COMMENT - "I think it's safe to say that the OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro offers the best Tribes Vengeance performance, using medium quality settings the OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro beats the MSI GeForce 5900 XT by 9%. Increasing the image quality settings to high quality increases the OCUK ATI Radeon 9700's lead over the MSI GeForce 5900 XT to 17%. The OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro is about to show it's superior performance when we switch to ultra high quality and the OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro now delivers a HUGE 42% performance advantage over the MSI GeForce 5900 XT. The Ultra High Quality setting uses DX9 which is why the OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro has such a huge advantage over the MSI GeForce 5900 XT which has poor DX9 performance."
