Counter-Strike: Source Performance Explored

Posted by Zonk on from the tango-down dept.

sand writes "While ATI has hooked up with Valve for Half-Life 2, a recent Firingsquad article gives the performance edge to NVIDIA's GeForce 6800 in Counter-Strike: Source. Six high-end cards are tested against CS:Source in four different maps under a wide variety of graphics settings with GeForce 6800 GT finishing ahead of X800 XT PE in some benchmarks."

    To those that will kick themselves for spending 100 bucks more for the x800 over the 6800gt specifically for Valve products. Perhaps if you hurry, you can sell it on ebay for enough to get a 6800GT. On the bright side, I'm glad I waited. Kinda makes my next graphics card purchase decision very easy.
