Do you think i'm stupid

[marc1024]

im considering jumping from 460 1gb to 580. i think im stupid for this because some say 2 460s are better.

 

[Phoenixdancer]

i shall reply to the thread title

yes

Personally would wait to see what AMD have to offer. Plus you never know there maybe a good deal of the day on for the 580 in the mean time which may just be too good to pass buy.

yea i done that with my haf-x got it on week 1 for £150 or £160 on overclockers then 2 weeks later it was on a 1 day special offer it was at £130 i think with a free mouse. rwwwwwww. so i dont want that again

What games are you playing at what res?

I think most people other than absolute Nvidia fanbois would say wait. A lot will depend on AMD launch of 69**, and Nvidias supply of these new chips. If AMD have a strong launch to come and Nvidia have good supply prices can only come down. If either of them isn't true i wouldnt expect to see any significant change in prices for a bit.

I have not looked at 5770 crossfire scaling but from what people say they were the best scaling 5 series card. I am not sure and can't be bothered to look and see if they are on par with the gtx4 series. Perhaps you could show us how bad they scale since you are the one saying how bad amd scale in crossfire.

So you want to argue with him but have no facts and can not be bothered to find the facts. See to me that makes you as bad but from an ATI point of view.

I must say i thought that the 5 series(ATI) did not scale as well as the 4(Nv) series cards. Also that AMD had done something to address this in the 6 series which in turn had brought it to the SLI levels of scaling ?

And back to the original topic. I would wait and see AMD's offering before spending a nice chunk of cash

 

[Cleeecooo]

i'd wait for ATI. I'm guessing the 6970 will be around £400 maybe 350 to compete with the 580

 

[Mr Krugga]

nothing stupid about wanting the "fastest DX11 GPU in the world"

crossfire scales poorly, so getting a single fastest graphics card will get your minimum framerates up, remove the ATi microstutter problem, and you can also enjoy the new Nvidia driver improvements.

Have a new sig, dear sir:

Have a new sig, sir:

ROFL

Back on topic now.

Personally I wouldn't bother upgrading just yet as ATI will be releasing there new cards hopefully sometime before the end of this month, imo I don't think the 580 is worthy of that asking price considering this is what fermi should have been last year and not much of an improvement over the 480 (especially when overclocked) in terms of performance.

Plus I am pretty sure (although could be wrong) that the 6970 will be just a bit better than the 580 (as ATI aren't going to release the cards later and slower than nvidia) when will released but be priced a bit lower around £320-350 IMO, which for me is the reason why ATI will always be my first choice.

Ok first review on google 5770 crossfire review read the conclusion i rest my case. He assumed the 5770 scaled bad in crossfire. The 5870 has around an average of 71% scaling in games which is not as good as sli but its hardly bad either.

Thats funny LOL (what Paul11 did to sig)

Yup

quote

"ATI Radeon HD 5870 CrossFireX - CrossFireX performance was lagging behind SLI quite a bit. GeForce GTX 460 SLI was beating HD 5870 CFX in this game. AMD needs to work on CrossFireX scaling in this game."

"ATI Radeon HD 5870 CrossFireX - CrossFireX was broken. Only seemed to be receiving the performance of one HD 5870 in this game.

GeForce GTX 480/460 SLI - SLI performance seemed to be working, but cannot compare SLI scaling to CrossFireX since CrossFireX is not working."

so be gone fanboi

 

[Mr Krugga]

for wanting to upgrade now (as in right now) from my 5770 crossfire

Yes stulid, be gone.

"So, while CrossFireX boosts the average frame rate to the level of top-end graphics cards, the bottom frame rate remains rather low. And it is the bottom speed that determines the level of playing comfort."

more crossfire scaling poorly with 5770, terrible minimum framerates!!!!!!!

Low minimum framerates ≠ poor crossfire scaling. !!!!oneoneone1111!!!stulidisatroll

all facts dear boy, you got anything to post? no didnt think so...
