First, teh X800 has a faster clock, and ATi created GDDR3. which BOTH cards use
Doom3 is an opengl game, so ATi does worse
HL2 is a DirectX game, so ATi pwns.
Alright?
hands down ATi controls all DX9 Games but FarCry1.2 w/ Sm3.0, and only the 6800 does better in that.
Ut2k4, FarCry 1.1, HL2, All ATi
FarCry 1.2, Doom3, Nvidia
ARE YOU ON f**kING CRACK? HL1 is based on The Quake1/2 engines. HL2 uses its own engine, which ATi controls in perofrmance.
also the higher you set your settings the better ATi cards do, they are just more robust.
(even in the doom3 benchmarks, the higher the settings the more the ATi Cards climb up the ladder.)
Doom3 is not the standard, its the exception for new games, nearly all of them use DirectX now, and That is the area where ATi Controls.
Hell if u wanna use THG as a source. here, a X800 vs 6800U comparison at the site

anjd guess what they say is better? the x800
It doesn;t really matter much anymore, but ATi has supirior hardware, and drivers, if not as good marketing.
Now What you have to realize is you can't benchmark either of the 2 cards until christmas, the drivers are evolving too quicky, benchmarks can be tilted just by using an old driver version.
