4870 1 GIG VS 260 GTX 216 both Overclocked

Both cards are overclocked, again the 260 GTX comes out on top, with min frame rates sometimes doubling that of the ATI card...whats happening here?

I can only say: wtf?

I think the X58 hotfix may have something to do in this.


Also, Crysis: Warhead brought both cards to their knees

I forgot: Seems Ati doesn't do too well in zero-g enviroments, look at dead space.

But i don't think they can overcome such differences as we've seen here with a general driver update, they'll need to perform some serious engine tweakings in CoD:WaW and Dead Space to reach the levels the 260 was dwelling into.

I can't say I'm not impressed by the 260 performance levels, but I think this should be confirmed by other sources.

And such an arcticle being releases just in time for black friday....

Dead space is new, and maybe underlooked, or maybe hasnt been tweaked, and even if tweaked may still play better on nVidia. Its not as if nVidia lost in every game here, and that was never the case, it was on most games they were edged out, comparing a G260 and a 4870. Since then nVidia released the 216 which more or less has caught the 4870, and put it a lil ahead, but not by much, and then add new drivers aimed solely at performance, I see this as happening as possible, and expect ATI to respond

dead space is the best game on the market at the moment, would advise anyone thats not tried it give it a try

dead space doesn't take alot to work properly, yes there is a limit on it. Maxes out at 63 for me both on my laptop and PC.

Apperently Dead Space is like the GRID for Nvidia.

Its a good game, but I don't really like 3rd person shooters. But I might finish it.
