i've taken dozens of screens so far in exactly the same positions to compare the lighting and texture resolution and i can't find a single difference on my 6800 GT. i think textures are uncompressed in high quality anyway, so the only thing that should (or could) change is the lighting.
can...
the real reason why the 6800 GT is the best card to get right now (unless you want to watercool an ultra or XT PE) is not because of SM 3.0 or any of that stuff. that is simply gravy. no the real value of the 6800 GT is the 16 pipes it has. in essence, it is an underclocked 6800 Ultra, or...
i had it with that piece of SHIT WinDVD garbage and took my sledge hammer to it tonight, and now I'm looking for something that actually FUCKING WORKS!
any ideas folks? :confused:
check out the NewEgg ad up at the top of the screen. now look at this picture:

I see people recommending the Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB for ~$180-200 today. Why?
Think about it people. If you buy a 9800 Pro today for ~$200, and you buy a X800 Pro 6-12 months from now for ~$200, then what money did you save exactly? None. You might as well buy the X800 Pro TODAY for $400...
