Those Doom 3 benchmarks are very new, ATI need to be given chance to update
their opengl. Take a look at the benchmarks for HL2, and consider the ATI is
a heap of cash less.
We need a couple more driver revisions before we can put ATI into second
spot. It may also be worth waiting for newer mobos that support 2 PCIe
graphic card slots, they're out soon enough.

no, he's comparing the 9800xt to the 6800gt. It doesn't matter what you do
to the drivers, it can't come close to the performance of the gt. Plus the
fact that the 6800gt is going for the same price as the 9800XT is, the gt is
the only one to consider. Even the standard 6800, which is $100 less than
the 9800xt beats it. Now if it was the x800pro or xt that was in question,
the story would be different. But we are talking old generation ati for
$400 or new generation nvidia for $400, no contest

Why do they "need to be given a chance"? Why haven't they kept up?

I don't really even understand what you mean by this, but ATI is already
in second place, and will stay there. It's not a driver issue, it's
hardware.

Many thanks for all the comments..
As expected the GT looks much nicer for the same price.. Will grab a GT.

Doom 3 final code is just out, it'll need time for either player to produce

Because apart from Doom 3, openGL has been dead in the water, and i suspect
that ati quite rightly had Doom 3 in the 'vapourware' tray.

I'm not sure how anyoe who understands hardware can say this with such
finality.
Keep in mind chaps that ati have not made anything new for over 2 years now,
they've got something coming, and it isn't going to be grovelling along with
anything nvidia have made.
BTW, I'd be delighted to be wrong, I've owned both brands before, but ati
will have something really new to land nvidia on it's arse, no doubts there.
Nvidia may hit back, who knows.

Agreed. The correct comparison would be X800XT vs 6800GT. Maybe
that's what the OP meant to post?

you are wrong. ati's newest product came out a week AFTER the 6800 series,
it is not 2 years old. Apparently you just want to hide your head in the
sand and completely ignore what is going on in the video card industry right
now since nvidia has a great product out currently.

How barbed! If you think these carda re a generation apart then you've got a
bit to learn I'm afraid.
For now, you can take a look here and see that ATI still rules for UT:
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040504/ati-x800-12.html#unreal_tournament_2004
Note in the review how much difference the drivers made to the nvidia card
in an opengl game.

You are judging ati's old generation better because a game that is pretty
much cpu limited isn't vastly better on the 6800? I guess the x800xt isn't
any better than the 9800series also then? Look at a game like farcry or
halo where the 6800gt is almost twice as fast as the 9800xt. Oh well, I
guess your right, even though the 9x00 cards have been out for 2 years, ati
is suddenly going to come out with drivers for them that will double
performance thus making them faster than both nvidia's AND ati's latest
product.
I can post links too. To the exact same review:
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040504/ati-x800-19.html
or this:
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040504/ati-x800-29.html
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040504/ati-x800-31.html
notice how the 6800 is offering twice the performance of the 9800xt? I
guess drivers will change that though.

There's very little new about the current cards that wasn't in the 9700pro.
What ati have at the moment is a very fast version of something that is over
2 years old. When they release something new, it will take nvidia another
two years to catch up again.

There's very little new about the current cards that wasn't in the 9700pro.
What ati have at the moment is a very fast version of something that is over
2 years old. When they release something new, it will take nvidia another
two years to catch up again.

You have a crystal ball? What has gone before has nothing to do with
what will happen down the road.
I'm just glad we've got some decent competition. Most reviewers have
the current top-of-the-line cards from ATI and Nvidia on an even
footing, so you're hard-pressed to recommend one over the other. My
tendency is to lean toward Nvidia right now, since they have the best
OGL support, but that could change at any time, although I'm not
prescient enough to make predictions. ;-)

Are you really this ignorant? You don't make a driver for a *GAME*, you
make it for the *HARDWARE*. Sheesh.

Are you on drugs? You are wrong on both of these claims. Absolutely
wrong. OpenGL dead.... Ha! That's a good one!

All right, now I *know* you are just ignorant. Get a clue about the
current state of the industry before you post again.

They just use OpenGL, which hasn't changed in years. Why do they need
to create a new driver when just another game uses it?

Bwahahahahaha! Sorry, but you seem to be out of focus with reality.
Each and every 3D game in Linux uses OpenGL, and so do many Windows
titles. And remember that Linux is growing as a gaming platform.

Then perhaps they'd like to create Linux drivers, like their rival
NVidia does.
