Last week Valve Software released the Counter-Strike Source Engine Beta that will be the base for Half Life 2 for example. Check out the preliminary numbers the following sites got out of different hardware.

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 dissapointment if your a Geforce 6800 Ultra user.
