Ok, serious question here:
First up, props to TS for this review, I was already leaning towards dual 5870's for my next build due to their lower temps and better bang for buck, the ONLY thing which may sway me is the supposed better performance of the Nvidia's when it comes to computing. (ie, rendering in Adobe Premier)
So, my question: How big is the gap between the Nvidia's and the ATI's when using the GPGPU functionality? Should I be willing to tolerate the heat, noise (including running the case fans faster), power consumption and purchase higher purchase price for the sake of the raw number crunching power?
Anyone able to offer an insight?
