ATI... erm, AMD vs nVidia!

I think the GTX 460 is still the price / performance sweet-spot.

fo sho i reckon the 560 will be the new mid range king....

[StarBound]

I doubt it. The 6870 is priced as a 460 but performs like a 470.

and I though that the HD5850 would take the crown from the HD4850. I was wrong.

[StarBound]

The 8800gt brought more smiles than the 4850 did. I never saw much of a difference between the cards. Only that one was nvidia and the other was ati.

[KillerByte]

The HD4850 was priced just right.

[Mystical_Titan]

I doubt it. The 6870 is priced as a 460 but performs like a 470.

The biggest thing the 6870 has going for it is how well it scales in CrossFire.

Whole heartedly agreed.

Check out our HD 6870 Crossfire review in the February issue of PCFormat.

/shameless punt

Your asking us to wait for 2 months

Remember I had crossfire for 3 days and I thought the extra noise, heat and power usage wasnt worth it. Their is a maximum point where the rest of your hardware is a bottleneck or stop block. Eg SA internet has telkom stopping it from being great.

The ati hd 5770 vs gts 450. which one is better??

[Mystical_Titan]

No clue... did you check Tom's Hardware and Guru 3D?

[KALSTER]

The ati hd 5770 vs gts 450. which one is better??

Reviews suggest the 5770, if I am not mistaken.

[THE_STIG]

Yea but I hate toms hardware and I just thought it would be interesting to get an opinion form the people here

Thought so

[Mystical_Titan]

But if SLi is on the cards, then I think the 450 would probably be a better choice.

The review is from BitTech. How much can you get it for? Because the GTX460 768MB is almost in that same price range and outperforms both cards by 30%.

[THE_STIG]

I am not sure about the pricing, they go from R1300-R2000 depending on the store.

[Mystical_Titan]

I would love to get a pair of GTX 460s, but if I do manage to sell my 5970, I'll get a pair of GTX 560s... amped to see how they'll perform.

[KALSTER]

If I ever get a pair of anything, it'll be 6970s.

[Mystical_Titan]

From what I hear, they're a bit disappointing?

Yea sounds like another slightly upgraded series of re badged cards, the HD 6 series wont be what the HD 5 series was that is for sure

[Mystical_Titan]

The benchies look pretty decent though... too lazy to go through it properly now.
