DX10, my man. "STREAM" processing...many different applications.

Now, in r580 vs g80, there is specific functionality missing that prevents a decent comparison, but there are palces where the r580 outshines the g80...and it's definately not in gaming...

But there's the rub. if you have truly homohgeneous code, even then the compare is not accurate...

But the fact of the matter is that once workloads designed for these gpus are put on these gpus, perspectives may change. It's far to early to make any assesment as to who is truly faster...right now nV is...but not becuase thier HARDWARE is faster..it's better drivers.

I'll tell ya right now that those reviews aren't using release drivers for the G80. Those drivers sucked as bad...no...worse..than ATI's current "rel;ease" drivers. If they DID use those release drivers, the performance numbers would be very different.

PLease read my last post, and notice I hazard against a purchase in either direction...I'm not playing favorites, merely stating facts.


Btw...perfect example of r580 beating g80...Folding @ home. That's reality, man.
