hi pals,
my friend is upgrading his gpu. he finalized two cards from red & Green, the red one HD 5830 and the green GTX 285 both from XFX with 1gb memory respectively.his main use is video editing, and most importantly he is a hardcore gamer (budget limit) prices are very equal just $10 differ from red to green, gtx 285 is $150 and HD 5830 is $160. the question is simply gtx 512 bit ddr3 and direct X 10 but HD 5830 is 256 bit DDR5,Direct X 11. Which has smokin hot in gaming and hd encoding. his psu is seasonic S12II-520w.
Personally i used both, for my self gtx won the crown(lot of online benchmarks sites too), he is willing to buy the red one cause its ddr5 & dx 11. He uses adobe premier cs5 and maya 11. he plays crysis 2 @1680x1050. he doesn't crossfire or sli.
does it really change the performance in gaming that 512bit gpu with ddr3 and 256bit ddr5, cause when 512 bit card the data transfer rate is equal to ddr5 256bit card's data transfer rate. or am i wrong.
anyway which one is good for media encoding, gaming in ur opinion and why, every reply will help most.
thank you all.
