so why buy the 6xx series ? (august '12)

Oh please! Get over yourself. I'm not going to do the easy work for you. You know the truth, whether you choose to except it is YOUR problem. It's really funny that nobody else has brought up the question. I wonder why that is? Bottom line, I understand that you feel the need to think that you are important, but you clearly have NO idea about anything you are talking about. Prove me wrong, I DARE you! And I'm not talking about one or two lame ass links. Show me real, substantial proof to discredit anything I've said. Good luck with that.

 

When you are the one claiming sensational BS such as "nearly any developer will tell you that they have had a much better experience working with Nvidia compared to AMD." then the onus is on you to back up yourself cause I am not you're mom.

 

What the hell is with this thread?
The Alias has posted the exact same text and thread at Anandtech.
Are you some AMD marketing rep.?
This is how AMD is promoting their products, by registering on tech sites and preaching the advantages of their products in NVidia part of the forum?

 

Keep drinking the Kool Aid.

 

So you say drink coolaid after you claim "nearly any developer will tell you that they have had a much better experience working with Nvidia compared to AMD." how about some LINKS PLEASE. Which developers you say nearly any ok LINK PLEASE.

 

no I wish I had a tech job I'm just asking question

 

why buy nvidias xxx card over amds xxx card?

..simple...

fully functional OpenGL... amd's opengl implentation is many years behind

 

OP is doing his marketing on the other site right now, expect him back here in a few. viral marketing is a tough job

 

At least he could have changed his name. Wonder why AMD has such bad marketing...

 

The driver team is also the marketing team...

 

I'm not an amd rep and like I said before why can't I ask the same question to multiple communities ?

 

lmao, there was one viral marketer pedalling BD cpu`s. He had the same screen name for like 15 websites including here.:wanker:

 

Actually the way I read the OP was he admitted that Nvidia was more power efficient and that they trade blows with one another in raw performance. I think his main point is why would you suggest Nvidia over AMD with the new pricing. My answer is easy though AMD's drivers are getting better they are still not on par with Nvidia.

 

Notice how you are the ONLY one that is trying so hard to make a case? I wonder why that is? Sorry dude, you lose no matter how you try to dress it up. I don't need to provide any links. As I said before, there is PLENTY of proof out there, just do a simple search about it. The Physx subject alone is enough to show how uniformed you are so why should anyone consider your opinion? To be honest, I'm finished trying to discuss anything with you because you obviously refuse to listen with any common sense. As far as I'm concerned, you can continue to live in your little, clueless bubble and continue to spread mis-information. I won't bother responding to your drivel anymore.

this drives the point home even further as a medium grade oc on a 7950 trounces a max oc'd 660ti and 670 (memory oc was weak though)

 

I'm looking to buy a card in around two weeks, hadn't it been for borderlands 2 PhysX i would have probably went 7970 lightning, a classic imo.
Arma 3 has physX too, sweet candy for us graphics hos'.

 

Dude seriously, why are you trying so hard to make it look like AMD is superior? If you think it's true then why all the talk? Just get an AMD card. Seems pretty simple to me. Nothing you post is going to change the opinions of those who prefer Nvidia. It just seems like you are trying very hard to piss people off. Honestly, from your first post it was obvious that you either wanted to start a flame war or that you had already made up your mind to go with AMD.

 

besides sli and physX (which imo is a very small factor) I just don't see the reason to buy nvidia

 

Then don't. If AMD offers what you want, then what's the issue?

 

people who don't even use those things look up to nvidia as so superior when in reality they are not amd offers more perf per dollar a beter oc'ing experience and yet people still revel in power metrics that don't really have an impact on their daily lives and harp on noise and temp levels when there are a myriad of non ref coolers to choose from that don't even cost more money !
