Crossfire beats SLi in Doom3!!!

i still say people argue for their own cards only b/c even if it's not the latest and greates they still wanna justify in their heads they didn't waste their money.

my nvidia/ati ti4200/9200 pwnz j00r 6800/x800 cause it's nvidia/ati!

I've been a hardcore nvidia since the TNT1...I don't argue for them because I own their card...I own their cards and I argue for them because I like them...

Why do I like them? you might ask...mostly because I've seen them dominate the 3D industry for a really long time...and because they're heavily preferred by developers/researchers and Linux users...which I am surrounded by since I am computer science major...

So at least in my case it runs a little deeper than just "I bought nvidia so I hate ATi"...

Also note that Hate_Bot is running an MX440...an nvidia card...

P.S. Hate_Bot, if you're reading this, here's something for you to think about: time to upgrade

mmhmm

Is this starting to make sense FanATIc? Do you see why when people ask about "dual-core GPUs" it doesn't really make sense because they effectively already are dual core? This is also a reason people are finding ways to do other kinds of computation on GPU hardware, because of this massively parallel nature.

Quite funny coming from someone who had no idea what the difference was between 1T and 2T memory settings 3 days ago.

brent mentions something that takes 4 words and now every little kid has to say it in every thread. We all know what they mean when they say "Dual Core". Just dont turn a small informative peice of information into some snob fest. Thats it, is that too hard to do?Wait its the internet, its impossible, you'll always have some empty headed person screwing up a normal conversation trying to upstage everyone else. I dont feel like seeing 5 threads a week asking what that person ment by that in here, thats all. I like my flames and garbage right at the top. Not rehashed questions.

As far as my comment that was blown out of praportion let me help you. Many uninformed people call those stages pipes, heres a google search that took me all of 2 seconds. If you have never seen this incorrect reference in a CPU forum you are a noob.

http://www.google.com/search?q=AMD has less pipes&lr=&sa=N&tab=fw

Keeping things simple for people to understand, even if you think they sound or seem more complex is not always true.

Now a nice "G70 will be released June 21 see!" post was just made im gonna move there.

We weren't saying that other people don't make the mistake. Although I've personally never seen anyone refer to pipeline stages in that manner, neither have I seen any hardware review or guide refer to them as such. Your google results aren't very convincing IMO - a few uninformed people making the same mistake you did does not really support your case. One of the results was actually an [H] thread where the correct terminology was being used.

I never said that I didn't know...I just refused to respond to your post...I'm well aware of the intricacies of memory timings and their effects on performance...basically, the fact that you would assume that I didn't know something so basic led me to believe that you were impressed with yourself for knowing what it is...and since it's a really basic concept...that makes you not too bright...

Dude, ramble all you want...the fact is, you have no idea what a pipeline is...you just outed yourself...you have no idea what you're talking about and you've lost all credibility...lashing out at me won't help anything...

You DIRECTLY compared GPU PIPELINES with STAGES in a CPU which are completely different things...you weren't trying to explain it to anyone in a simple way so they could understand...you just simply didn't understand the difference...

Now admit you were wrong, take it like a man...and go read up on CPU design...
 
I agree with Empty FanATIc, when you make a mistake admit it.
No one is going to kill you over it.

Seriously. Everyone makes mistakes. Just don't be a jackass about it.

I have 5 ATi cards sitting on my desk.

So you can admit you're wrong.
 
I will admit for him since he is insisting on acting like a five year old.
I FanATIc admit that my statement about CPU Pipelines was just me babling and that I am sorry if I confused anyone in anyway.

lol

I ^eMpTy^ accept your admission and forgive you for thinking I don't know what a memory timing is.

(And just like that, I'm 2[H]4U)

you didnt know what a memory timing was. Your responce to my accusation that you didnt was a joke. You started talking about people who dont have problems with overclocking. 1T and 2T does not stop you from overclocking.

Please let this garbage thread die.

Then thats your down fall...

If you can't admit your wrong then all credibilty is lost. No one trusts a damn word you say.

i have been reading this WHOLE thread and when you said Pipelines on a GPU and CPU are the same. i fell on the floor laughing...Sorry. But you just shot your own foot.

Now i will admit i don't know everything about CPU's and GPU's

But i understand it. I call it learning...the more i learn the more i know. And i thank you Empty for a better insight on staging pipes :D

Now anyways...you ati fanb0y's get to jumping up and down over a margin of error 2-3fps differnce.

Also get better benchies and use STOCK benchies...not some custom pos...that site was a joke..

[/endrant]

actually...suddenly I think I did misunderstand you back then...I thought you were bitching about not being able to overclock and maintain your memory timings...and I was just trying to point out that it didn't really make that big of a difference...

P.S. You have been sigged.

Until R520, Crossfire is pointless IMHO...but let's be honest...I wouldn't buy an ATi card if it came with a free bj and a porsche...

I am too. It probably should be. I looked and theres not much discussion about video cards on the last two pages.

Die thread die.
 
yeah - I stopped reading this thread yesterday... early... I saw this happening then... just thought I would take a peep at it today because, I too was amazed it wasn't locked by now. lol... Honestly, why is everyone in such a huff about who knows what? I thought the idea here was to share information? hmmm.... remember sharing? It seems like these things always spiral into a battle for who knows more than the other person... very competitive... but in all reality, we're kind of all on the same team here... we all are here because we want learn or share information/ideas. Anyways....
