Re: Patch day: OMG why so long? AMD has been more even with Nvidia on the GPU front than it has been with Intel and CPUs. I'm glad to see the robust back-and-forth.
Here's Tom's current (Oct) "Best GPUs for the Money":
Best Card under $110: Radeon 6670 ($60), Radeon 7750 ($95)
Best Card $115-160: Radeon 7770 ($120), GTX 560 SE ($130) [LOL wtf???], GTX 650 Ti ($140)
Best Card $165-210: Radeon 7850 ($170), Radeon 7850 2GB ($180)
Best Card $220-360: Radeon 7870 ($230)
Best High-end Card: GeForce 670 ($360), Radeon 7970 ($390), GTX 690 ($1000) [another LOL, AMD doesn't have a 7990 out yet but vendors are delivering their own 7970 X2's]
A GTX 690 for $1000 or two 7970s for under $800? That's an easy choice.

While we are discussing a game here, I would like to point out there are cases where nvidia can't even TOUCH an AMD card. Take OpenCL computing for example, AMD has a significant lead in that area over nvidia. Of course, since AMD cards can't be used in CUDA applications I can't make that comparison. It's possible nvidia in a CUDA app with AMD in an OpenCL app, they will run on par with one another but there you're comparing apples to oranges most likely. In short, AMD vs Nvidia depends on the intended use IMO. |

As you said, ATI (AMD) in the GPU market is recently competitive. Again, I own a 7850. But AMD has a weak grasp and for whatever reason seem to fall to the ground randomly. Not a company I put a whole lot of continued faith in.
Intel/Nvidia I trust more from a overall reliable product standpoint.
I hope AMD can do better with their CPU's - competition is good for us consumers. |

^ Seems to me you're taking this pretty personally as if I'm attacking your small defensless child.
I will happily delete my comments however. |
