Gamers Depot did some Halo and Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness quality and performance tests. You can guess there's a bit of foul play involved.

Nvidea == BFPS The new standard in frames per sec. Blurry frames per sec. Have they really taken the eye of the ball that badly. It reminds me off Intel V Amd a few years back.

hahaha, this whole driver cheating thing is very amusing.

Ok, Nvidia did it wrong with NV30. That FX5800 "hair-drier" edition was a complete failure. Nvidia realized the mistake and released NV35, 256-bit memory controler, double PS2.0 performance... but still this bad?
I wonder how the FX5800 perform. It should be terrible to those die-hard Nvidia fans who bought this $400 piece of hardware.

hey nuno, let's get the facts right... its not a 400 dollar piece of hardware, but its a 400 dollar jet engine! Its quite a good deal for some jet engine that can produce 80dB of volume
