Nvidia or ATI

AMDCam · 05-06-2005, 06:35 AM

I don't want to complain, but it's kind of funny how everything I say I get accused of being wrong, yet these guys with their "SLI is the only way to beat the X850" (just like I said) and "Nvidia's MX series of cards....lost respect for the company" (just like I said) are agreed with and very politely contradicted, but I'm barraged with bar graphs and sarcasm when I say it. Funny, funny......

By the way, whoever said ATI doesn't release budget cards, have you not seen the 9550's, 9250's, 9600's, or X300's? That's just right now, in the past they've had plenty too, and I've never seen one card where they leave out giving you a good directx version (like the MX series, of course) for their price.

The 850 only competes with SLI in CPU bound games (ie HL2) because SLI needs addional CPU time.

unfortunately theres no graph of all ATI GPUs, if you have one, please post it and circle all the budget cards in red or something

Hey,
I rekon Nvidea is betta, never used ATI

Ive tried both and I really just feel that youll get what you pay for, simple as that. Although Im thinking Sli cards are nividias strong point.(lol, but who has enought money for sli...?) I know I cant afford it right now.

Anobody here know which cards are easier and better to overclock

I believe they are both as good as each other. I would recommend buying only from these two companies.

Yeah...luckily the only way you can get something else is with onboard or the occasional store that carries matrox and/or SGI cards (and actually has some in stock)

Ati's crossfire has owned Nvidia and they still havent had time to perfect the drivers.
Before i voted Nvidia but if I could change, now I'd say that Ati is the best.

Benchmarks so far show Crossfire as superior i thought. I think one guy on another forum has a ATi Express 200 (or whatever its called) mobo with Crossfire support he's testing out.

Gotta love how retarded ATi's long term strategic planning is .... they make the X800 series ... scrap it ... make a better series ... and then resurrect the X800 series
