I don't really believe thats true. I just can't imagine nvidia making more powerful GPUs than ATI and then selling them cheaper, atleast not that much.
just thought of something else...... where they using dx11? because if not..... then well.... it might not be faster than the HD5800's... they could have just picked a dx that the 5800's had trouble with just to make the card look better..... just saying so we'll see,
if they can do that in dx11 then they have quite a feat pulled off, but the question is when the 5990 comes out would the fermi's still be on top?
Hmmm.... Cheaper 40nm chips? That too when both of 'em are struggling to get higher yields from that manufacturing process?
Seems way fishy!
But hey, I would love to get my grubby little hands on a nice cheap piece of Fermi! Am still hesitant about going the ATI way.
I used to keep up with the graphics card wars, but at this point aren't PC graphics more than "good enough"? I want game designers to start focusing on gameplay and fun, rather than trying to max out hardware with ridiculous polygon counts and texture sizes. I spend more time playing emulated 1980s games on MAME than I do any games made after about 2006.
SK, post a pic of your card along side this one, so we can compare, Please, when you get a chance.
