jerry Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Woot ! I want them to drop the price rather than bundle more and more games with the cards and keeping or raising the prices ... :/ ^ Ignorant n00b above. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimplyPotatoes Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 game bundles are great for both companies, as well as retailors. it does get frustrating ati is pushing back its release for its "new opengl code" / compiler. when its finished i do hope their is a significant increase for the consumers.

Im just hoping HL2 will run ok on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you said "half decent performance" which is a false statement as the performance on a X800 averaged well above 55fps. half decent ? No. Less than Nvidia ?

I just find it funny that NVidia mopped the floor with ATI in Doom 3 benchmarks, yet they package Doom 3 with it...explain how this makes me an ignorant noob please. Just because Nvidia moped ATI in the benchmarks with Doom 3, that doesn't make ATI's card not good enought to run Doom 3. It's just not the best choice of graphics card to run doom 3 with.

Gary_Player Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 And here I thought HL II was sposed to be bundled with ATI cards...wtf is nvidia going to do :s now that they have a card that outperforms the ATIs again they don't need an awesome game to bundle i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaLRasaM Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 ohh man..dont make this a freakin fanboi thread man! cant we all just get along? besides...we only saw ONE sites tests on doom 3..for all i know..it could be one of those nvidia "OPTIMIZES" in either case...i still think ATI cards are a better choice..but thats just me. but plz dont go all off topic. thanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexor Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 http://users.on.net/~testeagles/04072001.JPGwhat company it lacks traditional insignia (weired creatures/hot chicks) so I begin to think it's a composit scetch, since google image search revealed that every box has either creature/hot chick(Ruby is it? the one in the demo)/object (i.e. Gigabyte's piramid) that one doesn't have anything. plus look at the heatsink/fan weired, small, and stripped down, x600 or x300? but that makes not friggin sense!

ATi will fix the problem, and you'll have the game. Problem? I don't see one. It's a pretty smart move if you ask me. So far they've bundled a HL2 voucher and now Doom 3. They're pretty consumer friendly, but you're bashing them. How ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shining Arcanine Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 ^ the benches were dependable. Moreover ATi always lacked in OpenGL games so it was no surprise. I dont expect the performance to increase. I do. I recall reading an ATI employee stating that the OpenGL drivers weren't as good as the DirectX driver because they spend more time on the DirectX driver and if they spent that time on the OpenGL driver, the speed would go up. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
