Ernest Hemingway once said;
Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination. No idea what this has to do with what I'm going to talk about, but what you gonna do?
I have always been a Nvidia fan, and always will be. Their technology appeals to me - Physx, APEX, SLI, 3D Vision, among others... - and I strongly feel that they do a good job of getting their tech' into everything they can. Example; The Unreal Engine 3 uses Physx as its physics simulator, where is AMD? They don't have anything on these bad boys (except maybe for Havok and OpenCL...but the less said about that the better). Haha, no, I'm not being a fanboy or anything
What I'm really here to say, is how socked I was when I got a GTX 460. I was amazed at it's performance per £ (or €/$), and the SLI scaling it brought to the table. I actually got two, and was simply astonished with what FPS I got in some of the most demanding games! Yeah, it's getting out of date now, but that was one of the best cards that I have ever had. You just got that genuine performance - as in you felt like you were king; for a reasonable price! I mean, I got mine for less then the price of a GTX 480, for a better price!!
I was disappointed with the lack of Tri-SLI (which would have been
worthy), but I guess that was Nvidia's market stratagy - pull them in...get them craving three cards....make them get our high end versions... - however you can't really blame them....can you?
What has been your favourite card to date? Why? How much did it cost you? How long did you have it? Oh, and it can be from AMD (or Intel... or Matrox) too No 'flamebaiting' for me!
Have a great day peoples,
Sonny.
