The test here is to look at the white rail through the window - it should be perfectly white without any interruptions. ATI fails the test but NVIDIA passes it.

And both contenders do particularly bad in it.
While it would seem that both ATI and NVIDIA do rather similarly in the next test below, Rachel's shirt is a great de-interlacing benchmark. The shirt should only have horizontal lines, but on ATI's GPU there are vertical artifacts caused by de-interlacing. Chalk up another win for NVIDIA.

This is pretty interesting and since I already bought the Nvidia DVD Decoder I can upgrade to this new version if the link on Nvidia's site ever starts working lol.jonny13 - Monday, December 20, 2004 - link
"Considering that PureVideo came as a free feature on GeForce 6 cards"How is paying $20 for the damn codec free?
