The Guru3D review is also good. Its pitted against GTX295! The Goliath of GPU's and thumps it hands down.

ATI is the king --- for now.


Thanks for this review.

[ssk_the_gr8]

so we've got a new king.. lets see whats nvidia's reply

[Anubis]

Like they say

Better late than sorry

Nvidia is going to pund ATi to the ground with GT300

P.S. - I m not Nvidia fanboy nor ATI fanboy

Its going to be the case of Intel core i5 with phenom II AMD

They won't know wat hit them

[NVIDIAGeek]

NVIDIA forever!

Let us see what nVidia does, then we can make the war cries.

Hail..............! ATI................!

[NVIDIAGeek]

^Yeah! What's the "Oh, I see now!" difference between D10 and DX11?

[abhijit_reddevil]

Thanks for the information. Hopefully now we can see some prices drop in the graphics card market.

GT300/ fermi is delayed till Q1 2010 so it looks like ati will get all the christmas business.

nvidia is going to lose a lot of business.. and theres no guarantees that fermi will be better.. lets wait for the reviews..

POWER CONSUMPTION CHARTS here = http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/EAH5970/29.html

The delay is because TSMC has got a very poor yield (<40%) of the 40nm (or is it 32nm?) wafers. Almost all of the yield is going to ATi, which is not enough to meet the demand. Though nVidia is out of the Christmas game, ATi still has its finger crossed because it could have a better sales if the yields are better, so that they could fill the store shelves. Wish Global Foundries begin frying their 40nm wafers (or 32nm) soon .

I have lost interest in such battles... Both Ati & Nvidia are good & both of them always come out with exceptional products & then we have another KING thread.

Yea well said...some topics I give a clear leeway here:

1. ATI vs nVidia (be it cards or drivers)
2. Intel vs AMD
3. Crysis optimized for nVidia
4. Quad vs i5

Best to show the potential buyer all side, and they can choose.

agreed....

what hppened to to ur HD4870 SOnic???? It's not there in the sggy too..

[The Sorcerer]

^^ Sold it. Lost interest in gaming for now and the 4870's price was falling down really fast in those times so I kept my losses to a minimum. Most probably will get one in april~june '10 if there are any worthy titles and if I have the time.

[comp@ddict]

^^aah...

so r u a software engineer by profession?

[The Sorcerer]

^^ Nope- not even close.

[hell_storm2006]

HD5970 opens up at newegg with a $600 price tag. That's massive! Cant even dream of getting it from US!

[asingh]

You are getting two 5870s in that right. And one is 25K at the moment...!
