Madvillain February 1, 2012 Share Madvillain Member February 1, 2012 (edited) My GTX285 from XFX is still working, too bad I wanted that Nvidia card XFX only seems to be on the AMD side of things. Edited February 1, 2012 by Madvillain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValenAlvern February 5, 2012 Share ValenAlvern Member February 5, 2012 Switches between ATI and Nvidia depending on which card gives the best value/$ Do AMD cards cost less because they're slightly behind (comapred to nVidia) while nVidia keeps pushing out better video cards thus costing more to get them?

Preacher February 5, 2012 Share Preacher Member February 5, 2012 (edited) No, applications run better on one or the other but, TBH the improvement of one over the other isn't even noticible except in 3dmark scores and the like. I'm not really a fanboy of one over the other. My current card is a 6870 x2 but prior to that I had a GTX260 and before that I was with ATI. Just look at the cost. Find the two cards that are the closest match up and buy the cheapest. Just make sure to get a lifetime warranty brand like EVGA or Visiontek (XFX and a few other do as well) because I've had both ATI and NVIDIA cards crap out after short periods.

samurai nightling February 5, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member February 5, 2012 Still rocking the GTX260. With my system setup though, the only thing I'll have to upgrade prolly is the video card for another couple years of good gaming. I feel as though my Q9550 and 8gb DDR2 1066 still kill games.

JackieChan February 5, 2012 Share JackieChan GC Alumni February 5, 2012 I remember having a nvidia card...died on me after a year. Think it was that 9800GT series which was pretty top of the line years ago. Bought an ATI HD4800 card from Magruter sometime in 2009 and hasn't failed me since. I still have an old ATI Radeon X800Pro that still works after having it for probably more than 6 years...although I use that as a backup in case something happens to my current card, I can just pop that in and it works.

Barashin February 25, 2012 Share Barashin Member February 25, 2012 This is probably way to late, but I have the eVGA 470 gtx. I wouldn't recommend it. It runs hotter than the sun, so I use MSI Afterburner to up my fan speed. Now it sounds like a plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
