2900xt on an nvidia chipset.

[infected]

Hey,

I am having trouble deciding on a graphics card atm.I have a P5N-e SLI mobo with the 650i chipset.

I am not going to sli in the future so,would a 2900xt run slower on an nvidia chipset compared to an intel?Or would it make no difference at all?.

cheers

Running an HD 2900XT on an Nvidia chipset wouldn't hurt performance at all.

Ok,thanks.

I was just a bit worried that the nvidia chipset was optimized for nvidia cards,and mabey caused ati cards to run less efficient.

nope, it was a while back that tom's tested that I think, (or was that somewhere else? IDK or care) and I think it was the intel boards that came out on top if I remember rightly

 

[rammedstein]

i second spuddyt and the other poster, makes no difference

No it won't hurt performance but one in a while you will get an error saying "I HATE YOU ATI FANBOY"

im not an ati fanboi at all ,and i have been verry happy with my current 7800gtx but its time to upgrade and the 2900xt has "on paper" far more potential than the 8800gtx ie 320 stream processors 512bit memory interface and what not.. even though its not faster atm but when games are optimized to use stream processors efficiently it has a chance of dominating the gtx for half the price.

but yeh,i dont know what im talking about rly.

On paper, you can look at everything from all angles, make an informed choice based on facts but in reality your just a fanboy that hopes the card you want will be the best, when it never will.

Umm... the X2900XT is beating the GTX in some benchmarks now.
Drivers are going to improve alot in the next 6 months.

Yeah, but the 8800GTX has 4x as many TMUs, 8 more ROPs, and the stream processors are more powerful with a clockspeed 2x as high.
