I ve heard good and bad things for both the FX5900 and ATI9800 , would people with facts and experince not bloody rumors plz tell me more about the diffrences and strengths of both these cards , in particuler the ASUS V9950 . Lets openly and respectfully finish the

nVidia deviated their hardware from DX9 specifications, and now they can't run DX9 very effectively.

So ATI is basically the only choice for decent DX9 performance is ATI.

ATI has no driver issues more than any other company.

I would have to agree with the other guys on this. Nvidias problem is not a driver issue, its in the architecture of their chip, this is not something that can easily be fixed in software. ATI have stuck to the DX9 specs and thus havve a far better product on the market at the mo.

Good plan of action :)

Right now my top pick is the 9600XT... under $200 and comes bundled with HL2.

Yeah and those bastards stealing the HL-2 code won't help the game be release on schedule :mad: It wouldn't surprise me if they delayed HL-2 so they could alter the code significantly enough so that any cracks or cheats created based on the stolen code won't work.
