HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAH
Most of ati's features are useless?? LMAO What have nvidia come up with thats so innovative? Fsaa oh thats right they copied 3dfx on that one.
Nivida's only innovation to date has been hardware t&l and that going on 3 years old now as it was in the original geforce 256.
Plus it is a useless feature. 3dfx were right when they released the vodoo 5, hardware t&l was pointless because cpu's were becoming so fast it negated the need for it. But all the drones who seen 3d mark the nvidia benchmark went out and bought nvidia cards even though there was nothing really innovative about them at all.
Anyone else think its funny since the death of 3dfx nvidia have had no new innovations? Nvidia stole and infringed on 3dfx patents left right and centre then bought them out because the court case was flying in 3dfx's favour.
The only real innovater is ati with their truform which gives a more realistic image which is the whole goal of 3d graphics. gaming isn't about retarded framerates with sub par graphics so you can boast "i run quake 3 at .35fps faster than you".
Nvidia always go for speed while letting the visuals suffer whereas ati and 3dfx in their last few years where concentrating on more realistic graphics.
People are soon gonna wake up and realise that optomisations are made in the graphics of games for a better frame rate. 60fps is more than playable who needs 130 fps? Anything over 60 is just for bragging rights.
Personally id take a game with outstanding graphics running at 60fps than a game running with sub-par graphics running at 150 fps anyday of the week.

btw, they cheated themself on top of the benchmarks.
They released 'slightly modified' drivers for all Quake III benchmarks (read: fps tests) made by magazines and websites. Radeon 8500 scored slightly faster than the Geforce 3 cards. That's because with the modified drivers used by ATI it dramaticly decreased image quality to get the extra fps boost. That's the only reason they scored faster than the Geforce 3.
Also, Doom 3 is one of the many next generation games that will be on top of Geforce 3 and nothing else.
And your pointing to ATI's website? Huh?
Radeon 8500 has horrible drivers as well. And a Geforce 2 Ti is better than the Radeon 7500. To quote William O'Neal from Computer Gaming world Magazine:
"The only reason we'd recommend buying the Radeon 7500 over the Geforce 2 Ti is to help the Canadian economy. Then again, who really cares about the canadian economy anyway, eh?"

nVidiot: Human being brainwashed by false statements and propaganda from nVidia Corp. into believing all things GeForce are of the highest of superiority and defy all logical grounds of video cardness. Belief in 3Dmark2001 Benchmark scores regardless of quality, functionability, and compatability is a common worship and religion of these fundamentalists. However do not take these poor souls lightly they are armmed heavily with propeganda, false statements, DetonatorXPs, and GeForces. Remember nVidiots come in all shapes and sizes. Be on guard or you will be assimilated.
