Like I said, however, things like power consumption and temperatures are very important when it comes to overclocking. I can tell you right now that the 5870 is much more overclockable than the 480. If you're a rich bastard, odds are you don't need to overclock anyway. I just can't see a smart person on certain budget buying a GTX480 over a 5870. It's just not as practical.

Actually, the 480 is able to overclock more in proportion to the 5870.
And I do overclock, by the way. I (most likely) have the highest stable, everyday use overclock on a Q9400.
That doesn't make any sense. The temperatures and power consumption would be way too high, you'd get farther with the 5870's relatively low temps and power consumption.

You're still not getting it.
temps and power consumption doesn't matter a whole lot at all

Especially because power consumption isn't going to limit you anyway.

you seem to not understand. I recommend you read his post again, and maybe you will understand. Perhaps you should actually do some research on your part, you might learn something!

ofc it will get hot if you leave the fan on auto
everything does

Not needed.
I personally use an Overclocked 470 and I can attest to the fact that they get toasty, 85 load when I used stock TIM, but putting AS5 dropped load temps to around 77 load, and as far as performance goes this thing blows the lid off of Metro 2033 max settings at 1920x1080 AND that's with my shitty CPU bottle-necking it.

I'll just leave this here, so everyone who visits this thread can see it.
Yeah, that's fucking high.
Also, wow, thread spike. Kind of sad how many people actually think the GTX480 is better, but whatever. Like I said earlier, I knew I should have ended this back then because there's just no getting through to any of you people.
[QUOTE=SA Spyder;21907274]Yeah, that's fucking high.[/QUOTE]
GF100 gpu is rated to 105 Celsius, yeah its hot but if it can handle it why make it an issue? I personally think that its not a problem so long as you don't live in death valley.

Yeah you should see the GTX 4XX thread.
For DX11 games GF100 is blatantly better than the current ATI gpu, other applications however the ATI gpu's perform better. Its a matter of benchmarks, if the OP isn't going to play DX11 games any time soon hes better off with an ATI GPU.

More or less this.

it is high if you're dumb, so..
edit:
You come up with a shitty post, I come up with a shitty insult. Fair enough?
[QUOTE=GiGaBiTe;21901969][b]What? I don't know what benchmarks you've been reading but the 470/480 performance is barely able to match a 5850/5870.[/b]
They also idle at 90C and chew up double or triple the power of an equivalent ATI card. Nvidia cards have never been good with performance per watt and have always basically been furnaces and power hogs.[/QUOTE]
Makes me wonder about the same question about you too.

Apparently he doesn't know that the bigger bars are better in those fancy FPS charts.
I'm trying to recall a post by spider that didn't make him look like a troll or some 12 year old who's either too dense to accept anything can differ from what he thinks
I'm not succeeding

Hurr durr, I have an opinion, therefore I must be a troll.
can you check out the second part of his post

The only thing that the 470/480 beats the ATI cards soundly in is tessellation, everything else is generally the same or worse, with a few categories maybe 5% better.

Read more carefully. It was an insult, not a compliment.
1.7% and woodscrews because that hasn't been posted in a while

no shit
Looking at benchmarks, 5570 in crossfire is just behind one 5750 in performance.

It's not only tessellation, it's DX11 in general from the numerous benchmarks I have seen.
Looks like SA spider is just another die hard fanboy that can't seem to argue.

If wanting a GPU that runs cooler and quieter while drawing less energy over another that heats up like an oven, makes noises like a wind tunnel, draws way too much energy for the performance given, and only gives not even 10% more performance for irrelevant, non-mainstream appliances makes me a fanboy, then count me in.
