Maxishine ATi vs nVidia Showdown (VIDEO) - Overclock.net

kilrbe3 · 07-05-08

Maxishine has a new video out, showing the 9800GTX, 9800GX2, 4870, and GTX280 all in a side by side comparison, with Crysis. Showing the FPS in all (4) cards.. Take a look for yourself,

Now.. Discuss.!

My eyes i see this:

The 9800GX2 FTW.. I'm sorry, but that 4870, did not live up to its hype at all.. The 9800GTX is a bust, we all know. The 9800GX2, and GTX 280 still had a higher FPS at all the times in the video, over the ATi 4870. For 300$ sure, you get a OK card.. But nVidia has ALWAYS had a higher price on their cards, because they last long and there dam good. nVidia in my eyes, one this race again. Maybe not in cheapness of the card, but in FPS they won.

um.......you cant really make that statement over one single game....crysis........

lets see like atleast 3 games ....but the GTX280 , is a disapointment i think

Very limited, plus the quality is very poor, had he played the benchmarks four times that would have been more meaningful because the different gameplay shows us nothing really...

As for the 9800GX2 inning well you could cross fire the 4870 for the same price and i think that would thrash the 9800GX2, maybe we should wait for the release of the 4870 X2... Now that will be interesting

I feel ya, seems like everyone goes off of "crysis" but there is other games out there ya know

But Crysis is like 3Dmark06, its a high-demanding game.. So i can see why people chose it.

After seeing this video too, the GTX280 seems like a big downfall to me.. Why release the 9800's then the GTX280 not even a month later...???? garbage.

Crysis is the bomb, since when did people go rushing out to buy new hardware just for a computer game

Crysis was and is something completely new in the gaming world and people should remember what EA have contributed, nearly all future games will benefit from Crysis

"For $300 you get an ok card"
ROFLMAO
Crysis isn't a standard for comparison......you really need an aggregate comparison because everyone knows that Crysis is a TWIMTPB title.
