Default AMD to take back graphics crown from Nvidia ?

just some chatter....

http://rage3d.com/board/showthread.p...916399&page=53


"Hi Man,
According to me, if the 4870 is 3/4 the speed of the 280, there are
major problems for nvidia. Not just this round, but next round. This
round, single GPU performance crown is already handed to Nvidia, for
good reason, that chip will be a beast. Enter...the wild card.
CrossfireX.
Lets say you have $425 you are going to spend, and you want yourself
some kickass graphics. If the 260 manages to plummet that far, there
is that option....or these readily available HD 4850's in crossfire.
Thats like having two supremely overclocked 9800GTX's in SLI.
3950/3970. If these cards come out, and clock high enough to match a
8800GT, and be cheaper....balls. Here are the definites..

****G92b IS A 9800GT! NOT A 9800GTX! A MID TO LOW END GPU!!!!! It is
not the savior of everything single-core nvidia!!****
-4850 annihilates an 8800GT/9800GT, but will cost more.
-4850 is 5-10% better than a 9800GTX(from henceforth the 9800GTX will
be known as rye bread), and will cost less than the rye bread I speak
of.
-4870 is in its own class, and quite possibly could be as fast as a
GTX 260.
-3870X2. Where do I start? If this cards drivers are enhanced enough
to make it perform close to two 3870's in crossfire, and be
consistent, CURTAINS. It is now officially over. $300-350 for a card
that will be faster than a 4870, and faster than a GTX 260, without
the need for crossfire....please. Its cheaper to make than two 3870's,
and nVidia will have this stigma of losing to a previous gen, dual GPU
card that STILL uses less power. I am telling you man, if this
situation comes to pass, I think the 3870X2 availability might vanish
because of the popularity. It won't take the place of the 4870, but it
will evenly round out ATI's price points.
-2 x 4850's own a GTX 260, and compete with a GTX 280.
-2 x 4870's mop the floor with a GTX 280, and have time to smoke a
cigarette to calm down afterwards.

Those are just the facts man.

But now the hitch. Nvidia's price drop will make it so two 4870's are
more expensive than a GTX 280. Smart, but costly. That means that
Nvidia loses money for each and every sale. No breaking even, if parts
fail(which they will with that kind of heat), you have replacement
cost. One thing you gotta say about the 2900's....they didn't croak
that often. Not 7900GT, 8800GT, or 8800GTS kind of problems. Anyway,
if the cards fail a bunch...consider the GTX 280 a rehash of the
7800GTX 512, and the GTX 260 a top end part. Making ATI a contender
for the crown. Overclocked 4870's....I think so. Now think about
this...a previous generation 3870X2, defeating a GTX 260...the highest
performing available card in nVidia's arsenal....at $350~.


What did the five fingers say to the face???? SLAP!!!!"

NVIDIA shakened by Radeon HD 4800, lowers prices?
Written by Andreas G 11 June 2008 18:53

It seems that NVIDIA believed that RV770 would only have 480 shader
processors, and only be a modest upgrade of the RV670 core. This is
suppose to be one of the reasons for the rather high prices of the
GeForce GTX cards, that and the ridiculous manufacturing costs. Now
that it has been unveiled that RV770 does not have 480 shader
processors, but rather 800, it seems NVIDIA might lower the price of
the GeForce GTX 260 to make it a bit more appealing in comparison to
Radeon HD 4870. We're hearing $399 from more than one source, but
we're also hearing that Radeon HD 4870 might not come as cheap as
hoped, $349. The GeForce GTX prices are expected to stay put for a
long time, but AMD has every possibility to lower the prices of its
new graphics cards, if sales are slow, without losing much money.

Then why regurgitate this c**p in your OP instead of just posting the
original URL? A characteristic stamp of the mindless troll.......

The psycho-schizo idiot asshole went ahead and added AMD R700 to it's
list of dumb**** fruitcake aliases. And the loon is on a posting
frenzy with the other multiple personality identity of NV55 at the
same time.

The fact is nobody is really going to be excited by the GX200 or the
RV700. The last upgrade cycle had the Geforce 8800GT which is a very
good card for a lot less than $200 now. The simple reality is that
there is no game pushing the graphics capability except Crysis right
now and even if some people want to keep playing Crysis at 1920 by
1200 with all high settings and more than 30 fps, they are doing it
with 8800GT in SLI for less than half the price of the next iteration
of cards. These new cards cost too much and use too much power for
only a fractional improvement in performance.

Until a game comes along that is, first of all, really good and
secondly, requiring a lot more power at a much higher price, the
graphics card market hits a flat spot here. It may take two more
versions before another upgrade cycle happens. And so far, there is
very little news about any PC game soon that is going to require any
sort of major graphics card upgrade. It looks like at least a year
before that happens. Also, Micro$crotum really needs to stop with the
horse**** and make DX10 independent of Vista. All they are doing is
hurting the PC gaming market with that lying piece of crap.

and now
AMD R700 has been added to the psycho-schizo loon's list.

I think you really need to consider decaf.

Given that I've got an X800 from 2004 I certainly am.

With something that old, you are looking at a whole new system, not
just a new graphics card.
