Battle OfThe 256MB Graphics CardsRadeon 9800 Pro 256MB Vs. GeForce FX 5900 UltraATi'sCatalyst 3.4 Drivers and 256MB R9800 Pro Vs. The NewNVIDIA FlagshipBy -May 20, 2003On May 12th weshowcased our review of NVIDIA's follow-on product to theNV30, based on NVIDIA's NV35core.
This card from the Santa Clara based designteam, is a high end 'enthusiast' offering targeted atdelivering the best performance and image quality,regardless of cost. As such, NVIDIA outfitted theirnew flagship with 256MB of DDR Memory at 850MHz. Ofcourse the Engineering and Marketing teams at ATi had fullknowledge of NVIDIA's impending launch at the time andbegan readying their 256MB variant of the Radeon 9800 Pro.However, as we reported to you back in March, inand,ATi was going the way of DDR2 at 700MHz with this newcard, slightly faster and with better latencycharacteristics than the 128MB variant, which comesclocked at 680MHz memory.At the time wewere testing the new GFFX 5900 Ultra, we didn't get thenew Radeon 9800 Pro 256 into our lab in time to include itin our battery of benchmarks. Deadlines were loomingand although it would have been possible in theory, to beable to include this new entrant from ATi, sleepdeprivation took hold of our team and a last minutedecision was made to uphold our 'quality' in reporting toyou, rather than quantity. So here we are today,with a couple more hours of beauty-rest in our overworkedand underpaid bodies and a head to head match up of THEfastest 3D Accelerators on the market today.

We'regoing to keep the chatter and technical analysis to aminimum in this showcase. If you would like arefresh on where these base architectures came from,please click the links above.

Frankly we're a little uncertain with respectto validity of this suite of benchmarks, as rumors andaccusations fly in the media of NVIDIA's alleged'optimizations' (or cheating depending on who you talk to)on both 2001 and 2003 benchmarks. We have yet toprove out some of these claims ourselves in our labs, sofor now we'll include these scores as a component of ourtotal performance metric between the two cards.These scores are only a piece of the complete picture andsince the tests are 'synthetic' in a general sense, theyonly correlate loosely with respect to real world gamingperformance.The GFFX5900Ultra and the 256MB R9800 Pro are neck and neck here, whenyou look at the standard scores, without Anti-Aliasing inthe mix.
Actually, the R9800 card has a moresignificant lead in the default benchmark, until youinvoke 4X AA. Then the GFFX5900 Ultra pulls ahead bya healthy margin, with its higher over all memorybandwidth most likely giving it the edge.Next Up - 3DMark 2003and Serious Sam SE.
