The chaps over at HardOCP published
their GeForce GTX 580 vs. Radeon HD 5970 2GB performance
evaluation. If you want to know how the GeForce GTX 580 compares to
AMD's CrossFireX on a card, this article is for you.
The HD 5970 delivers faster gaming framerates compared to the GeForce
GT 580. However, if you look at the actual usability of those
frame the picture is a bit different. The GeForce GTX 580
allows a consistently higher level of the gameplay experience compared
to the Radeon HD 5970. We were able to game at higher
settings with the GTX 580 than we were with the Radeon HD 5970. The
most important factor, beyond framerates, is the visual quality and
experience returned by the product. The GeForce GTX 580 allows a more
immersive, smoother, and consistent quality of gameplay.
The Radeon HD 5970 is a tad less expensive at $469.99
after $30 MIR (and supports Eyefinity) versus the GeForce GTX 580 at
$499 currently. If you already have a Radeon HD 5970, keep it, it is a
great card and you already know that if you own one. If you are on a
lesser generation, and looking to upgrade right now, no
question, get the GeForce GTX 580 if you have the cash. The
extra money spent will pay off with its higher VRAM capacity, and
higher level of consistent gameplay experience. Plus, you can always
hook up two GTX 580 cards in SLI that will surely blow the 5970 away,
if you have happen to be independently wealthy.
