NVidia vs AMD

[sam_p_lay]

I really would prefer for there not to be an argument over this stuff because I'd prefer the poll results to not be influenced by the discussion, but I would be interested in evidence of HardOCP's bias if you have a link handy? No worries if not, I'll bear it in mind anyway, but I've found them pretty trustworthy so I'm interested to know if that's not the case.

I do mostly GPU computing things, such as mining crypto, so I do AMD exclusively. But, I am not like the other people who are AMD exclusively, as I am not fanboyishly into AMD. I would switch to Nvidia if they improved their computing power. Right now, they are so very behind AMD that I don't see them improving in this aspect any time soon. Also, AMD is cheaper (great for me since I am not very rich at all)

no preference here. just whatever is best value at the time.

This is last years thread.
But for me its AMD all the way

nVIDIA is not behind on compute. They're behind in the particular type of compute (single precision I believe) that benefits Bitcoin mining. In other compute-intensive applications (like Folding) they're way ahead of AMD.

Nvidia 4 life!

Don't forget adaptive v-sync - that's the best feature! ;-) Do you have a GTX690? I need an upgrade soon.

And that outperforms AMD 7990.

But that's a lie.

Anyway, why am I posting in a bait thread? >.>

Bitcoin/litecoin and F@H are both double precision which AMD kick butt at
