The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[ajaidev]

Winners and losers:
Fastest GPU - GTX480
Fastest card - 5970
Best performance for 200W - 5870
Best performance for 300W - 5970
Best performance for $350 - GTX470*
*until inevidable price cuts.

My point is that nVidia's only advantage is PRICE. And their costs are much higher. So AMD can easily win here.

Performance is really interesting. At 1680 x 1050 the card flies along with it at times beating out the HD 5870. As we move up the resolution table the picture changes. Even though the card carries with it more memory, we often saw that the performance between the GTX 470 and HD 5850 became quite close at 1920 x 1200 and the HD 5850 often being able to overtake the GTX 470 at 2560 x 1600.

Not bad for a $280 card
