What graphics card will suffice? - Page 2

Shutup seriously nvidia is meant for JUST gaming amd is for gaming productivy regular use and still comes out beating the gtx series sad

i'll even type this slowly for you:
C - U - D - A


now go play and let the adults talk.

Who cares? It will smash any game at 1080p easily. Forget value, I want the best and I want Nvidia. Not to mention all the small Nvidia benefits too - start with PhysX, that option doesn't exist with AMD, and a whole pile of games optimized for Nvidia, not AMD. And look at your 7970 - it took this long to catch up, pathetic, Day 1 it was a waste, and now, I'd still pick Nvidia.

Adults? I gurantee youre some 12 year old brat that pikes nvidia cuase there in the ps3s  

Holy smokes this got outta hand lol

According to alienbabeltech the performance improvement ratio of geforce 310.33 drivers versus catalyst 12.11 os 3:4 that is 3x by nv 310.33 and 4x by amd 12.11.

Now the relative performance shown by techpowerup uses amd 12.11 drivers but doesn't include nv 310.33 drivers.

So allow me to make some simple mathematical changes here: let's talk on 1080p as its OP's resolution.
The 7950 jumps from (85 to 91)% ie. 6% ie. 4x or 3x = (6*3/4) = 4.5% therefore the 660 ti at 89% should now be able to deliver 93.5%.Hence beating the 7950 once again.
Next the 7970 jumps to 107% from 100% a 7% ie. 4x or 3x = (7*3/4) = 5% therefore the 670 at 104% should now be able to deliver 109%.Once again beating the 7970.
Lastly the 7970 ghz jumps to 117% from 109% an 8% ie. 4x or 3x = (8*3/4) = 6% therefore the 680 at 112% should now be able to deliver 118%.Slightly pulling ahead or on par with the 7970 ghz edition.
Hence the final approximate(+/- 1%) standings are:
GTX 680 = 118%
HD 7970 Ghz =117%
GTX 670 = 109%
HD 7970= 107%
GTX 660 Ti = 93.5%
HD 7950 = 91%

Thank You.  

 

I'm sorry bud but you must have issues comprehending English.



Those in the thread had already advocated nVIDIA and supposed driver superiority. I opted to play Devil's Advocate. Which means you argue the other side of the coin for arguments sake.

Your post is redundant.

C-U-D-A?

Being replaced by OpenCL and DirectCompute. Many apps (including Cyberlink's lineup) are now moving towards OpenCL rather than CUDA.

OpenCL is the industry standard. Your argument may have applied 1.5 - 3 years ago.

This is actually quite the disingenuous post.

Your link shows a 7970 GHz vs. a GTX 680 both with the newer drivers with the 7970GHz winning overall. You then add an approximate performance boost, pull up a totally unrelated benchmark from an unrelated website and apply the percentage difference to their results.

Don't you see something wrong with that? The original post showed:

whoa witty reply . . .

who cannot comprehend? which leads to:
C-U-D-A?



please see post that was replied to. but how many apps are taken advantage of openCL or DC. far less than cuda ATM and unless you have a crystal ball predicting the future in the tech world is ludicrous.

put your superman cape away, it has a few holes in it.

I am the Devil.

And I don't want either of you morons representing me.

 

If both the sites talk about relative performance and relative boost,its not wrong to co-relate them.Proportionally or percentage wise it has to be correct unless you believe one of the websites are showing fabricated outputs.

HEY!

i resemble that remark!
