So how fareth the battle between ATI and nVidia these days?

[Goosey_J]

Wtf is that?

 

[Phoenix]

The worlds' fastest graphics card which is made by AMD!

 

[Goosey_J]

Is that really legit? I've never even heard of it before!

 

[Gorman]

Looks like an overclocked 5870.

To be honest, i would go for 1 580 and a new cpu and motherboard for that price.

 

[Phoenix]

Is that really legit? I've never even heard of it before!

Yes, it is a bit expensive though

 

[Sleinous]

lolwut? Who would pay the price for that xD

 

[Goosey_J]

Bit much really

 

[Phoenix]

I think someone here did actually, Matt? maybe. I don't really remember their name.

Somehow it feels like bling factor comes into the equation with that card... even then :O
I remember reading about it in custom pc mag and i was like ???!!!?!?!?!

Omfg the person that would buy that baby is me before I bought my 5970 :-( if I had seen this I would have bought that, could I put two in my rampage 3 extreme in xfire if so I might sell my 5970 and my misses and go that way.

 

[Nemesis]

hah they'd put you in an insane asylum for doing that

 

[Freeley]

Just thought i'd bump this back up - is the Radeon 6970 dual or single GPU then?
From what i'm reading here there can be more potential issues with duals than with singles.
I was planning on getting a 6970 but if it's dual core perhaps i'd be better off with an nvidia of some sort?

 

[BAD SANTA]

6970 is a single gpu card.

 

[Freeley]

Ah nice one cheers

 

[BAD SANTA]

No problem dude, and cheers for the rep.
