I already finished crysis with my super clocked 7600GT with cooler master coolers... @ 1024x768

i altered my timing and clocked to 910/1770--- 7600GT

stock 7600GT
Memory Bandwidth:22.4 GB/sec Shader Operations:6720 MOperations/sec Pixel Fill Rate:4480 MPixels/sec Texture Fill Rate:6720 MTexels/sec

My 7600GT

Memory Bandwidth:28.3 GB/sec Shader Operations:10920 MOperations/sec Pixel Fill Rate:7280 MPixels/sec Texture Fill Rate:10920 MTexels/sec Vertex Operations:1137.5 MVertices/sec.

so now... i want to play crysis at 1660+ res

i have a 3000 series ATI on board.. my mobo has 780G AMD chipset... i can see a big difference when i play video.. on my on-board card... ATI is sharp and u guys say... its dirt on the screen... all i can do is laugh at u for saying that... lol...

my Questin was which gives better quality... and everyone is talking about FPS..

So.. i have taken the decision.. me going for 3870x2... u know y...
coz i dont like the way some people reply...

And we will talk in 7months time when we have DX10.1 games... the first one is Race driver grid.... lol which is getting released in two months time... they are waiting for nvdia to release there Dx10.1 GT200 series which will be out in 2 months time... so 8800 guys r going to be in trouble...lol

i work for Microsoft as a trainer... and i know what DX10 can do... so no talki talki about DX10.1....k

heck this out....

3870 is very close to 8800GT.. and in most of the test.. nvdia uses 169 or 163 driver... which has a bug... the bug favors nvdia cards... coz the bug is it produces dead cell.. so it reduces the texture load by 13%... and gets more FPS... hmm... i want some 3870 user to check crysis at ultra hi 16qX @1440x900... and tell me what FPS they get..
Pls check that on a vista x64 with 4GB DDR2 and a phenom 9500 if psbl... lol

Coz my friend get only --- FPS AVG and on a PCI-e 2 slot he ges --- or ---.. so.. if some one can say what they get.. i can decide which one to buy

the -- will be filled later geting the result from a 3870 user... [

]

Coz me no fanboy... just want a good card for a good price.. and i also need DX10.1.. coz i work for microsoft and i know what it dose... so i dont need anyone tellin me about DX10.1... k dx10.1 is super and i will give a simple info for guys who want to know about it...

DX10.1 is not made for Graphics improvement .. G imp was additional.. the DX10.1 is designed for a different purpose... that y we need a different mechanism to make it work...

For example..

IF a game is designed in DX10 and if it is giving (75FPS on 8800GT & 65FPS on 3870)

The same game if it is designed in DX10.1.. it will give 73FPS on 8800GT and will give 85FPS on 3870...

Reason is... DX10.1 will use streaming processors..

it u r able to understand this.. fine...

If u don't.. just forget it... k

And don't say nvdia drivers are good and they are best... we found not

read this

http://www.tech2.com/india/news/grap...rashes/32771/0

Nvidia drivers caused 479,000 crashes out of a total of 1,663,748 logged by Microsoft in 2007

and other runner up... lol

ATI clocked in at fourth with 9.3%, and Intel was at fifth with 8.8%...........

This information came to light, when 158 pages of internal emails was made public as part of a lawsuit that is currently under-way against Microsoft. The suit contends that Microsoft was partially responsible for the rise of prices of computer hardware during the important Christmas/New year buying season of 2006.

Given the fact that Nvidia is today’s easily the world’s largest manufacturer of discrete external graphical display solutions, their figure of 29 percent should come as no surprise. I personally was a victim of this as an Nvidia user.

More info is here... k

and the 17% microsoft driver was also for nvdia... lol

lol YOu must be realy naive if You believe this DX 10.1 power

I work in a PC service for 3 years now, and im "in" hardware world for about 7-8 years and never any of this crap realy worked like it suposed to... so dream on about higher fps with 10.1 but Youll remind my words when You get slaped with another Ati dissapointment ;-) And about 8800gt will always be better than 3870 somehow , nvidia will make better drivers as always simply G92 is just...faster! and image quality is as good as on 3870 so drop it...

10.1 on 3870?? hahahah I bet that 3870 will end at 15-20 fps but you earlier said something about 24xAA in Crysis so You like to dream a lot. I hope that Youll be happy with new hardware.. Im off with this thread because You act a lot like fanboy hardware newbie(no offense).

Dude... if i am a fanboy of ATI.. i wont be using 7600GT.. k

Dose this look like a ATI to u... ha

I am not a fan boy of ATI or Nvdia... i am a fandoy of technology......

I tried to know which one is better for me and found ATI serves the purpose...

When u say 3 years experience... i should say.. mine too.. and i have 11..years and as a MS triner.. i have 4 1/2 years.. dude...

U dont understand the importance of DX...

Dx tells the card how and what needs to be done... and Dx10.1 tell a easier way to do the same job... but a DX10 card cannot do that job..coz they don't have what is needed.. to complete the work...

thats y we need a completely different mechanism...

Is that easy to understand... m8

IF I CAN PLAY CRYSIS WITH NO AA and no FA.. @ 1440x900... i am happy... coz i dont care a dam of what u say

If u want nvdia and if u r not going to understand what people say... so be it.... i am ok with that... i would go for ATI 3870x2 but not 8800GT... u know y... coz of u and the way u put msg's...

one thing is clear.... u know nothing about hardware.... u r just a blind gamer....

open ur eye... u may get something usefull...

one nut told me to go for 7600GT when DX10 came out.... and i made that mistake... and dont want that to happen,, again...

IF 3870 sucks... i can live with it....

thanks for ur help anyway.....

Do a comparison with 3870 vs 8800GT with assassins creed on a vista system with sp1 or on a windows 2008 server which comes with SP1 and then talk about it,, k

... u will see the difference
