Hardware GPU

thats why im getting 4890's not 4870's

22

the C216 and 275 are still better then it. lol

23

24

That is bullshiiiittt... Every other review, the c216 beats 4870..

25

Crysis

WHO THE FUCK PLAYS IT ANYWAY

source: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ATI/HD_4890_CrossFire/1.html

at low graphics (such as no AA and at 1024 x 768) the 200 series tops the ATI cards, once some AA is put on and the screen rez goes up the crossfire 4890's top the 295 by a few fps.

27

go look at the website, they have like 10 different games they tested, CoD4... farcry2.. most of them have the same results.

28

So if you SLI the C216 and overclock it a bit it will be on the top of that list. Or you could OC a single 295 and perform better then the 2 4890's

29

yea, and then you could overclock both of the 4890's and then they would beat the 295, and didnt you start out by saying the 275 was better?

would you prefer 3dmark06 results?

30

lol agreed. I've always thought of it as a playable benchmark

31

i have played it, its sorta fun... mainly just to mess around in.... and yes, it does make a good bench mark.

32

GTX 295

33

ok, for all of you who have not read my other forum topic... I HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED MY GRAPHIC CARD!!!
im going to have 2 4890's in crossfire. no need to continue posting unless any nvidia fan boys want to try to tell me how there cards are superior even though the ati equivalent matches it performance wise and is also cheaper....

34

just wait for the dx11 cards they should be out around windows 7 dont spend your money yet pointless just to be outdated again

35

4890s a good card, but it isnt any cheaper than the gtx 275 at the moment.

36

yea, but 2 4890s can out perform the 295, and there about $100 cheaper...

37

did u like already have a crossfire board or something?

38

yea.

39

id go for the 295, even though its a bit more it seems to scale nicely with higher resolution. and it does very very nice with filters.

40

actualy the 4890 does do better with higher resolutions, the only time the 295 cant out perform the 4890's (in CF) is thwn both are set to 1024x768 with no anascopic filtering and no AA
