[QUOTE=PiXeN;21161881] Though, you have a point for CUDA, but I'd bet it'll be forgotten in less than 5 years.[/QUOTE] Doubt it. Even then 4 years is average lifetime of a gpu, then if you want to, you have to change to a newer one.
[QUOTE=PiXeN;21161881]What don't you understand in "A 5970 is already two cards and a SLi of GTX470 won't give you double performance, but +35% at a maximum "? [/QUOTE] Still more powerful than the 5970, has cuda, and costs the same price
Troll
[QUOTE=Reg;21160376]why, what did you mean[/QUOTE] what i meant by the trolling part, was the whole thread, multi thousand dollar builds hardly ever come true [editline]05:58PM[/editline] not trolling as the graphics cards
[QUOTE=Reg;21164518]Still more powerful than the 5970[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/03/26/nvidia_fermi_gtx_470_480_sli_review/3[/url] Wrong, wrong wrong and wrong. Equals the HD5970, and even does way less sometimes. You have absolutely no idea about what you're talking. Some friend/whatever told you : Nvidia is betterz, because ATi is cheaper. By the way, a HD5970 is €130 cheaper than two GTX470. Considering you only have $500 for now, and you're willingly to lower the price, go for the HD5970. CUDA is just a marketing argument. Oh, yeah, as I stated before, it'll make your rendering 1 minute faster. woow. AND BY THE WAY, as you seem read me : Why two PSUs ? :v: [editline]07:21PM[/editline] My bad, it compares GTX480 SLi with HD5970. Still doesn't changes anything.
get this bundle [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/shops/3XS/bundles?_s_icmp=yH5WRg6u[/url] The last one on the list 980x [editline]06:30PM[/editline] plus one of these [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/shops/bundleoffers?_s_icmp=Uiz6IAu4[/url] and a gpu (5970)

You don't know shit. Hours faster.
Yeah, a cuda renderer can make it twice as fast as with cpu only.

If he needs a CUDA card, stop going all apeshit about ATI cards, and let him have it.
[QUOTE=johanz;21166555]Yeah, a cuda renderer can make it twice as fast as with cpu only.[/QUOTE] Twice? SLG can render 100x faster than LuxRender
[QUOTE=Reg;21166792]Twice? SLG can render 100x faster than LuxRender[/QUOTE] I have NO fucking idea what SLG is, all I know is that Luxrender is a rendering engine that has nothing to do with cuda/opencl, unless it can use gpu and cpu together to render faster.

Still doesn't changes anything.[/QUOTE] What the fuck do you even read. The OP is in the US and a gtx 480 is $200 cheaper. You're not helping by clogging up the thread with "ur dum ATI is fasterrrrr" The OP wants a configuration with two GTX 480's in SLI. Trying to change his mind with annoying price comparisons that aren't even in the same currency is the exact same as trolling. And, from the article, it clearly states in the opening paragraphs that the GTX480's in SLI is way better than a 5970. [QUOTE=FROM THE ARTICLE] Metro 2033 benefited from NVIDIA’s SLI technology as well as AMD’s ATI CrossFireX technology, we saw performance improvements when using dual-GPU configurations. [b]As you can plainly see though, NVIDIA’s solution is vastly superior in performance in this game.[/b] However, this doesn’t mean that the extra performance helped improved the gameplay experience. We found that both GeForce GTX 480 SLI and Radeon HD 5970 were playable at 2560x1600 with the global option of "Very High" enabled. This global video quality setting is the only control you have over the graphics settings. This is also the highest possible graphics setting the game supports. With DX11 Tessellation enabled, the only other option to enabled was Advanced Depth of Field, which was NOT playable on either configuration. On the antialiasing side of things, we did not find 4X MSAA (the only other AA option supported in-game) playable on GeForce GTX 480 SLI at these settings. We had to back the game down to Analytical AA (AAA) which uses an adaptive AA algorithm similar to the Xbox version of the game. While AAA is not as visually good as 4X MSAA, it also doesn’t have the large performance hit 4X MSAA gives in this game. [b]With both configurations were playable at the exact same in-game quality settings, the game looked identical between GTX 480 SLI and HD 5970. Clearly, in this "apples-to-apples" playable settings scenario, GTX 480 SLI is pushing higher performance in this game compared to HD 5970.[/b] [/QUOTE]
Yeah, Ati 5970 is less expensive in Europe but that doesn't mean it's the same all over the world. And for your information, Metro 2033 is a "Nvidia Game", of course it's better on Nividia Card. But that doesn't mean the GTX 480 is better in all performances compared to ATI 5970. And lol at the 2560x1600 resolution part, nobody have a 30" LCD monitor mostly. And what is your article, by the way?

Hotlink better next time. And if it has opencl, why not get ati?
because nvidia is still better at opencl
What, it actually is? Anyway, get a fucking nvidia and be in peace.

[QUOTE=Reg;21142551]Well kinda.. I'd love to have a lower price, but I don't wanna suffer in performance. I really want to have the possibility for all games to run on maximum settings with no lag, that's what I'm trying to achieve. I'd also need processing power for my personal need (3d graphics, mapping, video editing and such)[/QUOTE] I have a $1,000 laptop that can do all that perfectly fine.
Give me a moment I'll build a computer in a moment... probably for around 1000$ less
