You where implying that ATi was inferior to Nvidia
"ATI people and their woes with (and without) powerstrip make me scared to upgrade,"
scared to upgrade? your technical comprehension and computer tweaking abilities must be really bad....
How difficult is it to follow instructions that are available on this forum for getting ATi to work with HDTV?
There are plenty of people who have problems with nVidia
go check out nvnews viahardware anandtech, etc and you will see that there are way more people who have problems with nVidia hardware.........
I just love it how you pull stuff out of your arse when it comes to things like that.........
Lets state some facts"
1. Nvidia cheats (using optimizations that most developers consider invalid bvecause the rendered output is NOT what they intended) on all of the popular benchmarks and games. It is only after a game is released for some time do you get hacked drivers to enable the speed at expense of IQ. ATI runs all DX9 code extremely well right out of the box.
2. Offeres substandard image quality when running at framerates competitive with ATi's,
3. Inferior DX9 performance on non pupular games
4. You cannot even tweak amd redistribute their drivers without a corporate lawyer comming down on you for it. (just ask Omega).
5. Unlike ATi;s drivers where you can actually use programs to disable and enable certain driver code, Nvidia's drivers are encrypted and you cannot use any driver evaluation tools to enable or disable driver code for testing purposes.
6. Who does not offer true trilinear due to the massive performance hit altough they promised it?

I must've missed where I said it could. But as far as hdtv troubles with ati cards, go look around the htpc forum. It's not like I made it up. All I said was my card hasn't been a problem, but a lot of people are complaining about the ati cards, which made me wary to upgrade to an ati card. Reading comprehension is a fading skill. |
