ATi Radeon 67XX - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=Bomimo;25128028]Nvidia centric games? haha oh wow. Physx is as Nvidia centric as it gets lol. nothing to do with rendering? [editline]02:09PM[/editline] Hmm. might need me one of these cards.[/QUOTE] It does have to do with rendering, some games run faster on NVIDIA while some run faster on AMD/ATI cards. For example, Games that run better on NVIDIA: Far Cry 2 and Metro 2033. Games that run better on AMD/ATI: DiRT 2 and Anno 1404. Games that run with equivalent performance regardless of brand: Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2.

Looks like they've really beefed up the 6700 cards in comparison to the 5700, it's probably an answer to gtx460 and gts450. The 6800 probably won't see that big of an improvement. I'll still wait for the next generation though, i hope they bring it out sometime around the next summer. It's going to be awesome if they move to 28nm.

It's inavoidable that some games run better on one over the other, Money changing hands or no. I wouldn't call that *brand* centric. [editline]07:01PM[/editline] [QUOTE=pikzen;25128228]Wow. You really know nothing, uh ? :eng99:[/QUOTE] About differing performance in differen't games for differen't GPU architectures? yeah, i did. but it kinda sounded like those stupid conspiracy theories. I kinda assumed the part where it's directly *brand* centric implied money changed hands.

[QUOTE=xboomguy;25127895]Eh, fanboy much? CrossFire scales as well as SLI. The review from TechSpot you pointed only benchmarked NVIDIA-centric games. Plus, they used Catalyst 10.6 for ATI which is real shitty compared to Catalyst 10.9a + 10.9 Catalyst App Profiles. PS: I'm getting another HD 5770 soon. I loved my previous HD 4770 CrossFire setup.[/QUOTE] no it really doesn't [editline]01:32PM[/editline] [QUOTE=pikzen;25128228]Wow.

If this is true then I want to know what the 68XX cards will be like.[/QUOTE] 6770 is better than the 5870

[QUOTE=Odellus;25132554]:words:[/QUOTE] You could sound less of an asshole if you really tried But we can't really see if the 6770 does equal a 5870, or does better or worse till we start to get some benchmarks and actual reviews here. These are leaked spec sheets. And we all know with ATi, specs aren't performance.

Well then i can buy another sapphire HD 5770 and put em in crossfire. Is there more to consider such as ram and or CPU? cos i gonna buy me an AMD Bulldozer when it's out.

[QUOTE=garrynohome;25136570]Are you kidding? Metro 2033, bad company 2 to name a few are ati-centric games. [/QUOTE] ENOUGHT WITH THE CENTRIC! It may have a soft spot for one architecture than the other. But the only one of those two that actually COULD be ATI centric would be Metro since they were the only ones offering DX11 hardware back when the game released. Dirt 2 is ATI centric. There's ATI liveries, ATI logos and AMD posters everywhere. To be fair, there's a single Intel one to be found. Centric= purposely disregarding other vendors/architectures. only titles i know did that would be Dirt 2 and the 5 games that had heavy Physx and gimped shit when you weren't in possession of anything NVIDIA.

[QUOTE=zombojoe;25125562]Are there any actual games that challenge today's top cards?[/QUOTE] GTA IV, but that's just because it's the most half assed port since SR2. Metro 2033 on highest settings.
