| 866626 | 2010-03-16 20:56:00 | $720 for a 470? Screw that, if the recent benchmarks are anything to go by, I'm sticking to a 5870. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

Cheapest 5870 I see on pricespy is $646 CUDA, PhysX.....don't care about that stuff. Meh. :p SLI without profiles? What do you mean? My experience with 4830s in CF is pretty good. And I only hear about good things with crossfiring 5xxx cards. Not sure about the performance between a GTX470 and 5870, but I guess time will tell.... |

AFAIK, Xfire requires a game profile from ATi, SLI does not.... |

| 866632 | 2010-03-17 03:09:00 | You don't do folding at home or heavy encoding..too bad.. I like PhysX, however my card isnt powerful enough to handle it....there are now 15 games that support it and on a decent card looks excellent.... | SolMiester (139) | ||

Cheapest 5870 I see on pricespy is $646 Cuda fuda is nothing and if u want physx just add another card like a 8800gt and run a physx hack. u can use an ati card as ur primary display aswell and there are also leak drivers for physx support for ati cards |

Thats what a I7 is for :) ill leave my GPU doing GPU work, and Nvidia can keep there marketing gimmicks to themselves. Hopefully the game developers will stop taking back handers from Nvidia soon and stop integrating that worthless unnecessary technology. |

Hopefully the game developers will stop taking back handers from Nvidia soon and stop integrating that worthless unnecessary technology. Thing is, GPUs can actually be faster than your CPU for doing some things. Take RAR archive password cracking for example, much faster when running on a GPU than CPU. I read this example once: "If the computer was to read a book, the CPU reads each page, then goes onto the next one, as normal. However the GPU tears each page up into 500 pieces and reads all the pieces at the same time" |
