| 870698 | 2010-03-28 22:48:00 | Is this it ? (www.playtech.co.nz). Looks like you'll need 250 W just to run it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 870699 | 2010-03-28 23:23:00 | If I was buying a new 4x0 series, I would be tempted to get the 470 version which in most cases especially DX11 competes with the 5870...wont cost as much, not as hot, nor have quite the heat output....unless you have a 30inch monitor that is! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 870700 | 2010-03-28 23:59:00 | The 4870x2 wouldn't run on anything less than a 650w PSU........ New GPUs, drool........ |

| 870701 | 2010-03-29 04:57:00 | I got a 1000w corsair PSU so I am not worried about the power draw. Now that the new cards are almost out I have to decide between the new 480 and the 5970. Specifically this one www.pp.co.nz |

| 870703 | 2010-03-29 06:27:00 | 5970 for sure. Beats the 480 by a considerable margin, and although a dual-GPU, is much better in terms of heat and power consumption relative to power. I mean seriously, the 480s hit high 90s loaded, imagine the temps on a hot sticky summer's day!!! |

| 870704 | 2010-03-29 07:15:00 | I have always been a nVidia fan, and I had finally decided to grab the ATI, now once again I am undecided. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 870705 | 2010-03-29 07:53:00 | Be even more confused and undecided and read this thread. pressf1.co.nz Even the real fanboys can't agree on which is best and I also note that none of these have an actual 480 YET. Either way it's a fair bit of money to spend and I can understand you wanting to get it right first time up. I too have a penchant for nVidia chipsets but in this case I simply have no idea how the Fermi based card will perform in the real world. Also not I'm not a gamer per se and I make no apology for that. The odd game of FlightSim 2004 is my limit and I'm not like Jack who has herds of addons and scenery and about 20,000,000 other planes in the same airspace. If I want reality I simply go outside and interact in Hi def with other people and events as they occur and my brain has to keep up with probably more frames per second than any card can put out. I also play Chess but I find everything moves really slowly. |
