wow
anyone get the hint of bias??? i mean cmon im seeing alot of nvidia cards and what 2 ati???
3870s in crossfire is superior to 9600gts in sli
on the 3dmark ORB site the 9600gt max is 20513
the 3870s around 25000-29000
i dont mind the other results...but that one kinda ticked me off
and im talking pci-e agp doesnt really matter imo
And the 3870s in Crossfire is more expensive in Crossfire.
I think the article need more proofing.
He was not clear in his statements.
In the article, he said that the 3870s in SLI do offer unmatched performance in the $360 price point.
But since it's under the heading of the $300 Card, that get's interpreted at the 9600s.
However, it can't be the 9600s since they would be $300 SLI'd.
When reading the article, don't just line up "Winners" for different price points.
The article is not meant to really declare winners.
It's useful for people shopping at price points.
They then read the comments about cards in that price point.
Then they shop for deals.
They usually note for a few more you could do this or that.
Unfortuntely, there is alot to be subjective about in the article, but it's not a intense review.
Its guidelines.
