Just like how anyone is supposed to take this site seriously when they spell charts as chartz LOL. ;P (hahaha) /joke line (Don't ban me please. =/)

Thanks BTW.

That's the one major problem I have with this website: It feels like a police state.  People get banned WAYYYYYYYY too easily...

Yeah, especially just from this week LOL. This site is in more dissarray rather than order if y'know what I mean.

I've been Nvidia on my own machines though I'm looking to replace my GTX 470 and not sure what I'd like to do yet.

Probably between the R9 280x and if I can find a cheaper used GTX 680 or if Nvidia lowers the price of the GTX 770's to match the 280x.

Honestly you would be silly to consider a 770 for anything as  expensive as a 280X.  The 280X is just as strong and has 50% more VRAM (And this is actually used).  In fact, they both use about the same amount of power too.  So IMO, the 770 should cost less!

You want an Nvidia card to cost less than its AMD counterpart?

In what world do you live?



Please excuse my bad English.

Former gaming PC: i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Current gaming PC: R5-7600, 32GB RAM 6000MT/s (CL30) and a RX 9060XT 16GB

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

Do I want a card that performs the same as its "Counterpart" in every fashion, except that it has less RAM and less overclocking headroom; to cost less?!   

 

Yes, it should!  I live in the sane world.  But unfortunately the real world is crazy...

Nvidia already moved further than just drivers while AMD pretty much just caught up on the driver stability part though, they have better 3D support(like, 3D glasses and stuff,) better multi-card profile support and customization, general profile setup that might fit your machine with the click of a button assuming the game is supported(or at least using it as a reference for tweaking settings,) Nvidia Shield streaming, PhysX, better support for their CUDA SDK compared to AMD's more open source approach(even though I like the open source practice more, the support is well....) I mean, my household runs more AMD GPUs than Nvidia and I can still see it clear as day just who has the superior software engineering. That's just how it is. Mantle is an interesting retro approach and any long time PC gamer would know what I mean by that, but there is a reason we moved away from shit like that in the first place so we'll see where it goes in the future.

I actually prefer AMD's 3D support, granted nVidia's implemenation means it also has manufacturers that are siding with them.
But give it time, the nVidia-only panels will work with AMD's 3D eventually.

I do love the lightboost tech that nVidia introduced that some panels support, it's literally the closest thing we can get to CRT-like quality, when you use it without 3D.
It just sucks all those monitors are crappy 1080P, Twisted Nematic panels, otherwise I would be on it like flies to poop.

All I want at the moment is for frame latency to be fixed and AMD to start being more aggressive on Crossfire profile game support and I'm happy.
And... For the R9 290X to have been released last year. :P I'm tired of waiting.

As for Mantle, we might as well leave any reservations of history repeating itself at the door, Mantle is in a completely different situation than the API's of old like GLIDE, for starters the Xbox One and Playstation 4 are probably already using it and because it's going to be Open Source, nVidia can use it too, so it already has control/support of a large fraction of the gaming market, if nVidia supports it, then it can only mean good things for the PC gaming master race.

Yes, I always have liked AMD's open source style so I'm all for that, but I'm not sure where it will actually go from this point on, I'm not seeing it really taking off personally.

Also, I do have Tridef 3D, it's uh, not quiet there yet. =_=;;;; Nvidia just has better software engineering, it's not like it's news.

AMD, but I don't really understand about these things. I just say AMD because that is what my laptop has... I think... Also nVidia sounds like "envidia" which is"envy" in  english xD.
