Ati Radeon 4870 X2 vs. NVIDIA GTX280 OC - Clash Of The Titans!

Nov 28, 2008 - even if the 4870x2 is currently the king of the hill with graphics processing, it's a dual GPU card (so it's like running two 4870's in CrossfireX). the GTX 280 is the most powerful single GPU card hands down, but it's not much cheaper than the 4870x2 currently.

Nov 29, 2008 - I would like to point out that most games aren't fully optimized for ATI, they normally are for Nvidia however...

Nov 30, 2008 - it would also cost twice as much :)

Nov 30, 2008 - you sir are an idiot

sp4wners Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - 4870 X2 owns :)

Nov 30, 2008 - 280 iz better tho

farter1a2b3c Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - loooooool jk but 280 is awsome

Dec 1, 2008 - you can't compare 2 GPU's with 1 GPU

sp4wners Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - Radeon rulz and owns every card :D :) But 280GTX is the most powerfull card with one core

Dec 1, 2008 - lol gddr5 my tits, no bennifit beyond making the card more costly and saving the card from the bad thermals gained from sticking two chips on a single pcb. even the gtx260 has a higher memory bandwidth than the 4870. marketing ploy gobble gobble

Dec 1, 2008 - X2 cards live or die by their drivers, pluss you could have a 4 way SLI with the 280, which would (in theory) be faster. But the 4870X2 beats the 280 on price-to-performance ratio.

MyFJ Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - Not anymore. Even the 260 Nvidia is faster with new drivers.

ZZAKON Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - DONT BE STUPID! Maybe the ATI has Faster FPS... BUT! Consider the quality of the graphics. UNCOMPARABLE to Nvidia. I prefer to have slower card (and to the eye its not even noticible!) but with perfect graphics and abilities. BE SMART. ATI is only speed. It's like having A DRAGSTER car for DFRIFTING. Enough said!

Dec 2, 2008 - yes

Wodkaholic Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Nvidia is still my choice. Their drivers and video cards are more stable.

Dec 2, 2008 - very very very cool video :)

schwarzesdem Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - of course

schwarzesdem Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - prove it!!!

DAVIDAF12 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - nVidia 200 series will put nvidia on the road...

yur0k Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - I like NVIDIA more. ATI is like an MP3 compression of good CD sound quality. And 4870 X2 is 33% expensive than GTX 280, so why to compare these cards which are in different price categories?

ZZAKON Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Open your eyes

Dec 3, 2008 - your so fucking dumb kid have a sapphire HD3650 512 mb DDR3 and i can run crysis on medium with 80 fps but with my old geforce 9600 i could only get 67 nuff said

alienwareftw Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - true yur0k but for the real hardcore gamer would go for the ati and put out the extra cash.. i did

nicktheseeker Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - Poor ATI they have to stuff 4 GPUs to beat nVidia, pathetic
