right, so we can only compare a yet-to-be-released card, to cards that have been out for months now. precisely my point. but anyway enough of this fanboyish sounding conversation I am actually not a nv "fanboy" (altho it may sound like it) I have used ati cards in the past, I just currently prefer nv, and I tend to jump in whan I see people talking smack (or perceived smack) Im not without faults.

on a lighter note I got new underwear I got sick of tighty-whiteys so I bought a couple pairs of C-IN2 low rise jammers to try. pretty comfy I must say, but at 15$ a pop I dont think im gonna replace all the hanes whiteys right now

just thought i'd share

Who cares how many cores it takes to get it done? As long as their product is as fast or better, they have won. Plain and simple.



Thanks for the underwear moment... I needed that

And who cares what video card "wins"?

Only someone looking for e-peen.

The bottom line is, all the current top-end cards will play all current games at great settings and with eye candy. It's up to each person to choose what they want to put in their computer that they build and own with their money that they earn.

You don't have to agree with that choice, but to harp on about "better" and "winning" when what we're talking about is a few FPS is just plain silly.

Great job on the build, BTW, CR! I followed along all the way and I don't think I gave you a final congrats!

Unless I am mistaken: An HD 4870 1 GB beats a GTX 280 whereas the GTX 280 beats an HD 4870 512 MB. That does beat the "core for core," but not the "clock for clock" as the ATi is about 148 MHz faster on the core speed. Oh well. In my experience, the video on ATi, even if at a lower framerate, tends to look nicer. They also do not play games with their customers. (I am a victim of the nForce3 + Vista + Dual core bug; nVidia is STILL jerking us around with that.)

That said...

Emailed the Mad Reader Mod division of CPU Magazine and entered the Intelligence.

If we get in... A nice cash prize is involved!
