ATI Radeon 9800 Pro vs. NVidia GeForce 5900

Posted by timothy on from the if-you've-got-the-money dept.

HardcoreGamer writes "Today ATI shipped its Radeon 9800 Pro 256 MB DDR-2 card in time for E3 and nVidia announced the NV35-based GeForce 5900 which will be available in June. Early tests seem to say that while nVidia edges ahead of ATI in specific areas, overall ATI still has the better card. The caveat is that the next generation of DirectX 9-based games (like Doom 3 and Half-Life 2, demonstrated with ATI at E3) will truly determine which is the better card. Lots of coverage at PC Magazine, PC World, The Register (ATI) (nVidia), ExtremeTech, InternetNews, and Forbes/Reuters. Either way, at $450-$500, serious gamers are about to get another serious dent in their wallets."

  4. JFK HAD A "MONICA'" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    US president John F. Kennedy had his own Monica Lewinsky, it was claimed yesterday.

    He had an affair with a teenage intern three decades before Bill Clinton's notorious sex romps in the Oval Office.

    The unnamed 19-year-old accompanied womaniser Kennedy on official trips.

    Robert Dallek, author of new Kennedy biography An Unfinished Life, said: "Apparently her only skill was to provide sexual release for JFK."

    One former aide described Barbara Gamarekian as "a colt, young and very trim."

    The fling was disclosed by White House aide Barbara Gamarekian in a secret statement she made after Kennedy's 1963 assassination.
