Fans yelled at me once, because i am AMD/Nvidia(CPU/GPU). xD

I dunno why they would yell lol.

I'm an Nvidia user but I don't really root for them as much and more recently I find myself rooting for AMD because Nvidia are slacking and making bad decisions on their part. The more AMD improves their side the more it means for me to just buy an AMD card next time over an Nvidia one unless Nvidia really make things worthwhile for me in terms of perf/visual gains.

If only they(AMD) can do work hard on driver, the GPU is absolutely no problem at all, unless the driver.

I still have radeon 5870 in my PC 2009 rig. That card was so good!

To be fair Nvidia needs to do the same in some cases =P, their latest driver completely screwed up my mate's SLI setup and profile for most of his games, including Battlefront which meant a complete rollback and even then he had to do some sorting out which could have been avoided if Nvidia actually worked more on SLI support/drivers.





Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

That's the problem! I refused to buy another GTX 980 for SLI. I mean, wow! 3dfx Voodoo2 SLI was great without any profile for games. xD

Ahhh 3dfx...

Yeah I was thinking of getting another 980 for SLI enxt year but after the enws about the 144Hz issue with Nvidia cards and the forced GFE to obtain future driver updates and not much SLI driver support let alone for games and how much GW has screwed with plenty of games is just driving me towards possibly making this my last Nvidia card and making a move to the Red Team by the end of next year if not the eyar after (got my 980 back in Sept).

LOL which ones.  Yeah Nvidia usually wins when they launch a card, but give em a year and AMD starts crushing everything.

-7970 = Titan or 780

-290X > 780 Ti, 980

-soon Fury X beats Titan X

Most people keep their cards more than a year.

980 still slightly beats the 290X in the majority of the latest AAA titles as far as I know and the Fury X hardly trades blows with the Titan X, much less the 980 Ti ...

 

So let's say the 980 still does slightly beat a 2 year old card that now costs a third the price of the 980.  Is that something to celebrate?



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

Hmm, it still has higher performance and can overclock better so yeah I guess it's something to celebrate if your a user ...

The 290X has no problem overlclocking 20%.  Sure an overlclocked 980 will beat it, but for tripple the price that is pathetic.  In a year it will likely me massively weaker with DX12 too.

Many of those DX12 games will have DX11 backends FYI ... 

Who cares if it's gonna be weaker with tomorrows games when we buy new video cards for TODAYS gaming performance ...

.... again it proves that we still have yet to see a middleground AA option that does a good job and doesn't end up crippling your frames.

I think we already have one (SMAA T2x), it's just that you need 60fps for ghosting on slow moving objects not to be noticable.

Oh yeah I almost forgot SMAAx2, the thing is we'd need more games supporting that over say FXAA which seems to be the go to choice for most games on PC.
