    well, this would explain the curious discrepancy between far cry 2 and crysis benches

    I don't think you can make any comparison between the Far Cry 2 and Cysis benchmarks. Those 2 games use completely different engines.

    We need a 3rd company to make decent video cards. Would help keep others in line and keep the out. Bah who am I kidding. It would just add to the pile of wouldn't it?

    Well ATI's turn....

    Companies exist to make money and to do so they will do pretty much anything to make their product look good, in other words, a 3rd company would indeed just add to the pile of bs.

    Anyway, does anyone actually play crysis regularly or is it just used as a benchmark like 3dmark?

    If the posted picture comparison is the best you got I'd rather take the extra fps since I don't see any difference. Unnoticeable optimisations

    yeah... they must've totally faked that screenshot. In fact, I believe they first fabricated the "banding difference" pic with the black background and dots, and then applied it on the original screenshots so it would look like banding. cmon guys, we are talking about ATI here. what'd they ever to do us ?
    Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
    INTEL Core i7 920 // ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 // OCZ 3G1600 6GB // POWERCOLOR HD5970 // Cooler Master HAF 932 // Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme // SAMSUNG T260 26"

    oh your right, my mistake.
    well, that certainly explains the discrepancy lol.


    you can get the nvidia cards to do this if you go into the control panel and change texture filtering from "quality" to "high performance" iirc.

    well, they are based on different engines...
    but it would def explain why ati cards rock in crysis and fall back up to 30% in other games.

    difference:

    to all the people claiming you dont see it on the screenshots, use the mouseover script on pcgh... much better to compare it that way, and youll see how it goes from sharp to blurr and from aniso to bilinear

    and this is a still... if you move the textures will flicker a lot...

    and if crysis is no big deal and nobody plays it, then why did ati cheat and risk ruining their pr karma?

    aniso to bilinear?
    There has been a difference in the texture filtering methods of ati and nvidia for quite some time.What's the big deal now?

    and this is a still... if you move the textures will flicker a lot...

    and if crysis is no big deal and nobody plays it, then why did ati cheat and risk ruining their pr karma?
    How much is lot? iirc ati had a lower texture LOD in crysis that gave sharper textures than nvidia but also with more flickering.
    Their pr karma? wtf belated april fools'?

    You seem to have periodical troubles with ati filtering, what gives?

    difference:
    Looks the same to me. Mountain out of a mole hill?
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
