Same here, im not saying ATI is a bad choice its just i never owned one beforeIts a hard choice. I never had experience with ATi so i'm choosing Nvidia.
Its not ATI's DX11, NVidia will have affordable DX11 cards out soon, though far past due time, apparently.
Try this summer or later. The two cards nvidia currently has out are dx11 capable but obviously quite expensive and have been shown to do worse than even a 5770/4850 in some cases.
"some cases" I presume means price and power consumption ?
Meanin certain games. Some games the new gtx cards will do amazing and some they'll suck. The Radeon 5870 is nearly always first place. (benchmarks. actual gameplay may differ obviously)
Go with the 4890, the 5770 benchmarks lower than the 4870 and 4890.Try this summer or later. The two cards nvidia currently has out are dx11 capable but obviously quite expensive and have been shown to do worse than even a 5770/4850 in some cases. If I was to get a 400 series nvidia card I would wait till next year to see how things roll. If I had money to blow, heck, I'd go for the 480 right now just to mess with it. But, if you want a card right now, I suggest you take a look at the xfx 4890 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150438&cm_re=4890-_-14-150-438-_-Product and the xfx 5770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447&cm_re=5770-_-14-150-447-_-Product
Both look very impressive. The price gap is somewhat large imo though
First point....My "Some cases ?" quote was directed at the fact that you're telling the forum that the HD 5770 and 4850 (not even dx11 capable) have superior abilities. If you're talking power consumption then yes. Other than that your assertion makes little or no sense.
At this early point in dx11 enabled gpus, it doesn't really matter as the ones that are capable of it won't be able to handle it well when dx11 games are abundant.
Power consumption: haha all cases. nVidia's new cards suck so much power
My assertion to it is in actual gaming performance, not statistics.
:haha::haha::haha::haha:
You missed April 1st by a country mile.
Maybe your sig should read "Real men are divorced from reality" :evil:
Of course, in your reality, you've had access to gaming with a GTX470/480 for some time-unless you're basing "actual gaming performance" on yet another work of fiction.
It disheartens me to see that Techspot cannot attract a better quality of troll.
Yeah, I had to vote nVidia in the poll just on the strength of this zealot.
