HardOCP needs to be fair

Strange how over half the people in that very thread are having bad results witht nVidia and Madden 2004. Conspiracy? Doubtful. If you spent your energy actually portraying fact and less time attempting to skew tidbits here or other people might take you serious....

I could say the same about you. You point out the facts you want to hear and ignore all the rest.

And you call two nOObs over half of the people in the thread? lol

The first one said it was choppy even at 1024x768. Thats definitely a driver or game patch issue.

Usually the ones that are getting choppyness are not running the best drivers for their system or the issue lies somewhere else in their system. When most all the veteran users are getting good performance results you can bet there is nothing wrong with the cards performance.

Alot of the games out there just need to be patched for the new drivers and NV40's. The X800's are having less issues because of the fact their just building on where the 9800 pro left off. The NV40's on the other hand are a whole new series with new features.

Your going to have game issues with a 6800u or X800XT PE ither one. Usually those issues get addressed in driver updates and future game patches.

What drivers are you using I am using 61.71 and run madden 2004 at 1280 x 1024 with 8x aa and 16x af with all details on max and it runs super smooth.

Madden 2004 is super smooth. I play both at 1600x1200 4xAA/8xAF.

I have MVP 2004 and i'm playing it at 1600X1200 AA 4X AF 8X at quality and no problems at all gl bro.

Here is another:

Not too sure about Madden nor MVP, but I am getting very good framerates in Tiger Woods 2004 in 1600x1200x32 with Maximum rendering settings and a 6800GT....

I can tell you for the short time I had my GT 1600x1200 with 4xAA and 16xAF was not playable, not at 35-50fps anyways. 1600x1200 with 2xAA and 8xAF runs Far Cry great 35-60 fps all the time. Im sure sports games are less demanding then Far Cry so 1600x1200 with everything maxed should be fine.

eVGA 6800 GT using 61.34

1600x1200 4xAA/8xAF, all game settings maxed

nba2004 (1 quarter)
Avg: 62.861 - Min: 49 - Max: 301
* not sure where the 301 comes from, might want to look at min here

madden2004 (each team had the ball once)
Avg: 59.042 - Min: 44 - Max: 63

mvp2004 (1 inning)
Avg: 46.054 - Min: 40 - Max: 61

TW2004 (Bethpage - Black, 1 hole)
Avg: 63.452 - Min: 28 - Max: 157
Edit: Seems the first hole was an easy one for the card. The 2nd hole of the same course I'm dipping into the teens quite a bit. It does fine as long as you're on the fairway but get into the rough or around a lot of foilage and the framerate drops quite a bit.

And there are plenty more threads like that on nV News if anyone is interested in seeing what settings people are finding "playable" on the 6800's.

do you know whats really funny??? he backed up his arguement AGAIN with nvnews.....i wish he didnt let nvnews make up his opinion for him...he should really try other sites.....

 

[lorcani]

Sorry, it's too late, what are you arguing about?

 

[xSyzygy666x]

he keeps saying that the 6800gt is superior in everyway than the x800pro and that [H]ardocp isnt trustworthy reviewers....and the only evidence he gives of this comes from NVnews....

he may be quoting that site a lot but if you look at past posts he has backed up evidence using other review sites too

I wouldnt blow your lightbulb on either tranCendenZ or burningrave they are loyal nvidia pr reps. take a looksee around other forums!
Most Normal people know both the 6800GT and the X800Pro are very close cards indeed and the reviews still show that.So all it comes down to is which companys product you have been most happy with.Me i have yet to have a problem with either ATI or the catalyst drivers.Unfortunatly i cant say the same with nvidia and there forceware drivers
The lack of X800XT's is somewhat of a worry though?

(I AGAIN ) Say to you burningave, If you are so wanting to prove brent and [H] wrong about madden and a couple of other games not running smooth @1600x1200 4xAA/8xAF? Then please please be our guest and post your own personal stats from your card?
This is the second time i have asked you this as the first time you went quite and said you were working on benchmarks?
Well the easiest way for people to take you seriously about what you are claiming, is post proof of your card doing it its self?@ default speed as brent and kyle both did.?

As all this hearsay you keep posting from NVnews is just that hearsay = no clear proof just someone saying yeah i can play smooth@4xAA/8xAF
So i and im shore acouple of other people here are waiting to see the results of YOUR tests to prove Brent wrong? seems as so you think [H]'s reviews are so lopsided(Prove them wrong with your benchmarks?
