ati radeon 4870x2 issue

Gamer5353 · Jul 23, 2009, 06:49 PM

Okay so after my second card I got sent is yet again defective, I don't feel like sending in over and over. ATI is rather disappointing for quality it seems sometimes.

I am wondering if anyone knows of any Nvidia cards that are equal to (in power) the above ATI card, but keeping within the same price range as the ATI card is.

theres the 295gtx its faster but more money or you could always get 2 260 gtx for the same or even cheaper i dont know how much the 4780x2 is going for now.. or you can all ways get 2 4870 instead of going for x2 card..btw welcome to DH!!!!

Thanks for the welcome.

Well, in all honesty I "could" just resend my card for a new one and just get it replaced again. The reason I want to switch is to Nvidia based products, as I hear they are much better quality. My card was defective VRAM when I bought it, then sent it in and got one that was acting funky and causing weird spikes to jut out all over. I'm just tired of sending it in all the time.

I will look into the card you suggested. As well, anyone else have any comments they wish to provide for suggestions?
