Man.. saw the benchmarks of the ATI today.. I thought it'd be tough to make up the huge gains Nvidia got but they did..

I have got an ATI 9800 Pro 256mb and it is very good. Its my first ATI card after years of NVIDIA. I will never go back to NVIDIA now.

dont by anything now, the new chip sets are coming out in a few weeks...
all that means to me is that the "old-top-of-the-line" goes on sale.

I have 128 FX5900. I like Nvdia chips I started using the desing from 3DFX days. My first 3d card was a 4MB Diamond, then a 8 MB vodoo1 and 12 mb vodoo2. Then a 16mb Vodoo3 3500 then I bought and retunred like 15 video cards month by month to best buy. Finally settled on the fx5900. If I ll get another card it will be problaly another Nvdia.
