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?
I had a similar problem with some games... When you put tones of eyecandy in a game at a specific resolution the game feels heavy and loaded with detail and you feel somekind of lag when you move in the game even if you have more than 30fps constant..Usually nvidia wasn't so good when activating eyecandy.They just aren't so eficient..The same thing is happening now with 2900xt vs 8800GTS..When you increase the resolution the 8800 can't keep up..This translates in higher value for the lowest fps in specific scene..I speak from my experience over time with gaming..
