im not saying this becuase im a fanboy, but its true. X1900XTX does kick as$. ATI just makes teh same core, and nvidia has all these other video cards that are almost fast or alittle faster, but there making newer cores and ATI is laying back and making the same cores that are fastownage said:and comparing apples to oranges The CF edition is clocked SLOWER than the XTX, did you know that? And memory speed isnt everything.
I cant wait. I saw the review on the X1950XT alreadyalvino said:Yeah, well the CrossFire Edition is basically the X1900 XT with the composite engine and the plug for the external dongle.
Oh and a little note for all of you guys, the 7950 GX2 isn't necessarily the BEST card. Like Ownage said, it's comparing apples to oranges. The 7950 GX2 is the fastest single card/multiple chip solution in the market, but the X1900 XTX is the fastest single chip solution in the market. There's a difference.
Heh, but when September 14th rolls around, ATI will be the King once again. Two X1950's in CrossFire can oust out two 7950 GX2's in Quad SLI.

You asked me throw out a spec where a similar nVidia beats a similar ATI, and I did. Thanks for the refresh courses though.
Chainer said:Well....we'll compare 512MB Video cards for example...
NVIDIA (Spelled right, JUST FOR YOU!!) 7900 GTX 512MD DDR3 PCI-E
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Memory Clock Speed - 1.63 GHZ
ATI x1900 512MB PCI-E - Crossfire Edition
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Memory Clock Speed - 1.45 GHZ
Otherwise, basically the same card. So yes, NVIDIA (Spelled it right again! BOO-YAH!) rocks all socks in my books. No fanboy bias here....sorry....just want the BEST product.
alvino said:Haha, more like denying it. I never said you were a fanboy, but your reasons as to why NVIDIA is oh-so much better is erroneous. If you knew that stuff, then why did you post it in the first place, hmm? No need to deny you didn't know. We all learn stuff at one point or another in our lives.
Here, I quoted so you can't change your original post and go on a denialfest.
ownage said:i called you a fanboy because you had an opinion supported by little to no facts. you had nothing to back up your statement. Now, let me ask again, why is Nvidia better than ATi?
Chainer said:I'm not denying anything. I know my stuff. But yes, you insinuated that I was a 'bias fanboy,' which is by far VERY WRONG.
Also, it's all opinion based. Why should each and every person have to explain why they like ANYTHING let alone a graphics card. 'I like Charmin toilet paper, BECASE it leaves my cheeks unchapped!'
If a person likes something, don't question it. It's just an opinion.
Elaborating, NEXT TIME, on what you want (specs) wouldn't hurt the situation either. Thanks.
