ATI makes me SICK!

[juneau]

Well juneau for every 1 happy person with 4870x2 i can show you AT LEAST 10 that are cursing ATI. Its just the way how ATIfanboys live these days they have to suffer their love to the red.

And by the way , my ONLY bad HDD since i start to work with computers is last december one WD 150GB Raptor

That's probably more to do with the fact that more gamers have ATI cards than Nvidia. Hardly anybody has a GTX260/280. I'm still ok with my 8800GTS but if i had to change right now it would be to either a 4850 or a 4870. I don't need the power of a X2.

You also need to remember that the X2 has been out what? 2 weeks at most? Did the 9800GX2 work flawlessly on release? Nope.

Btw, did you install the display driver and CCC separately? I've heard this fixes a lot of issues.

Yea, and back in the old AGP socket days AIT was crushing Nvidia... nvidia 5500's couldn't keep up with ATI's 9800's at the time IIRC....

Well if we going to go that way lets do it.

NVIDIA was owning ati from NVIDIA banshee all the way to GeForce 3Ti then ATI came back for few months with radeon 8500, then NVIDIA took it back with GeForce Ti4600 untill Radeon 9700Pro then NV came with this crap 5800, but shortly after this came 6800 which destroy ATIs next gen card 9800Pro




Then ATI came with X800

which was slightly better than 6800

They were good for 7-8 months , then NVidia came back with 7800GTX and the first possibility for SLI which



Then ATI came back for about 8 months with X1800XTX/ X1900 series



Then NV came with 8800GTX and since then almost 2 full years NV was the king on the hill with 8800GTX , 8800ULTRA , 8800GTS , 9800GTX ,
ATI produce couple of failures like HD2900, 3780 , 3780X2 which was not that bad but NVs response crash it , 9800GX2

Last 2 years. But hardcore gamers and tech geeks like to stay up to date and always buy the latest gear. Which means right now they're buying ATI cards, not Nvidia.

ATI actually haven't done too bad over the past 2 years. They only got such a bad rep because of their new way of performing AA which set them back 12+ months.

Starting to think you're a bit of a Nvidia fanboy boby.

last 2 years was HORRIBLE for ATI..... only HARD CORE fanATIcs bought ati cards, or most of the really poor people.

ME? LOL during the years i had as many ATIs as NVs. Actually since VooDoo Rush i had every TOP 3D card on the market....
Right now i am with 4870X2 , but as soon something better is out ill change it.

What do you do with your old cards when you get a new one every 6 months or so? Almost always they are very nice cards when you replace so, so there is a curious mind here.

I am not trying to free load or anything, I just have never been rich enough to do anything like that.

Well , i sell my old hardware in different forums , with some loss. Some of them with huge loss , but lets say that's my equivalent of smoking or drinking..

I don't smoke , i don't drink. So thats my little thing that make me happy.. And doesnt damage my health as the oder things that people love to do

What res are you gaming at boby? Wasn't the GTX280 good enough? Send it my way.

I have always been an Nvidia person, don't forget who brought us those new maps for PC for free

[imlittlev]

hey look, x1950xt running on vista 64 with no driver problems...
Theres nothing especially bad with either company. Hate the card, not the company!

Someone's falling for the trap.

ATI 8.9 drivers (still beta?) correct a number of issues. Here's a thread detailing the settings and some CoD4 screenies to reflect the changes:
