Quality vs. Quantity: ATI Radeon X1950 XTX against Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2

recently we have found out that graphics cards by two major graphics chip developers produce different image quality in games under default settings, meaning that some boards are faster and the other can produce better image quality.

We found out that ATI’s solutions indeed delivered texture filtering of a higher quality but you could only see that in motion. It’s hard, if not altogether impossible, to spot the difference by comparing static images.

To sum up, we have to conclude the following:

Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2 is faster than the Radeon X1950 XTX in the majority of cases;
ATI Radeon X1950 XTX costs $449, whereas the GeForce 7950 GX2 is priced at $599 - $649;
ATI Radeon X1950 XTX produces higher image quality under our settings due to high-quality anisotropic filtering;
Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2 could produce higher quality antialiasing modes than the Radeon X1950 XTX, but they are hardly useful for modern games;
ATI Radeon X1950 XTX theoretically can enable FSAA with FP16 HDR, which is an advantage, however, it does not have the feature supported flawlessly at the moment and it may not provide sufficient performance;
ATI Radeon X1950 XTX, unlike the GeForce 7950 GX2, works with every mainboard provided that the power supply is capable of feeding the board with 120W of power.
