your choice, but NV has yet to provide a Tangible part which is putting them behind the release curve. Also waiting for Nvidia means waiting for an equivalent DX11 part.

The current information were getting on the web contradicts that , that's why.

It's certainly not good news to be relying on.

Buying a HD5850 or higher would save you pretty much some costs over a whole year in just idle mode compared to a 4850/4890 card.

I'm sticking with a HD3870 512MB but in some games its not too powerfull enough anymore for 1920x1080 resolutions and above. Edit: I'd buy a 5850.

I'm waiting for the Nvidia release, so that I can catch one used from all the people who bought ATi just to hold over for GT300.

I disagree with that statement. I think because of the rescission and the fact that you could buy two or three 4870's/4890's last gen for the same price you could buy a GTX 295 or GTX 285. I think people are finally realizing that. Those 2 or 3 4870's or 4890's would beat any GTX 295 or GTX285 Why spend more money to get less performance?
I think it will be same way with this Generation. Not that there is anything wrong with Nvidia..... It's just that people are watching their money more.

Nope...def NVIDIA. mind you I'm looking for a High end DX11 and none of that business orientated BS.

Soylent Joe · 11-08-2009, 01:20 AM

I'll probably blow my wad on a 5870 in about a year when they come down in price and my 4870 can no longer handle new games @ 1920x1080 w/AA, that is, Nvidia doesn't release anything that blows my socks off.

CHAOS_KILLA · 11-08-2009, 03:47 AM

Nvidia SUX!!! nah im just kidding l luv nvidia, but hurry nvidia and release some beastly cards so i can get one!

I love ATI ... That's what I started building with. But I did go to Nvidia there for awhile and was going to even stay with Nvidia too because I didn't want to have to switch drivers or do a clean install. But I got tired of waiting and getting no real evidence that what I was even waiting for was going to be worth it.
So I went back to my personal preference of ATI. I got me a beautiful Diamond HD5870. And if in the future Nvidia comes out with a Nasty card well hey I'm sure ATI will just drop they're prices again. Then I'll just X-fire them up and still whoop it.
So I say just go ATI now why wait and maybe get a better card that will be $300 hundred dollars more for 10% better.

HD4850 and E5200 are still doing the job wright. Waiting for NV to enter the battlefield and bring the prices down. Even do saying "NVIDIA bringing prices down" - does feel weird
