Null vote. Too hard to tell this soon.

you're a funny man.

If you're looking for best price/performance - go with ATi 4800 series.

If you absolutely need the best GPU available in the market right now - go with nVidia's gtx280 if you're willing to shell out 2x the price of a 4870 (which certainly doesn't justify the minor performance increases).

Again @haffey.  Tho my point was considering they have done the ''hard'' work with a 512bit pipe, I would of thought implimenting GDDR5 wouldnt be THAT much of a difficulty.  With that said though, I suppose ATi cracked 512bit (ish) with the 2900.

Though I think at the moment ATi is cleaning up.  I wonder how companies like alienware, dell, HP etc will go.  As it's the big OEM's that determine how succesful a card is not us lot.

That's true, a card with that 512 bit bus and GDDR5 memory =

How old are you Bell?

On Topic: I would easily pick up an ATi 4870 atm.

Old enough to be your dad, HA!  Dont think of it as a Bell > Gooners, more of a Tech team > Wiki team

On a similar note, what is the name of the X48 board that can run 3 GPU's (eventhough one is only 4x)?

Martyn

The P5E64 WS Evolution runs 4: although two are x16 and the other two are x4.

Wow, never seen this mobo before, only P5E WS pro. Naice!

Right now, if I had the money (and I assume you do from your previous rigs), I'd go with a GTX 280.

Thats a very good idea.




























Not.

Me either, it was a TweakTown review that pointed it out to me: http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1475/

I'm no fan, had a geforce then 2 ATIs, 2Geforce's and now I will be going with ATI again. I buy what has best performance/price ratio and atm that is ATIs new HD4xxx series. Thats why I voted ATI. Hope fans won't vote for something just cause they are fans of a GFX card company...

Is it clear enough for you?

Hence why I edited my post. Thought I was quoting haffey.

You're not funny, nor will you ever be. Please, for the children. Stop trying.

The 4870 is just behind the GTX280 in terms of performance, so why spend moar when you can spend less?  Charmin Ultra, less is moar.

4870X2 dual card Crossfire > GTX 280 SLI

Yeah, I'm such a fanboy, having had an ATi card up until Summer '07.

Haffey, you're THE most obvious fanboy in the tech forums. It's almost completely obvious. Always bashing Nvidia cards as of recent. I'm a neutral party, I like both but would like to go for the GTX280. If he's got the money, why shouldn't he? So please, stop calling others fanboys.

But others say I am. You have no sense for humor.

I meant a comment referring to people with heads screwed on properly as fanboys.  Not that you were a fanboy commenting.

Either way, my comment stands. As I just said on Xfire, I want the best card possible, and I'm sure Slayer does too. Whether it be an Nvidia card or a ATi card no matter the price. Right now, the GTX280 IS that card. If the 4870x2 when it comes out is that card that's the best, then he should get that! But it's not even out!

Yeah, and it's unfortunate that other's can't see past that sucking up/kissing up mask you put on. Shame.
