Poor old 5870 is showing its age I think, was getting like 15-30 FPS in the benches 3D Mark threw at my card.

Hey spirit, I'm powning your pc :P (only by a bit)

Edit; I see cpu power saving is on, it's at 4.8ghz btw. The gpu @stock.
My other hd6870 is in my brothers pc...
 
You are only winning because you have HT. Your graphics score is lower, your physics score is much better. Though I have to say I did not expect scores that high with AMD graphics at all.
 
yes. Because Nvidia are the kings of physics. I assumed that AMD would end you in needing to use the CPU and you would not get too far with that, even with a 3930K or the like.

Nope, your gtx480 scores only a bit more like I can see here:

Btw, 2X my card gives 7430P graphics.
 
Are you a retard?

The score you quoted is at stock with 4GB RAM. But as long as you are quoting, go ahead and show that 2 6870 is only marginally better than a 480 and double the price.
 
The hd7870 scores 6781. No discussion though, amd and nvidia has different qualities. They are almost the same in total performance.
 
keep telling yourself that. I will never use one, for the simple fact of I am not going to spend hundreds to have a graphic card tell me what operating system I can use. Till AMD gets their ass in gear and sorts their linux drivers, they are trash and not worth $10.

The ones from the new series are much better then the previous ones. Amd gives also much better performance for their price, like; gtx660ti ($310) <-> hd7870 ($220) while they're pretty much the same in performance.
 
50% better than garbage is still bad. They may be better, but not worth the price, especially seeing as they are still limiting what you do besides games. But for most people, that is all they can wrap their small brains around. So whatever. Like AMD if you want. I am always going to use Nvidia because I do not have to worry about my OS at all. The XP driver for the GTX480 works fine in windows 2000. I can not say the same thing about CCC 12.4. It would not even install in 2k. And don't get me started on the issues inside Linux.

So what's the problem when I got a windows 7? Right, nothing...
Even the drivers from my card are fairly good atm.
I will never give nvidia an advantage in my eyes.

Yeah I'm pretty sure with Radeons, PhysX has to be done on the CPU.

As for the whole "AMD vs NVIDIA" argument, it's really quite old now. I just go for whatever, I don't care so long as it didn't cost me a bundle and it does what I want.
 
Assume you want to do something that depends on physics, say a engineering simulation, or even a scientific (chemical or Physics either one) simulation, your AMD card will do absolutely nothing to help you. There is a lot they can not do.

And if you are fine on a microshaft OS and a card that gets along with it most of the time, then good for you. When you want to come into the actual computing world and open your eyes to the amazing things a computer can do, then good luck with that AMD card. Really.

Yep, my AMD will do good right :P

Yes I know NVIDIA cards are better for that kind of thing, but I don't do any of that. If I did, I'd get right of the 5870 and get an NVIDIA card.

I'll be on Windows for a long time yet.

Must admit though, when I was waiting to get my 5870 I was a bit worried about the drivers. I know AMD's drivers used to be crap. Got the card and installed the drivers, wasn't impressed at all with the installation procedure, but the drivers work and are stable. Not had any crashes yet. In fact, I was having more issues with NVIDIA's drivers when I had a 450. For some reason, the 285.62 drivers hated my GTS 450, I always used to get crashes no matter what I did, yet the same drivers worked on other machines. Not had the same issues with any other NVIDIA drivers since (and I still have machine with NVIDIA cards).
 
Soooo if im hearing right what wolf is saying is to understand what a computer can do we need to run *nix? Sorry but F*ck that. I like things that that work out of the box :) and believe it or not developer tools are better on windows cus *gasp* people pay for the software! my god what a concept.
