The 3870X2 is 15% slower than 9800GX2,but the 9800GX2 costs more(3870X2 = £150 ,9800GX2 = £217)
Is it worth paying roughly an extra 40% on a 9800GX2 for an extra 15% gain in performance over a 3870X2?Hell no!!
You can even buy a 4870 for £175,still alot cheaper than a 9800GX2 or GTX260/280
And its only 11% slower than the 9800GX2 and 13% slower than the big bad GTX280(costs £250 btw),isnt it glaringly obvious who is giving better value for money when it comes to graphics cards these days?
is that the ATI OEM model or something? i never saw that one before....lol...i try to get the version everyone has hence it works better i hear the his version is crap and so is gcube. i think Sapphire, visiontek, and asus make the best ones...have fun with it...and its people like you that make me glad i open the box in 5 seconds and throw it in the computer =D i cant deal with opening it up that slow
YOU SUCK, MAKING ME JEALOUS :( lol nice. I'm gonna wait for newer ATI cards so they beat the 9800x2 from nvidia. Also ATI uses newer versions of DirectX, unlike overpriced old nvidia.
If you are talking about HTPCs then ATI might be a good option, however I think both of us play games and in that department ATI is not as fast as nVidia atm - in all of the ranges...
What is this beautiful song ? :)

nvidia is good for gaming, ati is just better along with vista and movies, espcially when its DirectX 10.1
LoCoBoi187 3 years ago

...one thing though - DX10.1? Are you being serious? It's utterly useless.

better vista SP1 support, try reading around like articles.
LoCoBoi187 3 years ago
DX10.1 gives better Vista SP1 support? That makes a whole lot of sense...
