Some people have complained that NVIDIA was cheating in games by leaving out certain details in games and so we decided to put the Radeon HD3870 and NVIDIA's 8800GT to the test.
Screenshots were taken in-game and crops were taken out for comparison.
In the first 2 pictures, we can discern a slight difference with the HD3870 giving better tonal range in the glass and at the curved edge, we can see that slightly more detail is rendered on the HD3870 than the 8800GT. In the next set of pictures, we can't discern the differences as easily.
There seems to be just that smidgen more detail in the surface of the rocks on the HD3870. In both instances, the differences are very minute and we can't say for sure that they would be noticed in gameplay or how much of a performance impact would be caused.
