AMD is calling Nvidia out on their claim to have "The World's Fastest Video Card".
Both companies have recently released dual GPU cards that they believe to be the best, AMD's Radeon HD 6990, and Nvidia's GTX 590. AMD's Public Relations Manager, Dave Erskine, says the Radeon HD 6990 was created to be "a game changer", and Nvidia has "no substantiation based on industry-standard benchmarks, similar to what AMD did with industry benchmark 3DMark 11, the latest DirectX 11 benchmark from FutureMark.”

that fight will never end.
ReplyDeleteI still preffer Nvidia, always had problems with those darn Radeon's!
ReplyDeleteI want GTX 590 ftw!
ReplyDeleteI've always been more of a NVidia man myself, but I am definitely interested in that.
ReplyDeleteThis just means more competition and more evolved and developed graphics to come in the future. :D
P.S. - Only difference I have ever honestly noticed between NVidia and AMD/ATI is, ATI is far better at shadow rendering while NVidia was more into Smoothing things out.
Have you seen the physical cards? ATI is fawking lazy. 1 small fan. Nvidia puts fans everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI know who I'd choose.
I currently use Nvidia
ReplyDeleteAs long as there is competition, thats what I say.
ReplyDeleteI'm an ATI and AMD guy myself.
ReplyDelete@Alexis, i don't think that really stands for anything considering Nvidia's is known for running much hotter than ATI's
ReplyDeletei had an ATI but my new lappy has an Nvidia. I it hard to compare though as 1 is better than the other. But i like Catylyst better than NVidias one.
ReplyDeleteHaha, don't you love it when two rival companies do that? Say they have the best of what ever it is that they are selling? It seems to me that phone companies in America do that daily.
ReplyDeleteI like both ATi and nVidia, but for me the edge has always been to nVidia cos of their simpler and more reliably drivers.
ReplyDeleteSomething about nVidia bothers me,ATI all the way.
ReplyDeleteI've always used ATI. Always will.
ReplyDeleteHaha that's gonna be interesting, to see how that plays out.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how far graphic technology would be if there wasn't fierce competition between these two groups.
ReplyDeletenVidia fan here
ReplyDeleteThat's a constant battle.
ReplyDeleteI love ATI/AMD
ReplyDeleteAfter Nvidia screwed me over with not releasing linux drivers for Optimus notebooks & not even making it run good on Windows, I hate them...
Remember the days of tomb raider on a 32mb card?
ReplyDeleteGood read, dying to get myself a new video card, probably sticking with ATI, followed for more :)
ReplyDeleteawesome been looking to build a new tower wonder how much it costs $$$
ReplyDeleteUsed to be Nvidia, but turned about a year ago, never looked back :)
ReplyDeletedamn, i bet that could handle that new crysis game
ReplyDeletealways been more of a NVidia guy myself
ReplyDeletenice to know though :D
Okay, maybe I mis-spoke. Nvidia is focused on pushing the boundaries (see Tegra 2, etc.) and if that means running hot, I'm okay with that.
ReplyDeleteAs far as ATI goes, I had one before (HD 4670 I think) and to get it to scale on screens properly was a nightmare. My Nvidia GTX570 did it straight off the bat, I didn't actually have to do anything.
Honestly, I'd be happy with either one of those..
ReplyDeleteyeah.. what justin said. i cant run q3 on my pc.
ReplyDeleteThere be a shit storm a brewin' between these companies!
ReplyDeleteI prefer Nvidia...
ReplyDeleteYet my laptop has ATI, haha
WOw I need one of those haha. My vid card is so crap. Come check me out, alphabetalife.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIn a year we will have something new. I usualy don't buy new technologies, because they tend to be overpriced.
ReplyDeleteGot a unlocked 6950 here with 6970 firmware, much better price/quality then those overkilled cards imo
ReplyDeleteNice, thanks for this.
ReplyDeletehave you seen this ?
