In a perfect world this might work but you seem to forget the pack of fuctards most forums have running around who are hung up on crysis....it would be some game "xxx" and crysis every fucking month....honest! Nvida lost thier ass this round but nayway I propose [H] start a honorary "Nvidia...

I don't see how folding can even be brought up.....it has no fucking impact on the main objective of a highend gpu.....which is drawing images on the screen for gamming wtf?.....and a sometimes 10% performance advantage.....from 20-100fps it equals 20/+2fps and 100/+10fps gains which do not...

Wow you are so transparently a fanboy it is more then obvious, thread jacking is stupid btw, the guy asked an legitimate question and he didn't state anything that was per say false either way...and the best you can do is harass him.....I have a suggestion if you don't agree keep it to your self...

Very bad for all of us imo, stagnation is to ensue, I expect minor refresh from AMD if that cause really they don't need to improve that much to best NV....and prices will most likely not drop now from AMD, why would they when it wouldn't make any sense.

Better question to ask is if we like the fact gaming consoles are dictating limitations in terms of thier proprietary hardware and that hardware's limitations over to our hardware, i.e. a console can't run aa in a particular game, the pc port doesn't get the option to run aa either even though...

I' am not complaining but why not just run both cards at the same resolution both without any AA, gives a better picture on the actual performance difference between the 2 cards....enabling AA on the 5870 really cripples it compared to the 5850 not using any....like I said not complain just a...

I suggest you go eat a big pile of steaming.............! you like how that works?

uMMM Yeah I did not feel like reading 400+ posts....maybe you have the luxury of having that much time but I do not.

Wow, got a real kick out of reading that "cease and desist" by D&H, hey we all know they can do a fucking thing, freedom of speech and the fact there is concrete evidence to back up fact rather then what they claim to be allegations, they would be laughed out of any claims court for pulling a...

There better be price wars, both ati and nv got nailed for price fixing awhile back.

Still your not going to get a clear answer because refreshes are going to be coming out soon, probably price dropd on whats out now, and then we have yet to see wtf Fermi is going to turn out to be a dud or a stud, you just have to research what you think you need/want and can afford and dive in...

Hey you have audophiles and you have videophiles.....people who demand cutting edge, then you have people witha more reasonable expectations...I' am inbetween the 2 somewhere...when I used to do clan meet fps...been a long time ago though...og rainbow six and ghostrecon matches I always bought...

Meh gpuz does that, IDK why, if you set it to log though it will track your clocks, and you can go back and look at the log and see that once you start a game the card kicks out of 2d desktop and should' bump up to 3d and the load the game demands. Also on the number preceding for example "GPU...

You need to grab atleast a demo of Stalker COP as soon as you get a dx11 card, you have the options of enabling dx9/dx10 or dx11, at I would say setting the graphics between high and ultra high with dx11 I really think you will be surpised in the overall difference of fps you will get...

In relative terms these are what I was considering as older games "Dead Space, Left 4 Dead and Bioshock", go ahead and try out Stalker COP or Dirt 2, or even GTA. With titles predating DX11 implimentation like teslation sure the a 5870 is overkill for a 22" monitor, but for newer DX11 titles...

Not trying to pestimistic here, BUT.....older games maxed out at that resolution sure no problem, but try a newer DX11 game with say an oced 5870 and an 920 runing at 4ghz and it is going to be choppy, I bought into the suggestions given here that a 5870 was overkill for 1680x1050 and it could...

All these card are refference base, I don't really think it makes much of a difference on vendor other then warranty coveraged and bios seriously and maybe color of pcb, I haven't seen what could be consider a vendor propriertary difference acrosss the board, same hsf, ram , core ...etc...

Blind loyalty is highly over rated.....it is why we have a clown for a president now instead of the chimp he replaced.

Nothing but fluff, and Games for Windows needs to die already....the stupidiest proprietary BS ever, read about people who can not log into it who happen to live in the wrong region, country etc.....great way to isolate, alienate and discreminate against people Microsoft, Dirt is a perfect...

You do know the card (5870) provides HD audio via HDMI and has audio drivers included in the full version CAT driver package, I had problems with this on my X-FI card, kept switching my speaker configuration back and forth til I went in and manuall unistalled the AMD/ATI hi-def audio drivers.

Depends on the resolution, 1680x1050 IDK, but if youre thinking about maxing it out at higher resolutions you are going to be disappointed, all eye candy, all DX11 enabled your going to be bouncing from 8-50 fps, x-ray engine though dated has DX11 features, the game still looks awesome with...

Had mine since the first week of the launch in september, was a saphire, the bios limited the overclocking so I flashed the bios to asus allowing me to higher settings, put a water block on it, idle is about 28 deg. and load is 35-38 deg. (OCED) and the vrm about 45 deg. under load. As far...

Opposed to the generalized statement that you do sound like you know what you are talking about....okay then? Forgive me for not having the same indepth knowledge of what is "AI' that the actual developers have, to the best of my knowledge and according to past experience even though it isn't...

No, I just look at pictures Seriously the blocks are bad? non conductive paste on the core and ram, non conductive thermal pads on the voltage regulator module interface...a grounding issue possibly....or contact lack there of...they should refund your money DD makes full contact blocks.

When I recently started using ATI I looked up a comphrensive guide for driver setups for CAT since I really wasn't familar with them, it's been awhile but I do recall that I was told to leave this off, every time I have left it enable and killed my FPS, I do not how this effects multi gpu setups...

I forget to check it every time I update Cat drivers, and I damnwell sure people moving from Nvidia to ATI in mass will have no clue....... this setting to the best of my knowledge does absolutley nothing positive and can sap your frame rate to half of what it would be if it was...

lol if you can afford 2 5970s' then you can afford to watercool them....omg wtf

Depends on your hand size too, I' ve used a 518 for the past 5 years, never had a problem with it, though I did buy a Sidewinder HKA-00001, the older one with all metal wheel and buttons, it suites a larger hand with a longer surface over the body, the wheel's action is awesome. Overall though...

It has been seven months, ATI has already made thier money because they entered uncontended into the DX11 market, and now they can afford to under cut, face it Nvidia screwed the pooch on this release....I do hope for the best though, competition is a good thing for inovation and the buyers market.

yeah it will show different values between having clock set to stock and overclocked, one you have gpu @ 734/680 and another @ 650/650 this effects the values....common sense?

Meh he said GTS8800 320mb and by the way it was a dog, a 7800gtx is close if not better in performance....your thinking GT or GTX of the 8xxx series but whatever IDC!

Lol, I swear some of people are such drama queens getting all pissy about details as if this shit really even matters.

Lol no it will not, I don't know how long you have been an enthusiast but as an example hardware when it becomes EOL status or discontinued increases in cost....had to buy some old ddr for a relative who refuses to buy a new system, $50 per 256mb dimm, I could bring up countless such...

QFT

Totally agree, and there is only one good game using this feature BFD, btw physics can be ran on this particular game using hacked drivers with an ATi main card and Nv secondary. Honestly I personally feel like I 'am being forced fed half ass games even the 'aaa titles are effected by...

Lol scrub.....do what a lot of people do, find a guild or a group of people to latch onto like a leech to basically give you gear.....you know for nothing more then filling a slot and showing up...I know we have always had people we geared for no other purpose then to be a spot filler...even...

Is the camel toe accurate depiction also I' am wondering lmao?

The term "FANBOY" or 'FANBOIS' are around for a reason, there are a good number of these brainless ones you speak of running around.

I only hope the fermi doesn't "change gaming as we know it" like thier 5xxx series did, I already own 2 leaf blowers I really don't need a third. Propaganda pulled out of some advertisement spews butt is so....ghey!? I have never had brand loyalty, I do favor Nvidia's drivers though it just so...
