6970's are going for 200ish these days if you keep your eye out for them.

 

[wolfeking]

you can get a 570 for $235 right now. Might be worth it over the 6970.

 

[87dtna]

Yeah of course it would be better, I just figured i'd get outvoted if I said that since most people on this forum prefer amd cards....so I just said 6970. It also matters what resolution you are running. 1080p or less the 570 is a beast for but over that the 6970 has a slight edge.

 

[wolfeking]

I would definately go for Nvidia over AMD. If I could go back and do it again, I would get a GTX260 or GTS450 over the 4870 again.

 

[87dtna]

I prefer Nvidia as well, and I've owned and test over 50 video cards of both in the last 2 years.

OK I'm having a blond moment and I can't figure out how to post my score. I did a print screen, saved it in paint but every time I attach it in a new post the picture comes out to small to read. Does anyone care to enlighten me?

 

[87dtna]

You have to use an image hosting site like photobucket

Does cpu overclock help much on graphic performance?
because I had 70 fps in battlefield, and now I overclocked 85fps!? :O

 

[JLuchinski]

Here's mine, I don't know how to make it bigger then this.

guys, got problem... If I'm doing single card, it gives this:

It may be a power save feature of the card. Like my NVS135m will go down to practically no clock at all just using Opera or the desktop, but if I fire up a game or freeCAD then it will soot up to the max.
Try bringing up GPUz and see what it says your clock rates are.

But 3dmark benchmark is graphically heavy...

 

[wolfeking]

I am pretty sure it is not under 100% load when it detects your hardware

 

[Virssagòn]

Can you send me your whole result page, then I got an example whats right.

 

[wolfeking]

I can not do a result page. All my cards are DX10 and below.

 

[Virssagòn]

K

 

[Virssagòn]

hmm, this is weird, cpuz can't detect the speeds I think...

 

[wolfeking]

try GPUz.
on my CPUz it is showing a core speed, its not accurate in powersave mode, but it is there none the less.

 

[Virssagòn]

you got any idea how to disable that power saving mode?

 

[Virssagòn]

hmm, look to this...
it shows the right speeds first, but at real speed it shows that one...
