Deraldin Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 edit: and ATI shows off their great skills at quality control by accidentally releasing a graphics driver containing a virus... again And which driver version is that?
metadigital Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I use Omega drivers, anyway, which are a couple of revisions behind (but better for laptops). OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
mkreku Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I have never gotten a virus from my ATI drivers. In fact, the **** up that was the 9x.xx Nvidia drivers made me switch back from Nvidia to ATI. They were worse than a virus. Even though I had to buy the last of the seventh generation of GPU's at an inflated prize (X1950XTX) just before they released generation eight, I felt that it was worth it if only to get back to the safety of the ATI drivers. I did a search on Google (like I did a year ago or so, the last time we had this discussion): "ATI driver problem" = 1,530,000 hits. "Nvidia driver problem" = 1,590,000 hits. (You get basically the same result if you add the word "graphic" between the brand name and the word driver) Last time, the ATI hits were marginally more. This time the Nvidia hits were marginally more. The tide has turned. (Yes, I know it's scientifically worthless. Yes, I know it doesn't actually tell us anything. Now shut up.)

WITHTEETH Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I had a ati 9600 pro, best quality card i ever bought. Played all games without crashes, and better quality. I remember getting my 6800 GT and loading up kotor 1 and enting Telos. The ships didn't shine the same way, it was dull. It ran with the same frame rates too. Fast forward to now, and i have a 7900GT. Nvidia card drivers are screwing up my Oblivion game. I can't get it to run straight, while ati isn't effected by this bug a bit. Bug after bug with nvidia I've encountered. before this oblivion bug issue was the Fear issue, i couldn't get it to run smooth at its LOWEST settings even though i still had a pretty UBER machine. sigh.

Deraldin Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Mkreku has to be the luckiest ATI user in the land, because my ATI cards give me constant pain. Nah. You're just damn unlucky. My ATI card hasn't given me any trouble except for one time when it overheated, but that was because the heatsink was so full of dust. Some people have horrendous problems with ATI, some with nVidia.
samm Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 My girlfriend's x1900gt is running just fine, too. And very silent, thanks to Zalman I'm looking forward to the next gen of graphics-cards (post 8800 / 2900), because by then, I should have enogh money to replace my computer and DX 10 should be more widely used.

Fenghuang Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 My 9600XT card was and still is pretty freakin' sweet. I say was because I gave it to a friend from school after my motherboard took a dump. But it's still kicking ass inside his machine 4 years after I got it. The only think I wasn't able to run on it before my motherboard died was F.E.A.R. RIP
Deraldin Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Anand and Toms are saying that it will be sold for $880+.
Wistrik Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Anandtech Review Anandtech also indicates that the current overclocked EVGA 8800GTX offering (for about $650) is a better value, despite the potential clock rates achievable in the Ultra. I agree with the reviewer that it would have been nice if NVidia had been more forthcoming about the changes to the silicon.
mkreku Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Am I the only one who feels that this entire generation of GPU's is a bit.. disappointing? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
metadigital Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Well, I'm reserving judgment until the DX10 games are released. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
