Half-Life 2 & Doom 3

[Wiccan]

In the development boards the programers stated that they tried the cards so that they know which was stable to run the game nivida and ati was both leading on stabilty testings since both cards have the extra muscle to pull the graphic heavy game along..

dee most game manufacturers will now test game graphic cards to see what works and what wont... this is called research& development, doom 3 and hl2 want to make sure the product works for the consumer...but the programers liked{albiet they liked how it looked on nivid they did not say if it improved the play aspect.... just that game looked scary to them the shadowing,lighting and whatnot} you can have the most powerful graphic card and still have a card that cannot handle something in the program..

I am currently running Nivida fx5200 128 bit card and the games i been playing look nice and handle nice , but i cant wait to give the card a run on doom 3, i've had problems with the ATI series{ yes they are alot cheaper then other high expensive cards i seen on the market}
