All forum threads seem to end in a argument, especially the ones Ati v Nvidia and the Intel v Amd threads. To be honest this is all good hardware we are seeing and the diffences between are very small. This is my opinion on the latest hardware.
X800xt - d3d gaming
6800u - Ogl gaming
Both very good cards, personally I prefer the X800, but thats through my own experiences.
And as for the new processors out, I find the "A64 owns gaming" a bit of an exageration.
I mean the difference between say the new 3800+ and the 3.8prescott is so very small. Ok the 3800+ may pull out an extra 5 frames in the latest benches, But when you are talking 60frames+ can you really tell the difference. I know the difference is 10 times bigger in Intels favour when you try and do decoding/encoding. Admittaly the FX line are absolute beasts but at £500+, they ought to be.
The bottom line is all the new hardware out is pretty amazing and the future looks good.
Just my 2p worth.
Cue flaming lol
