| 1149997 | 2010-11-03 02:26:00 | Ok so I'm building a new computer, and I've had two recommendations for the video card. I am mainly wanting to use it for programs such as CS5, plus the odd gaming. I had these two picked because I wanted dual DV-I monitors. My question is, could I have a vote on which card people think I should get? The Sapphire ATI Radeon HD6870 1GB GDDR5 PCIE (www.computerlounge.co.nz) or the EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX460 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E (www.computerlounge.co.nz)? I was recommended the second one due to rendering out in CS5, but would like to hear some opinions on this. Thanks in advance |

| 1150002 | 2010-11-03 03:14:00 | Thanks for that rawkus1020. Looks like I'm going for the EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX460 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E. Thanks for the help guys. :D | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1150003 | 2010-11-03 03:15:00 | In terms of price vs performance that card is sitting right on the sweet spot, and the main reason, its not ATI. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1150004 | 2010-11-03 03:53:00 | I'm using a 5870 and it works fine for cs5, gaming is great too, much faster than a gtx460 I don't think the 6870 is priced much different from the 460, and its almost as fast as the 5870, I'd go with the AMD card. | Deimos (5715) | ||
| 1150005 | 2010-11-03 03:54:00 | With the rubbish Catalyst drivers, I wouldn't touch ATI with a 10ft pole. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1150006 | 2010-11-03 06:31:00 | The Sapphire ATI Radeon HD6870 1GB GDDR5 PCIE (www.computerlounge.co.nz) OMG! The 6series!! I'll have the 6970, or 6870x2 or whatever it will be. And I have no problems with drivers......... |
