the ATI cards seem to come up on top every time... coincidence?
I really don't care about a benchmark. I've worked with ATI products and IMO they suck. End of story. It's my opinion and I don't care for any product they have ever made that I have used.
I am allowed that as you are allowed to praise and jerkoff over ATI if one so chooses.
Edit: I dunno if you read it, but I'll state it again. I don't do much gaming. So I don't look for FPS and FSAA and texture maps... I look at real world windows performance. I rarely play a 3d game. I'm almost always on a webpage or email or our help desk software etc, in dual monitors, work and home. 3d benchmarks are pretty useless to me. I'm looking for 2d quality and performance.
P.S. Not like it really matters... but the Matrox Millennium was the first video card to have any hardware 3d acceleration. Not anything impressive by far, but still the first... it started a trend.
