I feel like ati always has a "smoother" feel in games or is that just my imagination? Anyway I thank you guys for testing the cards but I still don't see a reason to get one if you already have a high clocking 8800gts.
This is a very good question when asking about the smoothness. This is not the first time I have heard someone say that gameplay with an ATI card is smoother than that of an nvidia card. I don't understand how a card as powerful as the 8800GTX can't play a game smoothly where as an ATI branded card can? Is there any truth to this? Are Nvidia cards really not as smooth and fluent when playing games when compared to an ATI card? What makes an ATI card smoother if the case may be so?
