ATI FTW~ Affordable Pricing And Great Performance And Great Quality~ :D

nVidia is OVERRATED~ just because of the numerous "MADE FOR NVIDIA" games... just because they have sponsors... its how they get their funding~ from stupid gamers that buy nvidia because the game says so~

When a CPU has multiple cores, the speed doesn't add up.

So you will have a triple core CPU running at 2.2Ghz not 6.6Ghz.

Remember to get a good quality PSU, like from Thermaltake, Corsair, OCZ..etc

Well it was good for me until now, when I turn my pc on the graphics card makes a very loud noise and the screen won't pick up. I would say the fan is gone and will need to buy a new graphics card. If anyone knows what's wrong with it tell me.

@Intanius Remember the 196.75 forceware drivers? They killed video cards and that left many people shit out of luck. I was one of them. I have owned 5 Nvidia cards all of which died. I have owned 2 Ati cards that are still working. Both companies have great performance but I just got sick of throwing money at Nvidia. I have seen some funky stuff with Ati drivers but I have seen problems with Nvidia drivers too.

@zomgbbqwth

nvidia has better drivers and good linux/unix support

Can I crossfire two 1GB models with a 620w power supply?

[Bibazavr]

@hunter5284 Which will suck 4870's balls like in a millisecond.

[Avataryoutuification]

@nelizmastr Meh - too some extent.

[nelizmastr]

@Avataryoutuification the 4670 still is a great card.

@zomgbbqwth well can't say that when comparing the ati 5000 series vs the 400 series nvidia. ati series are just a bit more expensive overall. but they will come down soon, just before the release of the 6000 series.
