ExtremeTech have thrown up a image quality comparison between Nvidia's GeForce 6800 and ATi's Radeon X800! Here's a byte.
The recent introduction of the GeForce 6800 and Radeon X800 has sparked a lot of debate about the relative merits of different graphics cards. NVidia chose to offers full support for Pixel and Vertex Shader model 3.0 and other features in DirectX 9.0c, while ATI avoided such new technologies for now, instead focusing on raw performance.
We dove deep into the new nVidia's architecture and performance in our earlier preview, then followed suit with a deep examination of ATI's new card. These articles, and most others like them, have focused on the performance and features of these new GPUs from the top two graphics companies. Here, however, we will focus primarily on issues of image quality, examining texture filtering and anti-aliasing quality.
