article radeon/ti4400 comparison on racing sims

Posted here as promised. The article comparing radeon 8500 and Ti4400 frame rates in some racing sims is done. Also has some comparison shots with and without FSAA. http://www.slottweak.com/ati%20Ti4400.htm (Ummm..... it's not a review of the cards, just frame rate comparisons, mostly. Reviews can be found everywhere else.) -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com)

Thanks, Tim. I hope it's useful for some. - actually, besides taking the time to say thanks, replying give me a chance to test my new news-server without doing one of those "test" posts ;-) -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com

The next round is here (The ATI Radeon 9700) and the results look spectacular. nVidia isn't expected to have anything even _close_ until 2003. Unless they turn up their time table, which is entirely possible after seeing the performance aspects of the 9700. I just hope there is a full-power AIW version. With FireWire this time, dammit! I don't care if I have to pay $500 for it. A card as fast as the 9700, with full DirectX 9 support, at full speed core, with all the AIW features is a card that can last me at least 2 years. -Larry "Codex" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'm liking the 9700. I hope ATI can write good drivers. I had a ATI Rage Maxx Fury card and loved it at the time. I still think it looked better than my GF2 and was darn near as fast, again at the time. I had a hard time deciding between the 8500 and the GF3 I have now. Drivers were the reason I went with Nvidia, but I'm kicking myself these days. The worst part is it was an Xmas present from the woman so if I change it out I'll have to put up with the "What wasn't mine good enough?" crap. lol MadDAWG

The 9700 is looking good to me too. I just hope it has an AIW version, with FULL speed and FireWire. ATI always seems to leave _one_ feature out of their AIW's that stops me from buying one, and I WANT one. -Larry "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I'm liking the 9700.

I just got 1 question: How much is too much, Imho No matter how much money you got, you can always use more, but that's just me, if I one day run out of things to spend money on, and have so much of the stuff that I just don't know what to do with it, well then I guess I could always just build a hospital, school or church. :o) "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
