No it's just that you can't write coherently.
[QUOTE=Blackcomb;20612278]Maybe if you weren't as nearsighted as a fly you'd realize you can simply move a couple of sliders in CCC and you have yourself a GTX 285. GTX 275s are $250 or more by the way, good job being a fucking retard once again.[/QUOTE]
Yeah if you slide the image quality all the way down to the bottom it will perform reaaaallly weell.

You're dumb, you can overclock through the ATI control panel.
[QUOTE=sbradford26;20603745]The gtx 260 is the same as a 9800gtx+. Save up enough money for a 5870 and then that will be an upgrade.[/QUOTE]
Fix'd :devil:

The 5850 can be overclocked to 5870 speeds. So yes the 5850 is an upgrade.

The 5770 can be overclocked to 5850 speeds. The 5850 can be overclocked to 5870 speeds. The 5870 can overclock to a decent amount faster than the 5870.
See where I'm getting here?

So you say the 5870 is a waste of money. Correct.
[QUOTE=sbradford26;20617643]So you say the 5870 is a waste of money. Correct.[/QUOTE]
Not really, you can get just as much out of a 5870 overclock as you can a 5850.
[QUOTE=anikilol;20617712]Not really, you can get just as much out of a 5870 overclock as you can a 5850.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I mean if you have money to waste go for it.
From the perspective that both 5850 and 5870 will become obsolete at the same time, yes.
Wait for the gtx4XX set to come out on the 26th(?). Prices will shift and you can make your selection easier.
Also, The gtx3XX series are simply re-branded 9 and 200 series cards for OEMs, and probably wont be available to the public anyway. (OEMs do this to fool the public into thinking that they are getting a brand spanking new chip)
[QUOTE=sbradford26;20617852]Yeah I mean if you have money to waste go for it.[/QUOTE]
That's like saying no one should get a 4870, and instead get a 4850, because the 4850 will overclock to 4870 speeds, and will be obsolete at the same time.
5850's can be Oc'd to 5870 levels yes, but you can overclock the 5870 too!
See what I did there?

Why you need anything more powerful than a 5870 anyway?

The 5850 has a lot of overclocking while the 5870 does not Even when the 5870 is overclocked there isn't much of a performance boost.

[QUOTE=anikilol;20618304]That's what I'm trying to say[/QUOTE]
you can't overclock the 5870 as much as the 5850 because the 5870 is already running at the max voltage for the 5 series gpu
people are fucking dumb
it doesn't matter how much the 5870 overclocks over the 5850 because even then the price difference isn't worth it
I said this one day fucking one and had someone tell me "but 5 FPS is a lot!", who the fuck wants to pay an extra 50% for that much?
everyone who's recently joined this section seems to have no fucking clue about what's actually worth the cash. I'm tired of people recommending $150 cards that will give someone a 5-10 FPS boost. this section has turned to shit
[QUOTE=reapaninja;20620884]people are fucking dumb[/QUOTE]
This is true for absolutely anything, though, not just this section.

[QUOTE=reapaninja;20603738]you're going to see very little difference, it's not worth upgrading[/QUOTE]
I have a 9800GTX+ and I am very glad to hear that.

The above statement is not a lie... Tis true...

Bisch broke my automerge, Also, thank you. I feel honored to do such a thing.
get xfx black edition and overclock it's core to 700 and the other two accordingly. then sit and laugh insanely hard and point fingers at idiots who went and paid for a 275/280/285... that's what i did.
