If you don't have anything useful to say, please don't say anything. If you have evidence, please let us know.

You mad at facts? I don't owe you evidence, go look at the benchmarks on this very site.

6870 vs 560 - 6870 is cheaper and faster at games without physx - http://www.hwcompare.com/11005/geforce-gtx-560-vs-radeon-hd-6870/

20$ cheaper for a faster card.

Come at me bro.

This AMD/ATi driver thing has been going on for years and the whole 'baby driver' rhetoric is beyond tiresome, a year and a half ago there was this mention of 'issues' :-

Installing the drivers for Nvidia graphics cards usually goes flawlessly, and the cards are immediately recognized as an SLI configuration. Things can be a bit more problematic with AMD, especially if you try to do too many installation steps at once. Ideally, the installation works instantly, but in case of problems you have to install the cards one by one, and then enable CrossFire.

and now similar is being said of the 7xxx cards and their drivers.

Texel rates are virtually meaningless. What matters is game performance. Page through these benchmarks: the cards trade games roughly evenly.

Sort Newegg by price: the cards have almost exactly the same price range. The 6870 wins slightly on its cheapest card's rebate. You posted two cards that are $20 apart, yes, but I could have posted these:

My point here is that the cards are quite close together. The 6950/560 Ti and 6970/570 are even worse. AMD owns the high end for now, but I suspect we'll have a close race again as soon as Kepler comes out.
My real point is that's it's unfair to say that "AMD is simply cheaper and superior 90% of the time at the same price range."

The 6870 wins

Then my work here is done.

Personally I think nVidia cards are the best. I never have any problems with them driver wise but ATi Cards, I do.

AMD releases at LEAST 1 driver a month.....nVidia's driver updates have been very infrequent over the last 2-3 years.

Tell that to the AMD CF users who bought skyrim, and had to wait weeks for an update that allowed the CF to work with skyrim.

Nvidia often PRE-RELEASES drivers for new games.

I agree with kajabla. As I stated in my first post on this thread that it is a neck and neck race to out do each other since they are the only two.

Every card that is made is supposed to be the same, and what I mean by that is for example all the 560's are suppose to be the same in it's class, and all the 6870's, etc.

But we all know that some cards come OC'd and some have problems and some are just duds. Most everybody on here has had a bad and a good experince with both Nvidias and AMD.

Like I said before it comes down to personal preference and the need to get the card to fill one's needs. The difference in most cards from both sides are so scant that the brand defines which one will be bought.

Everybody can show all those benchmarks and charts and they are a good tool. I have found out on the benchmarks that other people you have the same setup almost all the time come up with different scores.

This is always going to be a war on the cards just like sports you have one team and there fans and the same with the other side, and course you will see one side try to out do the other.

There Is Nothing Wrong With AMD Or NVidia Its Mostly Preferance, I Prefer Nvidia Because They Generally Have Better Drivers And GPGPU Is More Perevelantly Supported (For The Current Moment That Is, It Will Soon Change)

It All Depends On Your Price Range, System Specs And Prefered Performance Characteristics

Id Personally Reccomend The GTX560 Range

Both are good, i found AMD is slightly cheaper with a good range,, a few years ago i found their software updates where hard to navigate, but they have fixed that.
I just recently upgraded my card (like 3days ago ) i went from a GTX 285, and now i have a 7950, and im loving it,, everything maxed, easy to do a simple OC with the software, really comes down to money and availabilty,, the good thing with the 7xxx series is when u xfire them u great responces like 100% increase in performance

 

[refillable]

fight again.... in a short time two fights? what's this?

 

[Mousemonkey]

Well people have had their say and the OP has not responded so we can end it here methinks.
