It's not worth the cost differential vs performance. Quite frankly, the 5870 is close to it in every benchmark but for a few frames in a couple...
In a word? Yes. The 480 is a major disappointment...period. A few more months won't kill you and ATI's 6000 series will probably destroy Nvidia's...
Lol, well-said my friend, well-said.
Tis your choice my friend. I'm sure as hell aren't going to waste a penny on this 5800 reprise.
It's your money bro. Waste it on a first-gen pile of horse dung. If you would wait a few months, with your 280 you can afford to do so, I...
Well-said. I wouldn't spend a penny on the 480's. They simply aren't worth it.
What we're trying to tell you is this: don't spend your money on a first-gen card that is proving itself to be the Nvidia equivalent of the 5800....
Sorry my friend. I disagree. These cards only present a minuscule increase in performance for a huge price in power requirements vs the 5870. The...
I concur. That is one of the true failings of ATI cards. But, there is always a give and take when it comes to such a discussion. As you stated, I...
And your parents are where???
Glad to see that some people can put aside brand-loyalty to acknowledge reality. :) Unfortunately, people like you and I seem to be in the minority.
True enough. However, I think, and I may be very wrong, that Nvidia for once has fallen behind the curve. If ATI comes out with a new architecture...
And God forbid that you don't have a case with great ventilation. Imagine one or two of those cards in a situation where internal H20 cooling is...
Great analogy. I've owned cards from both companies for over 10 years, alternating actually, and the Fermi seems to be a huge bust. Darnit, I...
I don't know bro. I watched those videos from hardocp and it sounds like a a jet engine taking off. Quite frankly, it's worse than my old X1900XTX...
You're a very smart man. I should change my profile however. I just got divorced, which sucks on sooooo many levels. She went from beating Dragon...
Couldn't tell you bro. I don't own a console. Every spare dollar I have goes into my PC. Even though I have a huge 1080p TV. When you're a fogie...
Actually, I believe it was based off of ATI's 1800 or 1900 series. I had a X1900XTX and loved it. Great card.
Yeah, no sh*t. I love Borderlands but the texture quality sucks butt. Not to mention BF2BC, Fallout 3, COD MW2, etc..
Console tech was revolutionary back in the day. However, that day was over 5 years ago. The GPU aspect of current consoles is woefully obsolete....
