GamePC compares the two fastest graphics cards on the market for a holiday GPU showdown:
nVidia's GeForce 7800 GTX 512 MB card is simply a better performer in very gaming benchmark we threw at it. nVidia's combination of a highly-clocked 24-pipeline GPU and half a gig of 1.7 GHz GDDR-3 memory is unbeatable

Huh? What is so pro-ATI in this comparison? Its more of opposite. Check the Nvidia drivers and what CPU they use and review this so called comparison before you post crap like what you have done now.

Oh r'lly? Where? More of that they "probably" tried to make the point that few uses SM 3.0 in games right now(at that time) only Far Cry is the game that i know of right now that uses it.

You forgot "f-u-n-c-t-i-o-n/-s". Repeat six times in your head for best possible effect! as recommended by the proud people in Ministry of Health. Peace and out.
A question: Are you an Nvidia fan boy? |

9fps, who gives a shit. It comes down to cost and common sense. Let's see, you have to buy 2 7800 GTX cards running in SLI for 8 fps. I think you would have to be an addict or a retard who doesn't truly know the value of money to spend the kind of doh to get a measily 8-9fps. That's over a $1000 US for 9fps! Duh. Considering 30FPS is all anyone needs, 37fps good smooth play if the game code is decent at all. Then lets not forget power usage to go SLI requiring a new power supply fans and likely another case. Totally even more retarded. So how anyone can put nvidia anywhere on top is beyond me. Even push Nvidia. I admit, they got a nice card but it's at a huge cost for LITTLE gain.
Looking at this page
http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/ati_radeon_x1800_xt_xl/page5.asp
Shows the ATI cards have room to get faster. I don't know what I would go with if I was a retard with that kind of money, shit I'd rather fix my house or spend it on my family instead. I don't see any wrong decision going with ATI or nVidia. Just depends on whats more important to you. Your money or your ego. |

SLI will never truely attain it's full potential because no one really cares enough to design an engine that will take full advantage of what nVidia is offering.
Perhaps future driver updates will increase it's overall utilization of power.
I personally believe that it's essentially a novelty feature that will die out in about a years time, well I pray that it does anyways.
The prices for these setups and cards ARE crazy, people have gotta be blind to not notice that the value for money is rock bottom. |
