LIES, HISSSSSSSSSS. NVIDIA is far superior! With ati-tvout turn the kettle on and you get some distortion, turn the microwave on and the screen goes crazy, hairdryer and even my TV interfered with the signal (i tested by outputting it into my old vivo nvidia) with ATI I got all manner of lines on my tv, blurs and channel interference. Now the clincher is that nvidia have spotted the issues with ati tvout and they've put in a little circuit somewhere in the tvout hardware which actively cancels out any interference. While I was investigating the differences between the cards I read about this somewhere and when I first used nvidia TVout it was a noticeable difference. I used to be a big fan of ATI, I thought that transform was wonderful and that the chips were much better quality and faster. Then I saw what nvidia can do, they make much better chips on all levels, 3D performance is far better even on the low end cards and there is of course the nvidia linux advantage (nvidia's drivers are wicked on linux and much more stable than their windows drivers and better than the ATI firegl drivers), I defected from ATI to NVIDIA, I'm much happier with their hardware, their linux support, the 3D performance... So much so, I forked out for a 6800GT which plays doom3 happily in my desktop at 70fps+ with cinematic effects turned on (ultra extreme quality mod), and of course, in Linux! Get nvidia, the way its meant to be played </rant> Regards, Karl ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
