Notice the word "should" in my post. Then look up the definition of "should" when used in the context I used it in.
They only come off as bad to ATi fanboys. The fact of the matter is that I am right, and judging by the fact that you can't seem to actually make an attempt to disprove what I have said, I'm guess you already knew this. It isn't that I don't like ATi/AMD, I love them. However, I look at the facts and see that ATi cards aren't anything amazing. A lot of people seem to want to make it out like nVidia is in some world of hurt, and that ATi is doing so much better than nVidia right now. I simply don't see it that way. Unfortunately, this generally means I am responding to some idiotic ATi fanboy's claims that ATi is so much better than nVidia, and usually the idiotic fanboy then does nothing more than claim I am the fanboy. And just like you, they can never make any kind of valid argument to back up their point, so they usually just resort to trying to imply that I am anti-ATi or an nVidia fanboy.
I don't know why it is so hard to accept that ATi isn't so far ahead as people seem to want to you believe. I think proof enough is looking at W1z's last performance chart next to the last performance per $ chart. For every ATi card(with the exception of the HD4870x2) there is an nVidia card that is equal in performance, and in every instance that nVidia card offers a better Performance per $.
Though I'm sure next you'll try to say that W1z is just a fanboy too, and that W1z believes that ATi is shit and no one should buy their cards also. Because his charts pretty much say exactly what I have already said.
My posts are not meant to say that ATi cards are a bad buy. They contain the facts, you read them as you wish. My post, if anything, say that ATi isn't as good of a buy as everyone want to make it seem. The ones bias towards ATi tend twist that into me saying ATi is crap.
ATi is not putting out more GPU accelerated apps than nVidia. Streams is simply allowing ATi to catch up with what CUDA has enabled nVidia to do. This definitely is a good thing. And the fact that you believe CUDA is only used for PhysX shows how little you know. Though again, most people are not buying either one because of their ability to accelerate a few applications, they are buying them for gaming, their main purpose. I certainly didn't buy any of my nVidia cards because of CUDA, and it doesn't play a role in any of my future buying decisions, nor with Streams.
Oh cool, two links to Quak tests. Because that helps. Of course, looking at the other tests the performed kind of hinders your attempt...
Really? Considering there are hardly any reviews for these cards running in sli/cf modes I'd say at the moment the 4830s win. But AMD sucks, I hope they go out of business.
