Source Benchmark

This should be a good read for those of you who are big Counter Strike fans and are looking to play the new CS: Source. Nvidia should be releasing some better drivers for better support pretty soon, when the game actually comes out.

“Shocked is one word that comes to mind looking at these results. Where Nvidia has beaten ATI by a reasonable margin in Doom3 the results completely reverse and then some on the Source engine, a 30% performance difference ( 74fps to 52fps ) is, to be honest, a massive disappointment if your a Geforce 6800 Ultra user. We had fully expected to have a very close contest when running the benchmarks however that has not proven to be the case, hopefully Nvidia have a new driver in the works that will bump up performance enough to make things competitive.”
