and ATI cards only supporting PS2.0 in hardware, the ATI Cards come along and
STILL trump the NVIDIA cards using Pixel Shader Model 3.
"Benchmarking with Far Cry - This is the extreme torture test, 1600x1200 with a
good amount of AA and AF piled on top. The frame rates these cards are able to
achieve are truly remarkable, but remember; during actual gameplay the frame
rate would be slower in scenes of action. The X800 XT does incredibly well here,
showing an 11% jump over the shader model 3.0 path and HYPERLINK
"http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1620275,00.asp" \nan impressive 25%
boost over the shader model 2.0 path on the 6800 Ultra. "
Is there *any* reason to buy an Nvidia card now??
Well , beside the lack of availability of the ATI X800 series of cards at retail
