What Do You want from the Next Generation?

The vast majority of us play at 1080p/1200p or somewhere around there. At that res, 1GB is more than fine. By the time we'll need so much more VRAM, we'll need more powerful GPU's aswell.

You can repeat this point as many times as you want, as I have already done time and time again, but the troll still wont get it.

Laughing out loud so hes wrong to suggest that, but your right to say spend the money just so you don't get these tiny lag spikes that you will probably never notice anyway.....yeah OK

Yea, like its far worse recommending the actual proven current best price / performance setup of two overclocked GTX 560s, rather than telling everyone that they need to spend £900 on two 3 Gb GTX 580s in order to play games at maximum settings at 1920x1200 resolution.

Which of those games requires the ridiculous amounts of VRAM you tell everyone to shell out on?

I havnt recommended to anyone else to buy exactly what I have. Since when does buying something that I want mean that I am recommending it to everyone else? Recommendations depend on a persons budget. If their budget is £400, then yes I recommend nothing other than a pair of GTX 560tis in SLI.

But for £400, a pair of 6950 2GB would destroy your recommendation in terms of number of lag spikes encountered in high AA under 1200p. For example,

this thread went well of topic. Will you two please open another thread and saturate that with all the hogwash, I was on here for the ideas for what people want on next gen cards, not two people babbling on about Alevel maths and 24GB ramdisks.

Ignoring your BS graphs, the 6950 does not overclock anywhere near as reliably or as well as the GTX 560. It never has, it has been a lousy clocker since the day it released, and far far worse than ATI's previous range.

Two GTX 560s @ 1 Ghz DECIMATE a pair of 6950s, and a single GTX 580 for the same cost, plus they cost less. Metro isnt the only game out there that people play.

So you just ignore the fact that your 1GHz 560 1GB SLI got pwn'ed by my stock 6950 2GB CF in Metro?

People have no problem overclocking 6950s to 900MHz and some can manage 1GHz. I don't see where your claim of 6950s unable to oc comes from. When OC'ed, they even beat 580 SLI in Shogun 2.

thankyou cleecoo :)

what would be awesome, would be quad CF 5970 speeds in a single gpu, at a pricepoint of 200£, with dual 6 pin connectors.
 
I know it would be very nice, but I think a lot on here are being too optimistic about pricing for the next gen.

A poster on the first page said he wanted a top end card for £150.

Zilch chance! You'll still be looking at £350-400 for top cards and 580 performance for £200. People said a while back that when 460's hit £150 that will do them because they are enough. These people now probably own 580's.

Marketing and advertising gets everybody in the long run.

I'd actually like the opposite!
I want 590 performance fro a single GPU and one that uses dual 8 pin. I don't give a **** about power management! I WANT POWER!!!!!

Indeed. I hold my hand up :)

PS. Though I think you also may be being optimistic with the top next gen cards being "only" £350-400. I'll place a bet on more like £450+

PPS. No point in dying a rich man, that's what I say.
