Hi All
I have an Nvidia 5900XT and have noticed that my frame rate is low compared to my friends ATI 9800 pro on the Video stress test there was a 50fps differtence mine was barely 30 fps my friends was 80+fps, yet our systems are pretty similar.
I was going to write this post anyways looking for answers but today at work I found out why.

It seems the 5900XT and DX9 do not work well with HL2, I have to play in DX8.1 to get the best out if it. In some cases the difference in Frame Rate is as much as 60% difference when in DX8.1. t0 DX9
I am so pissed off with Nvidia, I thought I shold share this info so no-one else buys a 5900XT card thinking they are getting a top card. What are Nvidia playing at?
Whinge over
