New PC tech.

Thats what i said to lith but he seems pretty cock shure about the ATI card

go Ati. These fuckers have never gone Ati and there giving opinions. To what they think is better by stats.

I have use both ATI and Nvidia cards and to be honest ATI looks better on this generation, sure the Fermi architecture looks impressive but its power hungry, heats up like a fat bastard watching food adverts and noisier that a cat on heat.
Even if they have 3D vision tech you still need a extra card to make use of it, compare to the ATI equivalent eyefility which can run three monitors though one card.
Price is also a factor, for the price of a GTX480 you could buy two 5870 and put them into crossfire configuration.
Not a fanboy, i don't hold loyalty to either company i just look for the product that gives me performance for value.

lol charlie i went ati b4 nvidia, both cards were bought cause they are dirt cheap in comparison, but both fucked up within 6 months (professional install)...

so nvidia ftw

480 is over 50% of the price yet only about 20% more performance than 5870. Not to mention the heat and power and noice (although they dont matter that much to me). But the power-cost ratio the 5870 wins hands down (in australia, in america its a different story. But Australia is full of cunts who like to rip us off.

yea see you all look at this as power to cost ratio, yea righto thats fair enough, money is the major contributor to this fact, like Dodge viper GTS to bathurst addition HSV, you get wat you pay for..... cheap performance holding GENERAL steady quality.....

you say its only 20% better 5870, but guess wat, that means my card will be 20% better then yours at 100 cores less, 512 will come and reek havok, and then we will be back to this point that has been going on for ages.... "nvidia is expensive but better performance and ati is unreliable and cheap"

nvidiaFTW

boots out

who are you quoting

K can we stop talking about NVDIA vs ATI , and post some shyt coz this was not created to see who was the smartest in FTW.

"nvidia is expensive but better performance and ati is unreliable and cheap"

my ati cards are both reliable and fucking expensive ($1932), they have spent 19 months overclocked, been overvolted, bios flashed and disassembled multiple times. they idle at 90 degrees, topping load at 90-105 degrees, using the same if not more power than the gtx 480 in both idle and load

my cards are far from perfect, they are in fact flawed, but there is nothing unreliable about the ati brand compared to the nvidia brand, i doubt reliablity differs much between the two

ATI 5870 $600 P 17186 3.49
GTX 480 $910 P 19801 4.59

Crossfire $1200 P 26657 5.07
SLI $1820 P 39602 4.59


K to shut every 1 up i have done a bit, the ratio at the end is the PRICE vs PREFORMANCE so in the long run nvidia would be Better in MULTI GPu systems. based on 3dmark vantage.

xternal you pc is in a metal casing thicker then karmas head to shield it from your rage, and those cards are insane, wat are they, video editing cards obviosly cause no card from both lines for gamers has been that expensive from my memory??? (tell me if im wrong i want to look into it)

lol that quote is from me, ive had 2 ati cards, both fucked up, 4 nvidia all worked MUCH better then expected, everyone has there opinions on cards from either past experiences or majority, for me i was just unlucky, and that tarnished my faith in there reliability,

simple as that, ati good card, nvidia good card, me like nvidia better... fuk power to cost. i karate chop that shit for breakfast

nah they are 4870x2s and that was nzd on release, 1932 was the combined cost for 2

oh lol ok, i thought that was each.

Poor Illicit, this post was pretty good and lasted quite a while providing new techie stuff, but now it has turned into a pissing competition.
Maybe you can just request to have the crap posts deleted ?

LOL i knw what u mean oohh wel its a new page, so lets get it off to a good start shall we.

well yous guys are way off topic if you ask me!!

pisss piss piss

this quote is mine as well

"bob eats man balls"

i'll prob still go for the 5970 tho....i don't mind spending ~$1000 on the card

Ok lith, u cant read or something coz what we been talking about in the last few pages, is that a single ATI cards pwns, but when u use them in Crossfire x then they suck balls and then Nvidia pwns in SLI, so if you gonna go for just 1 ATI card good choice, if u gonna go for 2 card or more Nvidia would be the better choice understand

no illicit i can read and i did read it all...

I have spoke to Napster, and other people outside of the clan, and they have all said to go for the 5970 over the 480

its myth till more reviews come out wen released, then i will compare the cards

Well its all up 2 you i would rather go for the 480 GTX. If u gonna go for just 1 ATI card good, if not ooh well u fuck up not me.

i dare you to talk English you homo

LOL Illicit.
