I think the pictures say it all: :eek:

PCI Express System:
P4 560 (Prescott 3600)
Intel 925X Retail Board
4 GB DDR2-533 in Dual Channel Mode

AGP System:
P4 3200 (Northwood 3200)
Intel i875P Retail Board
2 GB DDR400 in Dual Channel Mode

Now if we could only get A64 PCI Express systems (smokin game performance!)

i think this is a message to all you ATi Fanboys out there

:thumbsup: ;D

:wow:

....Not cool. Doesn't matter anyway. I won't be getting any of those cards 'till mid-late 2005 I think....

Hooray for nVidia finally fixing their ARB GL paths.

[SimGuy]

More like ATI needs to look at their OpenGL driver performance a little more carefully and address that issue.

It's not like they haven't had the time (5 years and running)...

[Thrax]

Generally this has been the industry standard discrepency when nVidia and ATI are both working well (8500 and ti500 days).

The nVidia card was significantly faster in OpenGL, but got stomped by the ATI card in D3D. This looks to be more of same.

[SimGuy]

Pretty much. :)

NVidia always has had superior OGL performance, but ATI's DX8.1/9 performance has been better than NVidia's :)

On a Pre PS3.0 HL2 platform, we'll probably see a complete flipflop of the above benches :)
