No surprises here. Everyone knows Gabe is ATI's little hoe.
And any self-respecting 6800U owner wouldn't be caught dead playing CS... the very thought s me. |

This is retarded. If you take a look at the benchmarks of the Halflife2 Beta, you'll see the 6800 pull ahead of the x800 (HalfLife2 beta was released before the 6800, yet Valve claimed ATI still had an advantage on their engine). This is just further proof that Valve is most likely having financial problems (you can only sell the same game so many times) and is getting most of their support from ATI. Why else would they give out free coupons to an unfinished game practically a year ahead of schedule (and maybe more, since it still isn't finished). They aren't coding a game that's optimized for ATI, they are coding a game that's literally UNoptimized for NVidia. I'm not against the game itself, but when the programmers try to alienate hardware owners, thats where I draw the goddamn line. |

It will work like this: Nvidia puts out a new set of drivers that will boost performance with CS: Source.
Simple as that really.
The Geforce hardware is more than capable of handling the HL2 engine, so all you Geforce Ultra owners- don't worry about anything |

My sentiments regarding ATI and NVIDIA aside....
a) These benchmarks contradict the countless other benchmarks that can be found.
b) The large difference they discuss is when the 6800U is running 8xAF and the X800 is running 6xAF. Of course they are going to different.
Remaining impartial, I think this is one of the most terrible comparisons I have seen in a long time. |
