I like to think my image quality is 100%, I stayed away from geforce FX due to Nvidia's past optimisations (shader replacement etc). I always use FSAA and anisotropic filtering in games, and im tired of this 9600's "brilinear" filtering, which causes problems in a few games (visible mipmap transitions on surfaces). I like the fact Nvidia has sorted out their image quality with the geforce 6 series and the Directx 9.0c compliance is also nice. Catalyst A.I. doesnt suit my tastes at all.

Edit: The seperate Direct3D and OpenGL settings are useful to me, due to the games i play i find 4x FSAA + 8x aniso is good for OpenGL and 2x FSAA + 8x aniso is good for Direct3D games without killing the framerate.

man how does your rig blow mine away?

I have AMD Athlon XP 2700 (overclocked to 2.3 ghz)
MSI K7N2 Delta-L 400 Mhz
1.5 gigs of PC3200 Kingston ram (3 dimms)
BFG GeForce FX 5500 256 meg OC (i overclocked even more)

my previous test got 468 but im gonna test it with my few minor ajustments... is the 9600 ATI that much better than the 5500?

The FX5500 is just an FX5200 with the chip clock increased from 250 to 270mhz. Its an entry-level card comparable to radeon 9550...the 9600 is clocked higher and its in a different price class

Edit: Try taking out 1 of those ram sticks, it may help... and install the latest Forceware drivers (I can provide those if you want)

Yes the FX5500 is just an upgrade of the FX5200 so to make things better sell that "low end" card and replace it with something that has more balls.

Did you find a PCP addict that's into video games or something? You can get them brand new for much less than that, and they aren't worth it then, either...

haha no. its 80 for the card to him and teh extra 20 is for Dues Ex 2...

You had me confused there. I thought you meant you were getting the game, which would be rediculous, even though it's not exactly the greatest game... Still, that's a pretty good deal on your part.
