ATI Trashes NVIDIA In Physics!

Will you believe it if we tell you that ATI cards will trash NVIDIA cards in physics acceleration by over 50%? You wouldn't believe it, right?

Then check out these benchmarks of three ATI graphics cards versus the vaunted NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX in the boulder test!

Great article. C Lee Yu has done it again

WOW

As nVidia fan I'm still shocked!!!

Anyway, the article was very interesting to read and makes me really wonder what will be my next Video Card

(did I hear someone said X1900 XTX...

)

Like stated in the article, as both ATI and nVidia won't release any drivers that support "Physics Accelaration" soon nor PC Games will support it soon, I see no point in going for ATI Video Card.

Meanwhile, I'll stay with my recent upgrade, my lovely XFX 6800GS xXx Edition...
