It's been noted here in the forums as well as elsewhere that Nvidia owners tend to be, what we in Au call "one eyed supporters" of there GPU's, thats great, but heres the differance between us. ATI owners one and all have owned Nvidia products from time to time, and to be honest have found there cards to be top notch, but not now.

At the moment instead of being pro-active there being re-active to ATI's product. We ATI owners would be happy to buy nvidia again, but what we want is eye opening, gut wrenching ball tearing power. raw power, frame rates in Quake 3 that look like Bill Gates bank account, not Greg Normans golf scores, and we want it for a reasonable price. More bang for the buck or frame for the franc and at the momnet nvidia just hasn't got it. If their new 5950 ultra was priced lower than a 9800XT it would be worth having a look at, but for what you get out of it, it would need to be a LOT lower in price. The 5600 midrange card is a dud, and the 5700 just hasn't got it either. Think about it, if YOU had the money, an open check book what card would you buy, the fastest card on the market today, or the 5950 ?

I listen to some people here, and one guy in particular, can't think of his name...something to do with being rammed by a jet I think, and dispite what he says, we all know that if an ATI rep knocked on his door and said " here sonny, go ask your Mum if it's OK if the nice man gives you a 9800XT" he would answer yes. And thats a FACT ! he can't afford one ergo he doesn't want one cause there crap, what mentality.

And the cards I've owned ? TNT2, Geforce 2, Geforce 2 Ti, GF3 Ti 200, GF 4 Ti 4200 8x AGP and now the 9600XT by ATI.

I'll gladly go back to Nvidia when the bring out a card that woops ass over my 9600 XT for the same price, but the fact is they just havn't got one at the moment.

at the moment, buying nvidia is like sleeping with yer sister, it's just not quite the same as the real thing.

Well thats my two cents worth...flame on

I think your post is pretty much bang on for the most part, Ati has the top end right now although the 5900XT is a really good card for the price.

But the point is, to keep your mind open and not to jump on a bandwagon. Which is really hard, because human beings are social animals by nature, as well as conflict-hungry. We like to jump on bandwagons with like-minded individuals so that we can bash the people who are "wrong".

But don't let yourself get worked up by rrammey, he might not even like Nvidia, possibly he's just a worthless troll who has a 9800XT in his home computer.

Or maybe he's just mentally deficient. Or an Nvidia loving pedophile. I haven't decided yet.

P.S. Stop sleeping with my sister.

Your write of course and the point i suppose i wanted to make to people is to keep there eyes opennm get the most bang for the buck you can within your budget and enjoy what you buy. Read THG, check benchmarks, ask friends and read the forums and then make your choice.

ps: Ok if you insist, I'll stop sleeping with your Sister...but is it OK if I stay awake with her ?.hmmm...

This is without doubt one of the worst comments i have ever seen on any forum.
You should be disgusted with yourself for saying this and retract this statement with an apology immediately.

A bit of healthy banter is one thing but this is simply beyong the joke,it's not even funny,it is vile.
 
You're right... I'm sorry.

He isn't mentally deficient.

Sorry Petrolhead, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you there.

I kind of find the Nvidia pedophile part amusing.

What the hell kinda lame ass forums do you look at petrolhead? Shut the hell up, I found his comment very amusing and unoffensive. Rramjet probly got a laugh out of it too, as his posts here are not serious... hes the new Hineigger, who BTW I have been conversing with via instant messaging... HOLY CRAP has he gotten annoying!

Yeah it's me guys. I've been away because A) School B) School C) I got a Line 6 Flextone III XL and am always at the Line 6 forums and D) because I'm grounded.. because of SCHOOL!!

I'll make my comeback this summer... look for me then! Till then maybe I'll probly throw in a few random sporadic posts. If by some strange reason you wish to contact me my email address is theocking@cox.net.

BTW The Flex III is AWESOME! Ne1 here have any Line 6 gear?
This thing sounds incredible... at least I think it does... I can't really hear too well anymore:)

Gen what's crackin😉 Daughter got a nice guy to hang out with for Valentine's day?

BTW love the UT2004 demo! However I'm playing it on some crappy school computers (2.6p4, 512ddr266, .... intel extreme graphix 2:))... but I own nevertheless. Can't wait to play it on my 1337 box... but I'm grounded from it right now. AGHHHHH!

Me: are you saying I can't provide?
Me: cause I know I can provide.
Me: oh and I can provide money too😉
Rachel:): why do we need money when we can just stay in our room and have sex all day?
 
Wow. The public outcry against me is deafening.

All of this goes to support my theory that petrolhead = rramjet.
Or at the very least, petrolhead is having "relations" with rramjet.

(I'd like to point out that the word "relations" is a completely non-offensive term. I have learned my lesson!)

Spamjet = PooPellerhead, interesting theory, you may be right. It does fit in with my own <A HREF="http://members.fortunecity.com/wavjunky/swl-c/crapile.wav" target="_new">personal theory</A>.

And if RRRrretardJET can continue without a public apology and mandatory sterilization, I think you'll be just fine.

i find it funny how if the guy who started this post had written the exact same thing, except in favor of nvidia, he would have been called a troll and other bad things.

My Card: Geforce 7 Ti 6000, 1024 MB RAM, PCI-EX 32X, OC to 2000/4000, (1500 Watt power supply) 3dmark03: 47483
That's one awsomegra phics experience.

What's funny about that?

If he posted in favor of Nvidia, it would make him a blind idiot worthy of such mockery.

The mature and objective members of this forum know what were talking about because we live and breathe this $hit.

It might change in the near future, but for right now, Ati has the best high-end hardware.
That's not to say that Nvidia sucks, because it doesn't, but it's simply not as good in the top end. Nor is it to say that Nvidia will never be the best again, because chances are very good that they will. Perhaps soon even, who knows?

Why do some Nvidiots have such a problem dealing with this simple truth?
Try objectivity for god's sake. I mean, really. Nvidia is not a country. You don't have to stand beside the Nvidia flag and pledge allegience to it. It's just a video card company.

Well said.

If I glanced at a spilt box of tooth picks on the floor, could I tell you how many are in the pile. Not a chance, But then again I don't have to buy my underware at Kmart.
