Superior visual quality: We’ve said it in the past and we’ll say it again. If you want the best visual quality, ATI’s DirectX 9 offerings are the best around. ATI’s anti-aliasing engine looks sharper than NVIDIA’s, some have even likened ATI’s 2x AA to NVIDIA’s 4x AA implementation. And with sample rates as high as 6x available, even the most discriminating gamer should be in heaven.

As far as anisotropic filtering goes, ATI has a very compelling solution. Their offerings are more flexible than NVIDIA’s and look just as good if not better. Another important advantage ATI’s AF solution has over NVIDIA’s is their reduced performance hit (which you can see in our GeForce FX 5900 Ultra preview article). As an added bonus, you lose very little texture quality when going from ATI’s “performance” mode for AF to “quality” (the default setting).

Hehe, been saying it for 6 months. Nvidia can't even come close to the sweet bliss of ATIs image quality.

Why are there so many ATI fans in these forums...

Aaahhh, and they're right too...

But I'd rather be found dead than have an ATI card in my case...!

Care to elaborate on your disliking of ATI hardware?:D

No, I'd rather not at this time...

To emotional...;)

Wait 'till I have my GeForceFX 5900 ULTRA!

Well either way. Anyone with a R3xx based card or a NV35 based card should be happy/proud gamer.:dance:

This is very true. Both excellent cards. Should be interesting competition when NV40 and R400 come out :)

Looking forward to the launch of the R400. I bought one of the first R300/R9700Pro cards hitting The Netherlands in June 2002. Still very happy about it's performance. Will probably stick with the card until the R400 unless the R360 will be very impressive, which I dount as it seems only a slightly improved R350 (clock speeds)
