866697 2010-03-24 08:25:00 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

OMG!...was?!..seriousl!...Nv is NOT using GDDR3 mate with Fermi, the ATi had to use 5, however their memory bandwidth wasnt even been used, do a bit of research mate, you are starting to get embarrassing. If nv finished, Ati would start price gouging, like they are now with no competition...the price of the 5 series has gone up since release!
Bandwidth is calculated via memory speed and bandwidth, NOT GPU speed..GPU speed is limited along with pipeline, IPC is NOT!.
Dont argue with me, I have been involved with IT since before you were born!

Was typo bro meant to say GDDR5 haha. Who cares about specs? When performance is all it matters hahahaha LOL

866700 2010-03-24 22:23:00 Really arguing Fermi vs Cypress is kinda pointless until we see the across the board performance numbers, and then its a value for money thing.

ATI and NVidia are now at the stage where developers are spending very little time and money enhancing the PC version of cross platform games, and the developers know if they want the big money they have to make the game for console too. The requirement for further GPU generations are seriously threatened, we have all seen it coming, unfortunately it has arrived, maybe they need to have a joint strategy :P

Ummm, i'm not convince of this at all, consoles are very poor versions of PC games, i doubt seriously the amount of R&D that ATI & NV put into hardware and NV to game development that this will happen...perhaps you are getting the wrong games?

866703 2010-03-25 00:09:00 Majority of games coming out now are console ports, its not very often now we get to see a game on pc before xbox/ps3 has it for a month or so hueybot3000 (3646)
866704 2010-03-25 01:01:00 PC games are far more sophisticated than console games, and require more powerful graphics. Sure there are any number of console ports but to say they are majority console before pc games is naff! ATi & nVidia just wouldnt spend the R&D on hardware if that were the case! SolMiester (139)
866705 2010-03-25 01:08:00 Ok I'm only speaking from the games I play. I think the last game that I bought that didnt come out on console before was Crysis. After that, Grid, Dirt 2, Prototype, GTA4 and most recently Just Cause 2. Its out on xbox but im still waiting on the steam download.

I don't really mind that games are out on console, consoles can be good. But when I sit down at my computer and have to put up with ****ty console style controls, auto aim that cant be turned off etc. It's just frustrating. Even Dirt 2 was arcaded up a bit which I can only guess is for console players.

I just think computer games are being dumbed down to cater for consoles. Less coding and more system support obviously makes sense if your tryin to sell a game as many times over as possible but it'd be nice to see someone put some effort into making good computer games that consoles just cant handle
