[citation][nom]dreamphantom_1977[/nom]You can can tell toms is full of ati fanboys. You throw evidence out that "CLEARLY" shows gtx 480 is faster then ati 5870 and they still say ati is better and you post evidence showing gtx 480 is more powerful, and the fanboys just pretend like the evidence isn't there. Then when they are cornered, they throw out heat and noise and power consumption, as if running any high end rig is really energy efficient (rofl), and everyone knows if you have the money to spend on tri sli, it's gonna end up water cooled. Even toms writers are ati fanboys, as every other site clearly shows gtx 480 is the winner, and they base there best buy on non AA numbers, when everyone knows a true test of a graphics card is what it can run "MAX" settings in a non bottlenecked system, which obviously they taylored to give ati an advantage. Not even mentioning that for ati to physx you still need to purchase a nvidia card. (See my last post, that what probably thumbs down to -4 and not showing now because it shows the truth that even in toms articles is there bias towards ati even though it is underpowered). The only win I would give ati would be in the dual gpu single card win. Yeah, it's the champ right now, but you still don't have physX. In the charts, it clearly shows nvidia is the winner. I'm getting so sick of posting anything about nvidia, and always thumbs down. I could just post a fricken pic of nvidia and no comments and it would get 10 thumbs down. The only win I give ati is availability. We are gamers, not tree huggers. Seriously, they are talking sli and crossfire with top end cards. Energy efficiency isn't a huge concern with hardcore gamers. If it was, nobody would even be buying high end cards. There wouldn't even be a market for it, but there is. Also, all the cards run hot and loud, thats why most people water cool. Obviously it's not in the news about gtx 480's burning up more then any other cards, so it's not a problem. And yes, the system setup is bottlenecking the cards. So sick of everyone bashing posts just because it's "nvidia". Seriously, I just about had it with toms forums. It's B.S. Go ahead, give me thumbs down, I don't care, cuz it just proves my point.I've never seen any other forum's that are so blindsided to benchmarks and so one sided. It's rediculous, I mean most of us are fanboys, but it's rediculous that the same comments keep coming up after every post about nvidia and every time you post you get negative after negative if you post anything positive about nvidia. Yeah, there cards run hot, and aren't as efficient as ati's, but they are great cards and offer a lot for the money. Look at the charts. But you don't see me or other nvidia fans giving negatives on every ati post.[/citation]
ati fanboys what about nvidia fanboys saying "the GTX480 is the fastest single GOU card" well maybe but it still is not the fastest Video card, thats like saying my FTO is the fastest non turbo car, there are faster cars out there, who the hell wants 1kW of consumption FFS! you say high end rigs dont really care about energy consuption, well i dont wanna use 1kW (1000 watts) of energy on a system that is noisier than my TV, and beleieve me real Gamers care about this crap all you are doing is covering up the obvious short falls of Fermi, your idea on physx is mute people dont really give a flying f**k about physx, notice how the benchie used 3 GTX480s and only 2 5870, use the same money and put 4 5870s against 3 480GTX and then we see nvidia get thier ass handed to them, besides just weeks away in the rumour super clocked 5870 with 2 GB GDDR5 RAM with 1 GB each using thier OWN memory controller, 512bit effective through pout, i see the GTX480 going down
