Do any of you guys have higher end ATI cards like the X800 series and up? I was just curious to know how they perform on more practical systems. :01:

Dunno' about the latest gen cards, but the 9800XT handles antialiasing better than a comparable NVIDIA card, I think :unsure: At least it looks that way to me.

If they've stayed true to form I reckon they'll make for a smoother picture. I still prefer NVIDIA, 'cos their drivers aren't as buggy, and their linux-support doesn't suck balls, but ati cards can certainly make games look nice.

Cool, My friend has a 9600XT which isnt great but on his 2.8 ghz compaq It gets some good fps on Counter-Stirke Source. This may sound stupid but because of that im goin for an ATI based card,the X800PRO for my new comp (PCI-E). Hopefully I wont be dissapointed. :unsure:

By definition, a "practical" system wouldn't have a high end card.
To make any use of these cards at all requires a pretty advanced (hence, impractical) machine.

You just made my point whilst completely missing it at the same time.
You're not schitzophrenic at all, are you?

I have a 9600XT. It's quite nice, considering it's low end.

Nice, is it an actual ATI or an ati based card made by a different manufacturer?

It's an ATI Viper Diamond. I don't know if it's made directly by ATI or not, but you can decide from the info I just gave you.

hey, I would be overjoyed with an ATI x800, since all I got is this 'ere ATI 9500 Pro. Still holds up with decent fps if I do say so myself, but not in hl2 with highest graphics :(.
