Wheelman101 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 havent tried Nvidia yet so ATI OWNS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'd go nVidia. They're doing great lately. Can't wait to see how the 9800GTX2 turns out. Their budget and mid-range cards suck compared to ATi's performance/price ratio though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azn Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I've got ATI and it runs my games smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 ATI own at mid range value for money. Nvidia is the best for raw power. Jace is right about the 9800 GX2, that card is going to own. Plus, support for 4x SLi, meaning 7 graphics processors in your machine. (The other would presumably handle physics, but there could be 2, meaning 6 GPU's, which is still pwn) I had an old Radeon 9250. That thing was built like a motherfucking tak. Cost me less that 30 quid, and ran FEAR smoothly. Long shall it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmac Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Now i would have to go with Nvidia after my ATI card died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 C'mon. You can't be serious. The 8800 GT is obviously the best you can get price/performance wise at the moment. HD 3870 comes close though. But not close enough to rival the Ultra. And the 9800 GX2 is going to kick-ass. Though I would have prefered it using a full new powerfull chip instead of the same trick they did for the 7950 GX2. But there's hope. Maybe they'll be using a G100 (no idea how it will perform) instead of a G92 chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) You know ATI pwns NVidia anyday. It runs VC, GTA 3 and my other games fine. Edited February 23, 2008 by GTA Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 ... Ok. You do realise you can play GTA with an on-board GPU.. So which ATi card is owning nVidia at the moment? To my knowledge, none. ATi is better in the mid-range and low-end segment. nVidia is the best for high-end cards and of course, goes with a high-end price. Say again.

MrLlamaLlama Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 But.... Just how many of us could afford an 8800 ultra? It's not all about raw power (well, sometimes), but completely disregarding the huge price tag is just fanboyism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I don't really mind investing 600 USD on a GFX card actually. Same as a console. So then nVidia wins. And otherwise they still win with their 8800 GT if the price is taken into the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 But.... you can get a graphics card that will run the majority of the latest games on full settings anyway, without forking out huge amounts of cash. Value for money, an X1900XTX destroys an 8800 GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 It looks like you don't know what you're talking about (no offense there). X1900 XTX 3dMark 06 - 5148 8800 GT 3dMark 06 - 11569 Oh shit, that's more than double! X1900 XTX price (just quick google search) - $385.00 8800 GT - $266.92. Only card that can somewhat compete is the HD 3870 for $229.99. But then if I had the choice I'd spend that extra 37$. It's whorth it. As said, ATi only controls the mid range and budget cards. They're lagging behind nVidia when it comes to high-end cards ATM. So now tell me, how exactly is the X1900 XTX value for money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 i dont know Geforce 8800 Ultra (1024MB 800MHz/3100 rpm) need how much RM to purchase that nice thing solution for counting Malaysia currencies : US$ (stuff cost) x 4 = RM costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'll tell you again, a 8800 Ultra can't have one gig. It's has a 384 bit memory interface. No way you'll get your 1024 mb working on that. It has 768 mb VRAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 ok thanks now i need the 768MB (DDR3 800MHz/3100rpm) price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyde Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Nvidia I got a 8800 GT and i'm lovin it all the way, I can run Crysis smoothly on high settings. I will probably get another one later on in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 im using old PC because my papa use it for office reasons now i have lousy specs but he says that next month i will have it back with a cool NVidia 8800 Ultra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 As awesome as that is, maybe ask him to wait slightly longer. Within 2 months nVidia will release their 9800GX2. So then you'll either get a card that's about 35% more powerfull, or you'll go easy on your dads wallet cause the 8800 Ultra will have dropped in price. Also, graphiccards don't have anything with 'rpm'. It runs shaders, GPU and memory at clocks. I'm not sure of the exact figure though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
