Most people with half a brain know that nvidia are queer shitheads, but hey, most people don't have half a brain these days.

lol, well I say screw all you ATI guys, I was an ATI junkie for a long time. But can ATI beat dual 7800GT SLI? no they cannot, thank you

quakerjtf

Is the R520 available yet, no it isn't, thank you. I guarantee you that 2 of those things in crossfire will destroy any nvidia crap SLI.

you can't compare the same shit cabron. a 7800GT card is a generation ahead. its like me comparing 9700 pros (if crossfire worked on my card) to an x850xt. its like a chinese person and driving; no fucking hope....

<going to be an ass and be a grammar bastard>

uh... 7800GTs don't exist yet.

7800GTX exists though.


<ends being anal about grammar>

Meh, I have different reasons of hating Nvidia. It's not the cards. Look in sig.

G1. I have a feeling ATI and nvidia are both going to hold off on the 32 pipe cards because nothing out needs that kind of power. I still think it would good, SLI and crossfire would be obsolete.

It's true that there can be so much power to a point and won't make a difference without software that supports it. But this thread is not about that. It is about which company performs better and has more power. Nvidia is the king of that right now. SLI may be useless now yes but it will be something neccessary for further software development in the far future. So Nvidia is ahead of the game power and performance wise.

Lakevren

nforce boards
thousands upon thousands of crappy FX5200 sales due to dell/gateway/HP and so on...
thousands upon thousands of crappy FX5700 sales due to ^^^^^^^^^^
Craploads of Nvidia ads... Nvidia supported games... which run like crap on Nvidia cards or just don't plain work well. (Some exceptions)
Doesn't this remind you of a similar image of a certain company that starts with an I?

Is it? Or is it the one who has more money raking in?

Now I'm not saying ATI's not doing the same thing, but it's so far either much less aggressive or much less obvious/revealed.

And also... Let's not start there, thanks.

You're saying that based on the fact that nvidia has the best graphics card out, keyword out. We don't really know what other kind of crap they have developed in the labs. ATi's had the R520 up and running before E3, but they decided to release it later based on income. nvidia has way better marketing than ati, but that's 0% of what I look for in a good company.

I'm not talking about development, I'm talking about current market. Stop switching the point. In the current market (not development) Nvidia has more powerful cards and at least offers a combination of two. Make another thread if you want to talk about development. I'm comparing both companies latest and greatest. I will support ATI when they offer dual (like SLI) and when they release a card that is better than the best 7800

quakerjtf

Right now, nvidia has the best card out, but I wouldn't call them a better company over that, because the R520's release was delayed. ATI's crossfire will be more efficient and user friendly than nvidia's SLI, as shown in past tests. nvidia had dual card capability first, but I'm sure only because ATI felt it was excessive and too power consuming which it is.

SFOSOK

well most people you will meet on these forums like something that is excessive. Its mostly braggin rights I guess. I'm getting an x800XT or pro when I can sport the cash.

quakerjtf

I think having SLI really just shows you have money or nothing in your life to spend $400-600, same with expensive cpus like FX. It's more impressive to have a superclocked single card and $150 processor overclocked to $800+.
An X800 will be a good upgrade from the 5900. They're pretty cheap now too.

__________________

SFOSOK

yeah, just need the money thats all. SLI isn't for me now anyways. I will probably switch over to ATI in a month then Nvidia in like 2-3 years when I build a completely new system. Also would upgrading an AMD athlon XP 2600 to 3000 or 3200 be worth it?

The_Neon_Cowboy

Two r520's in crossfire (like SLI but works in all games unlike nvidia's
1/2 ass soultion) sure can you may be eating those words when ATI's rools out.

good catch

why would they do that? crosssfire and SLI mean "2X the sales $$$$"

plus if you take a 16 or 24 pipe card a marry it with another you effectively
have 32 or 48 pipes respectively....

THey might make some good cards and have thier strong points but as a whole they
come off as bad bad people maching us to a very bad place.

to me ? Nvidia is king of bullshit, unfair pratices, cheating in every possable way, tricks,
smoke and mirrors nothing more. So much bullshit no wonder nvidia's logo is green from all the available "fertilzer" .

If you could get your hands on one of the mobile 2500+, they are really good overclockers (not unusual to hit 2.5-2.6ghz) I'd say it could be worth sticking with socket A for awhile. Atleast it would be cheaper then upgrading the entire system.

Upgrading to an A64 would be worth it if you're getting a new card. For less than $150, you can get the venice 3000+ which is guaranted 2.4-2.8 ghz on air. When I went from XP 2800+ to A64 3200+ I immediately saw 200+ increase 3dmark05 stock. The venice 3000+ are basically free 3800+ on stock voltage if you can do some basic bios tweaking.

quakerjtf

You misinterpreted that, they probably won't release their 32 pipe cards because they're ahead of games and you can just sli/crossfire the new 24/20 pipe cards. The sli/crossfire solutions aren't exactly 100% effective, even though they're improving. I'd like to see more tests on crossfire once it's available.

man how come you guys are still talking about who will can't you guys read at all? I'm talking about right now. Nvidia is in the lead. So please stop refering to what is in development because I'm not tlaking about that. The only reason you site what is in development is because its the only way you can say ATI will be better. Just because they are in dev doesn't mean shit until it comes out. So please just site what is out currently. ATI cannot beat Nvida as of right now in this point of time. Please stop changing the subject guys. Everytime I say the same thing and then you guys just switch around and say: well ATI has R520's in dev (I don't give a flying crap till they are available for purchase) and they will have crossfire which will be way better (also don't give a shit until you can actually use it). And saying SLI is a half ass solution is just retarded. I'm guessing SLI was being thought of way b4 Crossfire so ATI r the ones who are coppying them. I know you guys are all ATI junkies, I think I will purschase an X800 myself but they are not in the lead of anythign till they actually come out wiht the shit. Obviously most of you only follow ATI, and if that is the case you cannot make a valued arguement without knowing the competitor. For all we know Nvidia could be in the works with somethign better than R520 (but I personaly don't give a shit until it actually comes out).


Jeez, I hope that is perfectly clear what my point this time. Damn I'm not gunna keep saying the same things over and over just because someone of your views are biased and you refuse to see what I'm saying.

SFOSOK

Also thanks for the info Asmoday

quakerjtf

ATI is not behind development of nvidia. The R520 has been up and running for quite some time. I've said this before, they are releasing it after the 7800 because of first/second quarter income. They want it to be more available than the X800 XT PE when it was launched. Just looking at what is out at this instant is narrow minded. Right now nvidia has the best card available, but it's better to look at cards in a time frame of a couple months. Companies will not always release their next product lines at the same time.
I try to stay up to date on both companies giving me a better scope of the market. I'd say the same thing if nvidia's cards were delayed a month or two. I'm sure nvidia has a 32 pipe card ready for launch if ATI decides to release one.
