Since then, I have upgraded to a ATI 9800XT. Very expensive card, but it looks so much better and runs way faster. My fps went up about 300% switching to the 9800XT vs the Nvidia 5600 Ultra.
So let me get this straight. You bought a card from the bottom end, 5600. With very few pipes, low core and memory speed. A card which you would very well have KNOWN would not perform that well in a lot of games [especially dx9 ones] if you had read ONE SINGLE review. Then you compare it to the top end 9800XT and say "WOW ITS ALOT FASTAR....NVIDIA SUX".
Are we supposed to learn something from your post, other than the fact that you have astonishingly bad self perception regarding your own poor judgement?
Please, come to my fictitious car dealership. I'll sell you a little geo metro with 90 horsepower and then show you reviews pitting it up against a porsche. Then you can buy the Geo, pretend to act all surprised that is isn't winning any drag races, THEN go out and buy the porsche instead.
It's wankers like you that probably keep the American economy rolling. You buy two of everything that you don't need, then pretend like its someone elses fucking fault.
