Overall maybe its a draw but by your own 3DMark PNG files its not.

Right behind the center soldier there is a vertical brownish support beam against the wall to the huge canistor or resivoir thing .

Nvidia doesnt smooth it out and it stands out like a sore thumb right in the center of the screenshots.

Also if you look at the side of the crates or boxed that same soldier is standing the Orange lines are completely visable on the ATi screenshots where as in the Nvidia screenshots they are gratuadetly thinned out.

Probably also want to explane the differance of..
Nvidias using FP16
&
ATi using FX16
+
MultiSampling

» Are you blind ?
Sorry for this to be my fist post but man this article is totally miss-leading.

3DMark
"it is almost impossible to tell a difference"

To me its obvious Nvidia isnt doing AA nearly as good as ATi yet you cant see the differance at all.
That in it of itself is troubling to say the least.

The article is full of ATi shortcoming from your perspective yet you can't seam to find any Nvidia ones.

HDR+AA ?

Nvidia does a very poor job with HDR. Wonder why that wasn't tested. There transitioning from lights to darks are extremely poor. Like its doing the transition in software mode.

Another site had a Image Comparison with HDR and it look very aweful on Nvidias. All the shadows were blocky and the lighting didn't transition as smooth or at all. Looked more like the entire image was brighten instead of transitioning the light sources and its effect on the enviorments. Cheap way to do it but that wasnt looked into or doesnt matter to you guys.
