    I see what I see, and you see what you see. I can't make you see what I see, but I can tell you what I see is not what you see. Truth is, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is what those around us see. And what we don't see is... well, conspiracies.

    Recent numbers for UE3 engines show that there is less than a 5% FPS dip from enabling 4xAA & 16xAF. Until I see pictures & a video of the benchmark that was run I am in doubt these games are working correctly; it is simply too good to believe.

    Prey has a newer engine, your better of at looking at those numbers.

    Offtopic: do you play ET too? (it's a free multiplayer game)

    no, i only play games that are completely far fetched and have no basis in real life (tribes vengeance atm.) The prey numbers are also very good, with the 2900 solidly beating the GTS even with AA and high res. this is just the feeling i got from every review site, all the games based on doom 3 engine run very good on the 2900.

    I hope to see the same price too,but we'll never see that happen....EVER...if it's really supposed to be the GTX killer as promised,i think we won't be paying 400 bucks for it....
