Featured Replies

Hey. I have enough for 2 of any card, probably 3, but I'm not going overkill. I want a card that can play all games Very high + 2x AA + 2x AF on 1680x1050.

 

 

 

4830 - $250

 

4850 - $300

 

4870 - $375

 

4870 1GB - $420

 

4890 1GB - $550

 

 

 

GTX260+ Black - $550

 

GTX275 - $550

 

GTX280 - $650

 

 

 

What would you get? Thinking of 4870 1GB vs GTX280 ATM. Maybe GTX285 since $50 more.

 

 

 

Rest will be Q6600. Thanks

Personally I think the 4870 1GB is a very solid card for the price.

4870 1gb. Easy as hell to overclock aswell.

 

You need to know DX11 comes in the end of the year (probably), DX10 cards will be able to play in DX11 mode - but with some features turned off. Just so you know.

 

Weird price on 260 and 275.

Yeah, I sold my whole PC since I thought my 8800GTS 320MB (Horrible G80) wasn't DX11 compatiable :(

 

GF Internet facts :S

 

Atleast I made $300 + now are more knowledgeable :')

 

 

 

Anyway is 1GB necessary for 1440x900-1680x1050?

Any DX10 card isn't fully DX11 compatible, but as i said above...

 

No, but you do still earn a few more fps with 4870 1gb compared to 512. Up to you if it's worth it or not.

Go with Nvidia, they make very good drivers. Ati have stronger cards, yeah, but the drivers suck so much that you lose a lot of performance. Also the reason why I'm never going Ati again.

Every week someone has to bash ATI or AMD...

 

 

 

When was your latest experience with ATI?...

Today. I have an Ati card in one computer and a Nvidia card in the other.

 

 

 

I do like AMD processors though. Such as the Athlon dual cores and the Phenom 2s.

He speaks the truth. ATi cards have RAW power, but Nvidia has Extremely good drivers.

 

But all in all, about the same. + Nvidia is a [cabbage] load more expensive.

 

 

 

So ATM GTX260 Black vs 4870HD 1GB vs 4850HD 512MB (Just a temp card)
