Ya, but I included actual benchmarks and quote directly from Nvidia just to show some of the other members on the forums whats really going on between Ati and Nvidia. |

| all of this info is useless because there are no GOOD OFFICIAL drivers for FX 5900 yet, in a few months drivers will be improved greatly, improving performance, so far on all raw test 5900 FX beats 9800 PRO, so this is just a matter of newer drivers from nVidia optimized for newer games. |

ati owzn nvidia any day in games and benchmarks. they are getting worst and worst everyday like. they were good when the gf4 was around but went downhill after that.
this to me dont look like good/great drivers to me. they were the one that nvidia recommended for hl2 benchmarks but were pull for lower IQ to boost score by like ~5-10% just to try to catch up to ati radeon 9600/9800.

| quote: | EIDOS Interactive, the publisher for Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness issued a patch a couple of weeks ago for the game which happened to include a way to use the game as a DX9 benchmark. Since it shows NVIDIA hardware performing slower than ATI, EIDOS has pulled it down. Remember, this is a "Way it's meant to be played" game, which means NVIDIA has paid EIDOS marketing money. Here's a bs statement from EIDOS Europe:
"It has come to the attention of Eidos that an unreleased patch for Tomb Raider: AOD has unfortunately been used as the basis for videocard benchmarking. While Eidos and Core appreciate the need for modern benchmarking software that utilizes the advanced shading capabilities of modern graphics hardware, Tomb Raider: AOD Patch 49 was never intended for public release and is not a basis for valid benchmarking comparisons. Core and Eidos believe that Tomb Raider: AOD performs exceptionally well on NVIDIA hardware." - Paul Baldwin, Eidos

| quote: | No, 49 is the patch that we worked on for the benchmarking. If you click the download link its no longer there.
This is stupid since the patch actually increased performance for all boards and solved a number of bug fixes - the benchmarking mode is still available in the previous version, so if people use that then the performances will be even worse! |
