GF FX 5900 Ultra vs. ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
Mack writes "OCAddiction.com has their GF FX 5900 Ultra vs. ATi Radeon 9800 Pro article online detailing which card is more powerful. Running a plethora of benchmarks we were anxious to see which card outperformed the other. Quite simple really. We take nVidia's top offering and pair it up against the current top offering from ATi and let them duke it out till the bitter end. Who will come out on top? Let's take a look."
Why didn't the poster tell who won? Now I have to actually read the article.
I mean, damn! Four more FPS! For only $499 (plus tax ans S&H)! Where's my credit card...
If your theory is different from practice, then your theory is wrong.
Yes, it's an evil satanic conspiracy.
Did you know that "Mature Furk" is an anagram for "Futuremark"? Google for it, and be enlightened.
How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life
Duke Nukem Forever was released?? Woo-hoo!!
Let's see here, they compare two cards that shouldn't compare in real life.
The GeForce card has:
* Twice as much memory (256 MB vs. 128MB)
* More memory bandwidth (27 GB/s vs. 21 GB/s)
* Faster memory (3 ns vs. 3.8 ns chips)
And the GeForce still got it's ass handed to it by the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, which, by the way, doesn't even need a leaf-blower attachment just to keep it from overheating!
Is anyone still buying Nvidia cards any more these days (other than the blindly trusting fanboys, that is)?

Let's see now.
:)
1/ Both cards can display current games at 2 quajillion fps, the winner beating the loser by 3fps
2/ The economy of well, the world, is in the dumps
3/ Quite a few cool and very demanding games (Doom3, Halflife) will come out Soon(tm) but Definately Not Yet(tm). (Personally I wouldnt be surprised if it would be @ christmas time
4/ At X-mas time (or whenever these demanding games start to come out) newer, faster cards will be out, and/or these cards will be cheaper.
5/ At X-mas time people will actually have some money set aside to buy rad new videocards for.. eh.. their girlfriends.
So who would buy this?
(No, I haven't actually -read- the article

GF FX: 999999
Ati Raedon: 40394
Weird outcome! It was strange though, because during the gf fx test, it just flashed and gave me my score! Awesome speed!
Keep up the good work, NVIDIA!
Excuse me, I don't mean to impose, but I am the ocean
Right-oh.

For some reason I thought of "Iron Chef" when I read this.

> the FX 5900
Sorry, I can't hear you over all the fan noise from my Nvidia graphics card.
I NEED to know which one is cooler than the other. I can't be going to school tomorrow and know I have the wrong video card in my computer. If the other kids find out, I will be the laughing stock of the A/V club!
I had a sucky sig.
They may be useless to you, since you're a gamer and you just want to know how fast your games will run, but when I need a card to run 3dmark as fast as possible, I know which test I'm looking for.
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.

b) An nVidia FX 5900 gpu
c) 19 inch monitor
If you set it to turn on in the morning time, the FX 5900 also doubles as an alarm clock/wake-up service.

There you have it. Join us next time when we try to find another of these rare hipocritopotamus beasts once more. In other words, you look like a prime candidate to write for his "publication" as the rampant idiocy and spelling errors so associated with what he writes are beautifully depicted by your own baboonery.
The correct way to mock him would have been as follows:
"spelling is arbitrary"
No, there are rules. Some people just don't understand them, expecially you.
