9600GT SLI trumps HD3870X2
http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquir...bble-25feb2008

EXPREVIEW HAS AN interesting test set aside for us. With the performance figures of the 9600GT, the ubergeeks weren’t satisfied until they could get SLI numbers up. Not only that, but they also flung an HD 3870X2 into the fray. According to the site, as a 9600GT SLI combo will run you 50 bucks cheaper than an X2, facing off SLI vs. Crossfire seemed a no-brainer. Well, much to the surprise of many, you can see here how 9600GT SLI delivers better performance than an 3870X2 in non-synthetic benchmarks. X2 still has a marginal lead in 3DMark, though.

If you’re a HD buff, you might be interested in what Hardspell has to offer you. They’ve taken Intel’s new E8200 CPU and benched it against its gran, uncles, father, mother, brothers, cousins and even members of the other clan. The 2.66GHz Wolfdale-based CPU beats the heck out of its relatives, except the E6850 and E6750. In the AMD camp, everything above the 5600+ beats the E8200 hands-down. Interesting how real life benchmarks tend to show different results, eh? Read it here.

Chappies at Benchark Reviews have been enjoying quick boots and great performance on a sample Mtron MOBI MSD-SATA3025, a “value� 16GB SSD. Although SSD is still quite expensive, and will remain so for some time, This Mtron kit is seen as the choice SSD for mobile users, even though it’s only 16GB in capacity. Performance is nothing to be ashamed of, especially when they were facing off the MOBI with a WD 10K Raptor. You might want to skip the first couple of pages as they are pastes of Mtron documents.

Fudzilla’s Kucharik has been busy in the lab. Drawn to an E8400 like moths to a fire, Fudzilla has benched the heck out of (a retail) one and achieved a mas sive overclock (not with the stock cooler, of course). Pumping a little bit more voltage to the VCore, 1.6V to be more precise, it got to 4.4GHz. Fudo’s chaps test it on 4 different mobos, each one with its particular pros and cons, but the overall results earned it their top value award. Read the Overclocking odyssey here.

Coolink is a manufacturer of ... uhm... cooling systems. However, they differ from the usual formula by going after the smaller component cooling, like hard drives, chipsets and now graphics cards. It isn’t expensive either. Hardware Canucks had a go with their GFXchilla, a heat-pipe/fans combo for your graphics card. Even though HC found some minor glitches, the cooling performance is above-average and acoustically the low-profile dual 80mm fans are nowhere to be heard. The price is right, it seems. Just make sure you check the card compatibility list before you buy one. Read all about it.

Apple’s MacBook Pro is on collision course with an Asus Lamborghini VX2S down at XBit (this is a review we’d like to see done by Jeremy Clarkson...) Actually, according to the author, Ilya, the MacBook seems to be way ahead of the game in oh-so many aspects, battery life included. 3D performance is surprisingly decent for a laptop – for both of them, actually. Draw your own conclusions here.

Niko down at Red and Blackness received a nice little piece of kit in the mail. Remember that GSkill DDR2 on an 8-layer PCB? Well, they’ve tested it and they’ve come to appreciate the new design. It’s fast and it overclocks better than the competition.

On ATIs camp drivers could still be improved since ATi is developing drivers optimized for 3d mark. just for review purposes. And not yet for some games. And also ATI overall has better graphics quality than NVidia.
and Besides the 680i chipsets are not that of a hype in overclocking.

aw.. sige lang di-ay sila optimize sa ila driver? wa sila lain mabuhat, say, make better cards?

And also ATI overall has better graphics quality than NVidia.

care to show proof? thanks.

::OPINIONS::

care to show proof? thanks.

This is just my opinion. It may be NVidia is in the lead but somehow they lower the image quality setting.
No proofs just my experience in the past years. I had a chance using NVidia Cards before and most internet cafes use NVidia Cards. Somehow ATI has sharper image quality. I have Nvidia before and I have observed that the image quality is quite dull not sharp or has the clarity as ATI cards. Also this can be attributed that ATI cards has more Hi definition capability.

Before I red this article study on the net I myself have observed the image quality of Both parties.

I'm not an ATI fanboy I would have purchased NVidia a long time ago but there are really differences in the quality of image but not that big though. In my case image quality is a big factor. But its really very small difference. Although some won't consider this as a factor because NVidia really coped up with image quality based on the performance and speed. ATI has more acurate colors and more natural while NVidia has more glare and intensity and high contrast on colors which is good for gaming.

It is really based on personal preference.

ATI had far superior IQ till the 8800 series came out, ATi nor Nvidia does not have "more accurate colors" since those things differ from ones perception of "real" colors.The only common thing both companies can be compared is based on the AF/AA/Shadow rendering qualities.

soley based on reviews, the 8800 series has been proven to deliver "better" gaming image quality as compared to ATI, no comprehensive reviews upto date that shows the current RV670 is doing better than the G92, but in terms of hardware video decoding ATI is almost always the first to integrate something new hardware decoders for their cards.
