The 6800GT is worse than ti4200 for high end graphics!!!

I installed my brand new geForce 68000 GT and opened up SI XSI software
(high end graphics). Boy was I in for a big disappointment! When turning on
textures and generally overall, the display is much, much slower! It gets to
the point of crawling!!! In fact my laptop with ATI 9600 is faster! This is
so fu**en terrible!!! Intead of improving the product, NVidia seems to be
going the other direction for the high end 3d market. Oh, perhaps that is so
that more people go and buy Quadros for $2000. This was definately the last
card with NVidia chip that I have bought.

Great! Then hopefully you won't be back here again posting complete shit
like this.

Goodbye and best of luck.

This was definately the last
Troll - the 6800GT is 4x af fast as any ti4200

 

This was definately the last

Good that leaves more for the people that want them.

 

LOL. You have obviously screwed up somewhere, yet you blame Nvidia?
Any idiot knows the 6800 GT smokes any Ti-series card.

 

This has got to be bullshit. You're sure your drivers are installed
correctly?

 

1. The 6800GT is IMMENSELY overpowered for viewport rendering, even in XSI.

2. You likely are using the WRONG drivers, or have enabled features
like Antialiasing and Anisotropic filtering that can greatly slow down
3d apps not specifically designed to use them.

In particular, there is a GL viewport extension that's reponsible for
dividing up the drawing buffer for the viewports. I know from
experience that, for example, enabling 4x AA can greatly slow down
redraw and scene transformations in 3dsMAX. It's even worse in simple
old Blender, any type of multisample antlialiasing results in either a
blank screen or "smear".

3. How are games? If they are not a great deal faster than before, you
may have an improperly configured system or one that cannot take
advantage of any high end graphics card (i.e. a 6800 on a P4 2.0, 256
RAMBUS system or something like a XP1700 w/ little RAM).

AND LASTLY...

Please ask for help first before spewing forth unsubstantiated bullshit
in the NG. We're not NVIDIA corporate relations.

 

In alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia, Luke Piasecki ordered an army of
hamsters to type:

I'd like to jump on the flaming bandwagon too, ur a comeplete idiot, but
lets break down what you are saying first. You must be a 10 year old get
ing annoyed so easily rather than looking into any probelems. Has it even
occured to you that YOU may have done something wrong?

What exactly do you mean by 'When turning on textures and generally
overall' ? Lets say you used whatever software on low qualities with the
driver quality settings down with the Ti, as expected it will run smoothly.
But on getting the 6800 changed every setting and quality available to max
and you are annoyed about the thing running badly. Can you just make sure
that at exactly the same quality settings the 6800 runs better. What
driver version are you using? The 6800s require the 6x.xx's. Have you got
drivers installed at all? Did you install any drivers at all after
installing the 6800?

Infact im suprised you managed to install the thing in the first place.
Does daddy let you hold the screwdriver? You cant spell 'fu**ing' either.

 

This has got to be bullshit. You're sure your drivers are installed

This is 111% human error.

 

There's another issue--there are darned few laptops with Radeon 9600s in
them and the most readily available one is an AMD-64. If he's comparing
one of those to his desktop and his desktop isn't running a comparable
processor then perhaps the video board is not the problem.

 

OMG, so I should remove my 6800 and go and find a 9600, where can I buy one
of these wondorous cards??

 

OMG, so I should remove my 6800 and go and find a 9600, >where can I buy one

On Ebay,there are a lot of disatisfied people selling theirs.

 

Actually I have a 9600SE in the kids PC it is okay for basic stuff and was
cheap. I had an MSI 9800Pro fail and when I took it back to the shop, they
had run out of them so I did a deal for a few dollars and got a Nvidia 6800
(Leadtek A400TDH), now that was really worthwhile. Looking at the tests on
Toms Hardware, the GT and the Ultra are up to double the price for only a
small improvement.

 

Listen you idiot. I'm not making this up! I posted it not to flame NVidia,
I've been using their cards for past 6 years. Don't tell me it's shit you
fucking moron if you don't know the answer to the problem.

 

you guys are absolutely useless. Do you really think that I made this up?
I've been using NVidia cards on high end 3d software for past 6 years.
Yes, I do now how to install the drivers.
I posted to see if anyone has experienced a similar problem and has a
solution.
It's funny how internet gives breed to sudenly brave geeks who get so
confident offending other from behind their computer monitors.
Anyone of you in London Ontario, so you can tell me your responses in person
?

 

2. You likely are using the WRONG drivers, or have enabled features

I'm using the latest from Nvidia site, AA and Anisotropic filtering are not
enabled.

Doom 3 is about 3 times as fast...

If they are not a great deal faster than before, you

 

Hey Kokoro, judging by your answer you are the one who must be 10 year old.
Hey, are you by any chance close to London Ontario? Perhaps you want to meet
in person and repeat what you just said?
Or does hiding behind computer monitor make a geek like you brave?
For your information, I have computer science degree, and yes, I do know
where to download latest drivers.
Again, if you're so brave, I hope you're located close to London, Ontario.
Perhaps you could hold that screwdriver for me.

 

No, they aren't. Your post didn't ask for help. Nowhere does it say "Is
there a problem with my configuration?" or "Does anyone have any idea why my
card is so slow?" No, you just ranted about how you think nVidia went
downhill.

Maybe if you'd actually posted in an intelligent fashion, rather than
bitching like a whiny 8 year old, people might have responded in kind.

Myself, I'll keep my 6800GT, which runs fine, which sped up every game I've
tried, and which crushed my old ti4600 in benchmarks I did, and any
timedemos.

 

Something must be wrong elsewhere. I've found that switching graphics cards
can sometimes lead to corrupted installs that are only solved with a ground
up OS installation -- perhaps you fell prey to this. I don't think there is
ANY situation where the 6800 would be slower than the 4200.

Anyone of you in London Ontario, so you can tell me your responses in

Then listen to everyone - the card is 4x faster than any ti4200 - eod.
