Check the "benchmarks" section, you can get the Nvidia to score around 2800. But the ATI scores in the 3100's. Currently more of your favorite DX9 games will run better according to sources in the know.

The flip side is that Microsoft is addressing this with DX 91. due out in March, which may be a long time to wait.

As mentioned in DOZENS of other threads, it's a situation of opportunity cost:

If you want performance choose ATI but you will lose out on stability. Vice versa; If you want stability chose NVIDIA but you will lose out on performance. It's all a matter of which is more important to you.

Yeah, I was the one who got the 3100 score but I overclocked a little. The average score with the ati is 2800-2900.

Thats still better than my overclocked Nvidia at 2817. Even if 3DMark is a bod tool for benchmarking it still shows the difference in the DX9 speed for the ATI.
