AMD Takes Discrete Graphics Market Lead from NVIDIA

http://www.dailytech.com/AMD+Takes+Discrete+Graphics+Market+Lead+from+NVIDIA/article19216.htm

Now there is a reason this has happened. Its simply cause the HD 5000 can take more over clocking, has more performance for the dollar, uses less electricity, runs cooler and well its just an all round better generation of cards than the GTX 400

I really would reconsider buying GTX 480 at this point. Even if you find a way to cool it good enough, the same GPU from AMD would simply take more OC and deliver more performance.

Again I recommend a single HD 5970 or 2 in crossfire over 3 GTX 480 anyday.

New drivers coming will also improve cross fire performance similar to the GTX 400 series.

If you want that brute power there is no questioning AMD has the crown in video cards right now.

And later down the year when AMD releases southern Islands HD 6970 and HD 6870 you will get even better performance. Nvidia won't release their GTX 500 series till next year.

[M_2NR]

I will never buy an ATI GPU anytime soon unless i see proper drivers release to make use of their hardware. I only trust ATI with video processing.

I not saying nvidia is a walk in the park with this, they just do a better job for the average consumer.

i alrdy bought the gtx 480

and ur wrong, specifically the gtx 480 OCs like a mofo on steroids... read up some of the speeds guys getting around the world.. then com bak and say the ati ocing better...

all other factors can b true.

most reviews read ( which i have done alot lately ) points the 480 as the fastest, most powerful "single" gpu to date. ati offers good raw ower yes, but!
nvidia had technology all around it. lets not get started on CUDA technology...wow

i almost ordered the 5870 wen i realized dat is was the 1gb verson for 380-400US, then i checked reviews and it got a significant amount of FPS lower than it;s 2gb big brother, so i opted a search and found the 5870 2gb is around the same damn price as the gtx 480.. so thats exactly wat i did, got the best single gpu based card to date..


took me over 1 week to read and decide, so far..no regrets..cuz i have used both 5000 series and 400.... 400 is a clear winner in quality..

i eh care bout heat issue and electricity...... heat isnt a problem. and i dont game 24/7 . my laptop is for regular use...

I am biased towards nvidia since they do not have any sort of driver issues, and have good linux support. What is the sense having a big engine and no management? People seem to forget is only recently that ATI started producing cooler running chip!

[xaira]

srsly, i does watch it this way,

Nvidia has the better performance and enthusiast package

CUDA
BADABOOM
NVIDIA CONTROL PANNEL
ESA
FREQUENTLY UPDATED STABLE DRIVERS
3x GTX480 will beat dual 5970

But to me ati has the win this rongse just because they have better hardware, if nvidia can make their hardware better there would be no competition



ati needs better software and nvid needs better hardware, but nvid has put more things in place to make the overall xperience easier for users, but i still not payin t&tec all dat so its ati 4 me this rongse

take a laugh

[Chiney]

point!

but i think due to nvidia's all round technology, their cards stand where they are only cuz of that..

i cud be wrong...

i cud be wrong...

i think your right...lol

[Chiney]

wen i say that
i mean the pros and cons
pros: all the technology and actually having the best overall image quality

cons: power requirements...heat..etc.



as for power supplies.. i finally order my baby.. have a look:

[M_2NR]

nice!

Oh.. btw.. the 1GB 460GTX idles around 28C-33C, 35C when the a/c off.

Under mad load max i tried getting it was 65C without a/c.

Which brand/model you have? Was considering getting a pair to run dual sli but then i saw the GTX 465 selling for abt the same price and is 3 way sli compatible (have three 3 way sli system boards nah ).

[Chiney]

nice temps there...!!!

[xaira]

beautiful psu,

which 460 is that?
i feel dais d MSI with the fancy cooler, dat ting does b chilly
