HellsMaster Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 The nvidia gtx 460 cost around 130 pound: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/50221/Gainward-GeForce--GTX-460-SE-1024MB-GDDR5 http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/50191/Zotac-GeForce-GTX-460-SE-1GB-GDDR5-PCI-E-2-0 While the ATI 5770 cost around 110 pounds:http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/42625/Gigabyte-ATi-Radeon-HD-5770-1GB-GDDR5-PCI-E Looks like the ATI is a bit better then the nvidia but unfortunatly its ATI and lacks the 3D and all the nvidia bonuses.. so i ask which one?

AllanOcelot Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 using a 5570 myself, and let me tell you, im still impressed everytime I pop in a new game and can play it at full specs. I would not worry about the 3d, its not a big feature your missing out on in my books. Biggest selling point of the 5570? crossfire baby.... im getting a second one some point this summer, just for the fact I can....ATI are even kind enough to give me a free cable in the box for it aha.....

Illiad86 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Nvidia bonuses? Did they add something special lately to the drivers? I personally have the 5770 and am quite impressed for how well it runs my games for the price it was at the time ($140USD). Ran Crysis SP Demo quite well..solid 30FPS lol :P I can play every game I own at 1920x1200 with 4xAA and 16xAF without a hiccup ;) But the most graphics intensive game I have is Oblivion (with QTPIII and high res texture replacements for other things). Get some killer FPS outdoors now though...still it's occasional tree pop bullcrap, but I get anywhere from 50-120FPS outdoors depending on where you are...ya know how Oblivion runs :P Prolly helps a ton that I have a 4GHz quad core, but I saw quite an improvement in performance from my 7950GT :) Edited February 11, 2011 by Illiad86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellsMaster Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 aree you kidding? crysis at 30 fps? thats lame.and yes nvidia got dedicated cuda processors an physx processors, i can make my cpu work the physics while my graphic card render the game. I had 60 fps on crysis 1080p meduim range with my crappy graphic card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illiad86 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Haha...well if I dropped the resolution to 1920x1080...it would probably run better, but it ran 30-60FPS...averaged about 30, didn't hiccup much. Everything was set on the highest it can go for DX9, all high on the rest of the settings (sound, volumetric, all that jazz) But Crysis...*sigh* Meh...I swear it ran better on my Nvidia card now that I think about it...but it's just the old demo and games will run better on one card better than another. All I care about is that it runs the games I like to play at max settings :) Edited February 11, 2011 by Illiad86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellsMaster Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 my only experince with ATI was 2 4550, i remember the quality of oblvion nice, but the gameplay rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illiad86 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Haha, yeah. It really doesn't mean anything if you don't play those actual games. All games run differently and also depend on your CPU, RAM, etc. They are both good cards, both reasonably priced, whatever one you wanna pick out, go ahead :). They are both about the same speed anyways :P I was actually considering the GTX 260 over this card...but this one was far cheaper at the time and the minor differences didn't really matter to me...I wanted to try ATI out anyways ;) Edited February 11, 2011 by Illiad86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_frost_ Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) The 5770 is still a good choice if you don't want to spend too much for a gpu. _frost_ Edited February 11, 2011 by _frost_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
