God I am so glad I don't own one of these cards, what a total piece of junk.

You may be right Tom. Might be more to the story though. The updates appear to address specific game concerns and not general performance issues. Are developers optimizing for a certain chipsets?

they don't address anything. Drivers are broken sort of, they do nothing for Skyrim except break it even further. I just sold 6750 cross fire (two cards) and bought gtx460 1gb, overclocked it to 900 mhz, installed latest drivers and everything works like a charm. No fiddling with with anything. Even Rage works like a charm, no problems with slow texture streaming that I thought it was my CPU to blame. Turns out - it wasn't.

AMD is primarily creating hardware to score on benchmarks, nVidia creates them to play games.

it's not hardware that disappoints, it's the drivers...
there were bad drivers in both companies but....

Totally agree...Ati: great cards, crap driver.

I currently own two 570s, two 5850s, one 460 1Gb and one 4850.

I own these cards out of a hobbie, since I like testing stuff, doing benchmarks and so on.

So far I have to say that Nvidia is indeed a bit better on the dual gpu front, but AMD is doing a decent job as well.

You guys should not forget that AMD is preparing to launch a new series in a couple of months and their driver team is diverting resources to it. The new series will have a new hardware scheduler and a serious general architecture overhaul, so expect some clusterfucks in the next few weeks. People that jump pointing fingers have no idea about PC progress.

As for RAGE that was mentioned above, please don't forget that RAGE used proprietary Nvidia CUDA code, to implement their megatexture decompressing and then people jumped to point fingers at AMD for having problems with the game. Seriously guys. Address your anger to developers that are sell outs and not to hardware manufacturers.

That goes both ways of course. If you remember a while back, Dragon Age Origins was running like fuck on Nvidia cards. I myself whitnessed the game running the same on a single 5850 and a single GTX 570, while the GTX 570 runs around 50% faster most of the time.

There are agreements flying around in PC gaming. We should condemn them as much as we must learn to live with them. Nvidia just makes more agreements. That's all there is to it.

"

I am listening to this for the last past 8 years. Fol me once, shame on me...fool me twice...shame on J.W. Bush :D

I just dished out 2x6750 (overclocked to 900mhz on both cores) and BF3 works better (overall) with one 460gtx 1GB overclocked to 900mhz. Skyrim? 460gtx destroys 6750 CFX on so many levels. Some other games I play like Split Second - 460gtx works better (very high settings is smooth, while on 6750 cfx it is not) even thou CFX appears to be working on 6750s. Let's not kid ourselves, my resolution is 1680x1050, those 6750s were oced to max (sliders can't go further) so they are over the 6770 default performance by ~15-20%. Two of them cost about ~170 euros here. I got 460gtx 1gb for 80 euros.

now, 5850 was a great card, still is but I had to sell it at some point (I am not a rich capitalist bastard like Koogle :D :D :D so I cannot collect vid cards for hobby :P ), but I'd say with hands down that I like 460gtx more, and I would take one 5850 over ANY CFX setup out there. AMD drivers ARE THAT BAD, mostly because they are UNPREDICTABLE!

PS. I, as a consumer, DON'T care what game like Rage uses, I care ho it works. ATI/AMD had over EIGHT years to counter "the way it's meant to be played" program, they had an equal opportunity to acquire AGEIA, they had ample time during all these years to do somethigng about it. They didn't. They just let us AMD users bitch about it and how nvidia plays dirty. Do AMD users profit from that? I think not. I don't think I will be picking any more of AMD products. I don't have the nerves anymore.
