video card question

can any one tell me what video card is better nvidia fx 5700 ultra or ati 9800 pro i cant find any info that compare the two so can some one tell me what they think

 

9800pro

 

Personally, I would say the ATI is the better product, however, that's out of preferance. I think they've got very similar specs, so in reality, choose the one you prefer.
If you were prepared to spend a bit more, the 9800XT is a better option, and is a hands down winner over the 5700Ultra.

 

i have had both before and the 5700 U is better

ps i have the chaintec 5700 U 128 ggddr3 and it runs better then my 9800pro did any day of the week

 

I really do think it's down to preference. if you look at the VGA Charts 3, at tom's hardware guide - http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031229/index.html - you'll see that the 9800Pro outperforms the 5700U. Of course, these results also would vary depending on your graphics setup (things like AA, AF, resolution, quality settings, etc), as well as the rest of your rig. If you have, for example, a P3 500MHz machine, it won't matter what kinda GFX card you have, as the cpu itself will cause a bottleneck.

 

true and its not like i have a slow pc

like i said i tryed both and the 5700Uis better

that also true in this case lol

 

Actually, to be fair, I have an ATI gfx card now, but my previous card (which actually was a 5700U) was pretty good. I just changed yesterday to an X800Pro, but only cause I could get it for free.

 

can anyone tell me where to find stats that compare the two please

 

Not to be rude, but the link I posted above for you (in http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=476944&postcount=5), on the first page, there is a complete breakdown of stats for both cards (and a few more). It also benchmarks both cards for comparison.
You could at least look at replies before you ask a question that's already been answered.
