BFG 6800U OC is not powerful enough to allow these SM3 eye treats to be used without playing at low resolutions. And low res without FSAA isn't worth it IMO. Others here have said the exact same thing about their 6800U's.
ive had a 9600 a x700 and a 6600gt all had 256mb memory and the 6600gt by nvidia won !
That's because you are comparing cards in completely different leagues. 9600, X700, and 6600GT...LOL get real. How does a vanilla 6800 compare to a X800XTpe? Oh wait, it has SM3, so it wins right? :roll:
everygame could have aa on *even fear
so yeah i reccomend nvidia
OK, slight to gigantic exageration here. Unless you play at 800x600 with medium to low details. I suppose you play with FSAA, HDR, and Soft shadows right?
Take a look here, and you will see that a 6600GT AVERAGED 15 fps at just 1024x768 when using 4Xaa/16Xaf. If you are playing FEAR with FSAA on a 6600GT, you are making huge sacrifices somewhere else in detail levels and/or resolution. Either that or you like to play slideshows.
Another example: [H]ardOCP found that in
FEAR, even the overclocked BFG 7800GS was reduced to 800x600 2X/4X to remain playable with FSAA/AF.
Don't take my word for it, check out the link. Yet somehow your 6600GT magically is able to do better?
