ok this is the deal

my brother bought a 6800 gforce
and he had a 9600 xt platinum

and we tested it in battlefield 2 but only real differents is the eye candy and the collours
but in 3dmark test the 6800 is mutch faster then the 9600 xt so whats up with that ?what arethe real differentses

any one knows?

that's all better video cards do, allow for better performance, ie better looking rendering. 3dmark is just a measurement of how much performance the card churns out

I'm prettys yre the 6800 is loads better than a 9600xt platinum.

It's a matter of tier/performance level more than which company makes it.
Nvidia 7800GTX > ATI X850XTPE > Nvidia 6800Ultra > ATI X800XL > Nvidia 6800GT > ATI 9800XT > Nvidia 6600GT > ATI 9800 PRO > Nvidia 5700LE > Ati's X300 HM > Nvidia's 6200 TC

ok thanks for the info me brother made from is 6800 a 6800 gt this morning with almost 8000 3dmark

but i got a question what drivers you prefer voor ati 9600 xt platinum ?
witch catalist drivers i mean

omegadrivers?
normal catalist drivers from ati.com 5.6 ? (if im correct)
ore must i use others for better preformance ?



thnx

Normal Catalyst drivers are version 5.6 right now.
Omega drivers are currently based on the catalyst 5.5 drivers, they won't update until catalyst 5.7 and they will be completely re-done. I'd just go with ATI Catalyst 5.6 and then up to omega later, unless you really like omega's interface, which most people never really see much anyway.
