Thread: We will be faster than ATI, claims Nvidia

I'm thinking Nvidia cards may be 10% faster than Ati's 5800 series but when you put 2x 5870's in Crossfire, with Ati's great scaling, I would say it would be cheaper to buy 2 ati cards instead of just 1 nvidia card considering nvidia's price points are...

I can't afford to upgrade anything for the next 6 months really, so whoever buys one or two, im in envy

another thing...i know the new ati 5 series is freaking amazing and its a good idea to wait a few months to buy one...but is anyone else dying yto have one hehe

It's about pricing, ATI came in and undercut Nvidia with the 4800 series and i think they weren't as expensive to make as the GTX200 series.

Though there's still the yield issue and Nvidia's production costs are much higher than ATI's. Also ATI is stacking chips in the X2 so you can use 6 GPUs in crossfire.

Lets just wait and see...

lol that's if they can price the cards just right say like $250 now that's the sweet spot right there.

Well i hope they make something better, progress is always good!

like this is news? ATI has been focusing on value and efficiency over raw power. nvidias have been just about speed and power. its similar to the old ghz war when intel kept pushing speeds and amd went for a 64bit efficient processor and then added a core.

It is best to wait and see what comes out. Hopefully both new DX 11 series will be great.
