| Re: SP1 performance in games Hi Superbill,
I checked the values closely and the cards used and I can see why you would think that. One card was missing though, the Nvidia 9800 X2, which is similar to the Radeon HD 3870 X2. Even so it's still a close thing with Nvidia just coming out on top. If the 9800 X2 had been included then it would have looked more in Nvidias favour as this card is a ripper.. I like ATI and wish they could release something akin to nvidia but at the moment this is not the case.(although we are talking a very few frames per second between them) Also it's not just how powerful card releases are, driver support is almost as important and again I feel ATI are not as strong as nvidia in this area.
