Which is the better card?

kookooshortman55 · 07-20-2008, 07:54 PM

Oh sorry, for some reason I thought the 4870 was $400. Haha. But I still have the same question. The 8800GT is half the price and has a faster texture fill rate,http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards....=544&card2=549 so which one is better. Again the 8800 is overclocked to 700/2000

Oh sorry for some reason I thought the 4870 was $400. Nevermind haha. But still, the 8800GT is half the price and has a better texture fill rate and still a high pixel fill rate according to http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards....=544&card2=549 so is it worth the extra $150 to get the 4870? The 8800 is still better in some aspects. And the only advantage to the 3870x2 is the 1GB I suppose.

Oops sorry for double posting. Didn't see there was a page 2. =P

You so far triple posted.

Anyways, go with the 4870. It's alot faster than the 8800.

OUt of those listed go with the ASUS 3870X2 as it has more features and better cooling. But the 4870X2's will be out and will be far faster. I suggest waiting it out.

Okay I guess this resolves my issue. My card is okay for now, I'll wait for a while until I can get a drastic performance increase with a new card. Cards are getting better and cheaper every month. =/
