I don't give a crap about brand in video cards. My short list has gone from Voodoo3, Voodoo5, ATI 9600 Pro, Nvidia 5900, ATI X800 XL, Nvidia 7800 GS, ATI X850 Pro to a box waiting for the PC to be assembled this weekend containing an Nvidia 8800 GTX. I like both companies and their products and I want both to stay healthy, innovative and competative.
As far as CPUs go that's a different story. Intel is so massive compared to AMD and with such deep pockets I fear that there is a very real chance of them facing little or no competition in the future. We don't need a "Microsoft" situation in processor choice and innovation, so I support AMD.

Don't get snippy because my post is an affront to you sig. I contributed to the topic and the poll. If I want to add a little off-topic at the end (and it's barely off-topic), that's my business.

It's impossible on an nVidia, period. You may have both turned on in Oblivion, but the nVidia card is only doing one or the other, not both. It's not a question of software or drivers, either. It is a hardware limitation.Then how come I play Oblivion with HDR and 4x AA and 8x AF?

If you have an X1k series ATI card, it can do both.
I just checked, it's actually Bloom, sorry for the confusion.
What does Ashen mean by fp16 games anyway?

LoL, that extra 256MB on anything lower than X1800XT will hardly do anything.It's a shame this thing is so old. It would own on SM3.0. I'm keeping this thing forever!! I have a 512MB X1300 for SM3.0 if I ever NEED it.

x1800xl's overclock too, you dont have to voltmod xl's though (unless youre going ott)
im not knocking the thing, its just i dont consider my card to be anywhere near one of most powerful, and i upgraded to this FROM an x850 (oblivion scared me into going for pixel shader 3)
was it worth the upgrade though...er, no not really IMHO
