I have the currently fastest graphics card (in some benchmarks Nvidia wins, in others, my card.) See sig. Very Happy

Yeah, but also keep in mind nVidia's recent 'driver cheating' with synthetic benchmarks, so that leads to the Radeon 9800 Pro beating the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra (NV35) in reality in more tests than preliminary benchmarks showed.

For those who didn't hear about nVidia's 'driver cheating' - most of it was with 3D Mark 2003, where the nVidia drivers would sense that 3DMark03 was running and would give higher numbers than usual and would lower image quality to give higher benchmark numbers. After that, it was found that they also implemented the simplest type of 'cheating' - if you rename 3DMark03.exe to something else, your nVidia card suddenly has a big performance dip in the benchmark. So nVidia's been under quite some scrutiny these days because of these attempts to illegitimately show that the NV35 (GF FX5900) is better than the Radeon 9800 Pro. As a result, there is no clear measure as to which is better - some games are nVidia-optimized while others play better on ATI.
