    ATI Catalyst 4.7 vs 4.9 beta in Doom 3

    Well, always remember that not everyones performance pans out the same. My experience with the humus tweak has been great. I play in 1024 X 768 on high settings on a 9800Pro overclocked to XT speed. Also have a mobile 2400 @ 2.3 ghz and 512MB PC 3200 ram. Here is how things broke down for...

    id Software's Official DOOM3 Benchmarks

    4GB of ram for the first set of benches? 2GB of Ram for the 2nd? Custom timedemos? Come on.... This whole Doom 3 "benchmarking" seems to go against everything HARDOCP is trying to establish themselves with 'playable' settings.

    I didn't feel like paying $300-500 for a video card, and I didn't feel like waiting..

    Yes! I got in on a sweet 9800Pro deal from Nexx on these forums and it runs rock solid at 435/390 and it easily handles Farcry! Farcry loooks SOOOOOOOOOOO damn good with my 9800Pro versus my old GF4TI 4200. And it runs much faster! :D

    The "I took the Plunge" Thread. What card did you just order/get?

    Bought up a 9800PRO with Arctic Cooler and OCZ Ramsinks from Nexx to replace my GF4 TI 4200. Got it last Wednesday! Have it running in my computer stable at 440/390 in 3D games so I am very happy! :D Thanks Nexx! I'll probably jump on a 6800GT when it drops around $250 bucks.

    Catalyst Beta 4.7 Drivers....New type of AA, WMV Acceleration, better IQ, and SPEED!

    Farcry performance was exactly the same for me with the 4.6 versus the 4.7 betas.

    First x600 sighting

    Why would you buy this instead of a 9800Pro? They are the same price! You would have to be really hard up for PCI-E card to take such a performance sacrifice.

    Going from nvidia to ati

    I just went from a nvidia to ATI card with no problems and no reinstallation of windows. A couple steps it isn't too hard. Just need to uninstall your nvidia drivers from the control panel. Reboot into safe mode and run driver cleaner. Then reboot back into windows with your ati card and...

    BestBuy and their trustability

    Ahh, I see. Check out this preorder from GameVE. The July 26 for the ULTRA may be accurate. http://www.gameve.com/gve/Store/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=VC-BFG-006 Their target ship date is exactly the same as the rumored BestBuy ship date (July 26.).

    BestBuy and their trustability

    I understand you want your card, and hopefully they'll ship out soon. I would just relax and give it a few more days. As for cards in stock, always call of course, but CompUPlus is advertising 6800GT available but they are charaging $429. :(...

    BestBuy and their trustability

    Maybe BestBuy is stockpiling daily shipments from BFG and plan to try and send out all the orders at once? Who knows. But if you are so offended by Bestbuys practices cancel your order and get it from somewhere else. No need to beat up on the BFG rep. He can just do the best job he can at...

    6800 vs 9800XT

    If you play in 1024 X 768 a 9800XT and 6800NU are close in performance. If you play higher the 6800 usually wins but there are times when the 9800XT hangs close. Synthetic benchmarks (3dmark) are nice for bragging rights but that is about it.

    Best bang for buck... 9800pro through 5900 XT

    Guys, he is looking for something around a budget price. $300 isn't exactly budget price. :p I've been with Nvidia every upgrade, but this time I went with a 9800PRO to replace my GF4 TI 4200. Looking at benches, it looks like the 9800PRO should be able to handle Doom 3, Half Life 2, and...

    Doom 3 twice as fast on 6800?

    Ohhh nice. Running at nearly 70FPS on an old beta @ 1024 X768 with a 128 MEG 9800 PRO in a system that is worse than what I have (Because of age, obviously. Looked top line at the time). Can't wait to get my 9800PRO in the mail and play Doom 3! :eek:
