So that's a reason to skimp on a GPU? Some games are ports. Some are not. Which is why we have gaming PCs. And don't all run ancient linux boxes only. GPU first, CPU 2nd. Which is NOT to say pair a great GPU with last years CPU. And thank you, I do game. Perhaps not online so much but I DO GAME. And not Solitaire either.	pctek (84)

Nivida likes to do this **** haha Anyways yes the 480 will beat the 5870, but still loses against the 5970. And the 5970 is A LOT cheaper (you can get 2x 5870s for around 1k in NZ). Nvidia will prob make 2x cards of the 480 (485 or some sort). And ATI will reply with their 5890 cards haha!	Ollie (794)

Yes, pinch of salt.....and we are talking about single GPU performance, NOT dual, CF or SLI which come with there own little quirks!	SolMiester (139)
866691	2010-03-24 01:42:00	Yes, pinch of salt.....and we are talking about single GPU performance, NOT dual, CF or SLI which come with there own little quirks! Who cares if its a single card, apart frm the fact it produces less heat and requires less power. AS long as performs better and cheaper i am happy LOL! And nvidias goal for the 480 was to beat the 5870, they have done that but at the same time made it so pricy you could get 2x 5870 and beat the **** out of it. As i said ATI will reply with the 5890 and crown king of the single card whilst being cheaper than the 480 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. ATI is in the better situation, nvidia soon will "try" to crown the king of single card soon, but at that time enthusiist will already have the 5890 LOL and nvidia prices does not justify to upgrade LO)L	Ollie (794)

Did you check out tessellation figures?....480 beats 2x5xxx series. In case you don't realise, the 5870 is fast enough for most monitors, even 25x16, the key will be the newer coding for new games and that is where Fermi rapes cypress.	SolMiester (139)

Dont get to excited with Tessellation figures, most of the recent releases are DX9 based and when they have added DX10/11 support its a token gesture with minor improvements to water or smoke etc, maybe shadows (thanks consoles). DX11 Tessellation performance "Might" be important for the next generation of GPU's (we hope).	Battleneter2 (9361)

Well, my card wont be doing any of it and I wont be getting Fermi, maybe Fermi III.....so I doubt I will be seeing any of it. However, I dont think junior sees the difference between Ati GPU speed and nV IPC GPU's....ATi have fast GPU's but only due to their established smaller die process... As for DX10\11, depends what engine they use doesnt it!	SolMiester (139)

As for DX10\11, depends what engine they use doesnt it! Dude not many games take advantage of the nivida archetichure, and even in those games ATI doesnt perform too bad against nvidia counterparts. ATI is actually smart to make the GPU faster (GDDR5 since the 4xxx series) and decrease the memory bit as it costs considerably less, whilst nivida was still using GDDR3. Now Nvidia is using GDDR3, and has DECREASED their bit bus from 512 cause it costs a fuk load. Said that, nvidia was good back in the 7xxx and 8xxx series. But after the 8800GT they have become ****, they should just shut the fuk down like the other companies did	Ollie (794)
