look duuuuuuude, 1 is @ @T1 fanbouy like all us ati bruth0rzs. We
don't care that ati gave us last gen tech at this gen price, we buy
because we loyal to ati yo yo i like mfi.
so what the x1900xtx doesn't do as well as the nvidia cards but some
how cost more, it stil manages to own the xbox 360 card, plus it has
better interim tech STD 3.5 uses. so there.

I bought an ATI because I don't choose to support Nvidia based
cards. I have my reasons stemming back from my years of gaming
hardware that I have put together, and lack of support they gave me
in the past for running a certain favorite game of mine. I also
choose not to spend too much money at the present time on any newly
released hardware beause the semiconductor industry are rapidly
changing and improving on our technologies, causing rapid price
decreases, and the current crop of games don't please me too much in
terms of replayability. Sure I'm excited by technologyies such as
the newly announced ATI XTX1900 which does things better than a
7800GTX512 for the time being (give it a month or so until Nvidia
comes back hard on ATI), but ....
anyways, I'm not such a moose$@#$er as you think I am.

You got a low score because you have moose #%#&$ where your brain
should be. Moron you have a low score because your CPU is
antiquated and you made a horribly bad decision on your graphics
card. Why in the world would you buy a SM 2.0 card from ATI after
Nvidia had already released 2 generations of SM 3.0 cards. I guess
you were one of the idiots that believed or said that SM 3.0 support
doesn't matter. If you haven't figured out how wrong you were yet
'06 should teach your moose humping arse a tough lesson.

Your get a low score becuase your cpu is average at best and your
graphics card is only a mid range card and far from being a high
performer.
This 3dmark test is made for very high end equipment that most of us
don't have.

Hey how come my post here got removed?
I posted about why is my ATI X800XL which is a mainstream mid range
graphics card, it runs the new 3dmark06 benchmark with severe choppy
framerates on the SM2.0 tests. I get less than 1000 score. I have
2GB of dual channel ram, albeit a slower processor an AMD XP 2500,
but runs every game in 1280*1024 very well. Even breezes through the
last 3DMark05 with over 5000 marks.
Did my post get removed because of my comment about...
If 3dmark-detects-ati-then-post-final-score-less-30-percent
I don't get it

We'll look into that for the future, but only because you're an
X-Com fan.

it would have been nice they have added the AGP cards scores too...
in the medium and high end section.. Although i don;t expect much
changes but there are quite a significant changes in the core clock
speed of AGP cards and their PCI-E counterparts... so it would have
been a good thing for lot of users.

3dmark06 is pixel shader bound , contrary to 3dm2k5 that is mostly a
vertex shader benchmark. So here is where Geforce cads feels at
home.. with pixel shaders. Even thought the latest GTX512 destroy
the 1800xt in games and any 3dmark benchamrk ,because is really
fast. earlier Geforce's 7 and Geoforce6 now are showing is pixel
shader potential. There no conpirancy here.. just that the 1800xt is
a very imbalanced product. Most next generation games like Unreal3
engines will be Pixel shader intensive. with HDR support just like
3dmark 06.
