Don Karnage Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Warhead looks great, guess its time to sell my ancient one year old 8800GTS and start saving up for a new card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Cant wait for my second 8800GT to arrive to complete my SLI setup. Crysis chugs at 1024x768 at Very High on my Vista installation, though its silky smooth at 720p and the hacked Very High setting on my Win Xp installation. The second card should hopefully cure my Vista ails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 SPORE I played around with the Spore Creature Creator a bit - it's AWESOME. It's a whole lot of fun. I would love to see this on the DS - that's where it would shine. This is my first creation - called Ugly Bugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Karnage Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 NVIDIA to AMD: Chew on GeForce 9800 GTX+ Source I hope the 55nm refresh part is true, that means we can hope for GTX260 & 280 55nm cards by end of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Karnage Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 But its still waaaaaay off the GTX series. Yeah according to AMD's slides the 4850 is to compete with 9800GTX and the 4870 is set to perform at the gap between the 9800GTX & GTX series (maybe even compete with GTX260). The 4870x2 should be interesting if they can deliver drivers that scale well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 ^^ I doubt the x2s will do well. Although AMD's dual GPU architecture is better than nVidia's implementation, they just dont have the "oomph" to complete with nVidia's monsters. Pretty sad to see that they still havent managed to catch up with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sad to see that they still havent managed to catch up with them. Really?.. The 4870X2 should be a monster. It should wipe the floor with the GTX280. The 4850 is almost as good as the GTX260, and for much cheaper, lesser than half the price, 200$ vs. 450$.... The 4870 should be almost as good as the GTX280, again for lesser than half the price, 300$ vs. 650$.... The 4870X2 should release at 450$, and then the 4870 will drop to 220$ or so, the 4870X2 will be a total monster, specially since ATi has come up with the new bridge chip.

MarketTantrik Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 ^^ I'm willing to bet that by the time the 4870x2 is actually available in the mass market, the 280GTX will be priced substantially lower and an x2 version of the chip will be out. nVidia know the enthusiast market better than anyone else and have timed the release of the 200 series keeping the potential performance of the 48xx series in mind. I'm also willing to bet my collection of hats that nVidia has a DX 10.1 core in the works and will release it in the next 6 months, i.e. by the time AMD get around to making the 48xx more widely available.

Im guessing you dont know that it costs alomost 400$ for nVidia to manufacture the GTX280. The price will not drop below 500$. Also, forget about the cost, their Yields are SO SO SO SO bad due to the huge die size of the GTX280 core. ATI will not be able to catch up i have some info which i cant reveal which will put 280 as the top of of all cards and people will upgrade to it like they did when 8800GT came out. wait and watch Really?... You mean drop the price to 250$.. Fat chance... Lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
