one of the guys posted this link in the tech form

 

its a great side by side card specs site really easy to use ... :aok

I don't buy that... not entirely... I know the 5700 isn't the best card, but stats-wise it has better .. well.. everything! .. than the x300, save for one thing -- the x300 has 2 vertex pipelines. And the x300 gets over 2x the 3dmark rating? I don't buy that... I can understand 1.5 maybe.. tops.. but 2x?

Then again, 3dmark isn't perfect, either.

EDIT: OMG! I love the drop down boxes and picking any two cards! SWEET site! possible sticky post!

It is probably the 3dmark05 focusing on newer DX9 pixel shaders holding the 5700 back. The fx5xxx series had some issues with modern tech.  I am sure if the test was 3dmark2001SE, the 5700 would smoke the x300 :) NVidia obviously learned from their mistakes, since the 6600GT/6800GT were dominant in their price classes for quite some time before ATi fielded the X800XL at $300, which drove down the prices for every card that was $400 or less. It is funny how the tables turn, now the ATi cards are the ones behind in the pixel shader department, so the X800XL has a lower 3dMark05 score even though the stats show it should be marginally faster than a 6800GT.

Personally, I am very happy with the X800XL performance. In the games I play I am getting what I wanted: 1600x1200x32 at FSAAx4, AFx16 almost locked at 85 fps by vsync :)

Over the past several years I have been maintaining a spreadsheet for quick comparisons. It neglects the vertex shaders, but the simple performance formula I came up with to balance gpu speed vs. memory bandwidth seems to work most of the time, at least for a basic ranking of DX7/DX8 performance. There are obviously notable exceptions such as the XGI V8 Duo which looks good on paper ;)
