I wanna know, ive seen some benchmarks and it seems the hd 5970 only offers like +10 fps, the gtx 295 is also cheaper and i hear the hd 5970 has driver problems
HD 5970, Its like you are playing while you are high. Because you are.
5970 rapes gtx 295.
The GTX295 is DX10, while the 5970 is DX11
Dual 460s would be cheaper than both of those cards and more powerful.

ehh no
If you have a SLI mobo, then i recommend either sli 460's or 470's, however if you only have a single slot then get the 5970.
[QUOTE=Justice;23459485]They aren't [i]that[/i] good.[/QUOTE]
They can beat the 5970 in a few games, and are somewhat cheaper.
[QUOTE=Nexus435;23458807]The GTX295 is DX10, while the [b]5890[/b] is DX11[/QUOTE]
Yeah...
It is. And so is 5970.

This is the best reply IMO.
5970 for single card.
[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;23460033]Yeah...[/QUOTE]
Fixed that lol
Should i get dual gtx 470s or dual hd 5850s, and do all games support crossfire?
Dual GTX 470s, and no.

Actually just get a single 480, multiple GPUs are bad news.

What makes you say that?
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;23461924]What makes you say that?[/QUOTE]
I'm using two 4890s now and honestly I've had nothing but problems.

[QUOTE=Justice;23461962]460s scale quite well, actually.[/QUOTE]
not what I meant
Final question, GTX 480 or HD 5970
5970 if you can afford it. I have them in crossfire. There is some incompatibility but otherwise they are great.
uhh depends
Do you want a really big card that does slightly better in DX10 and 9 or a smaller card that does very well in DX10 and 9, but not as good as the 5970, but quite a bit better at DX11. You also don't need to worry about micro stutter (which really is a big problem) with the GTX 480.
[editline]01:33AM[/editline]
it's really a non-issue, just get whatever you feel like, they both max every game out there with ease
5970 is not the same generation as 295, so you cant compare price-wise..
5970 if its in your budget

I find nothing to argue on this post.Therefore I assume it is true.
But at this minimal level of performance difference you can choose to go with features instead of perfomance levels. The 5970 has working bitstreaming, Eyefinity and has higher overclocking overhead while the 480 has PhysX, CUDA acceleration in some games, 3d vision etc.

the 480 overclocks better
