ok guys enough trolling let's talk abut something useful , leave the fist tests and fake images we are TPU members and we can guess the performance just only from gpu-z read
1- just like GT200 series , we find GTX260 a bit better than 4870 and same thing about GTX295 and 4870x2 2- now maybe there is some different now cuz ATi still with 256bit but they increase the ROP's and texture unit's , NVIDIA put GDDR5 3- so ATI win in core speed and NVIDIA win in 384bit 4- so for me i think old story back again nvidia have a bit better performance but with overclocking booth ATI and NVIDIA cards i think nvdia clearly look better 5- still most important thing which is the "PRICE" and PPD "performance per dollar" 6- other important thing is there is games worth to get high end of DX11 card's thanx for reading this guys so this is my opinion guys and i like to hear yours , let's make a useful Discussion

GTX380 will be 700-800$ and GTX360 will be 450-550$. If Nvidia keeps there pricing trend.

![]() I like my PHII 1V 3ghz M-ATX, low power, high performance. High performance can still be found with rather low powerconsumtion, the atom may be cheap, but it's not good at all when you talk about p/w. |

But, although the specs show what should be something new, let's not forget that both camps are notorious for releasing specs that would show new architecture, but once they near release, it turns out to just be a re-hash of existing hardware. Personally, I can't draw solid conclusions either way . . . not until this series is actually on the doorstep, so-to-speak.

See that might be funny if NVIDIA had never really made a powerful GPU before...
just like INTEL haven't been able to yet. Something more relevant might have been "A DX11 GPU..." or maybe am amusing quip about re-branding cards. HA HA. |

You don't need a dedicated GPU for that. An IGP will do just fine. Hell my IGP plays L4D2 at decent settings. Again idle power consumption isn't important unless you are talking about volume. Example: 50 computers in one building on the same bill. Thats when idle consumption adds up.

1920 x 1200 ?
About 2% of pc gamers have a monitor larger than that. |

I like to read criticism and hard facts , suspicions , and "question everything" , going down to hard facts ;; not reading some adver-articles like you see on the mainstream "news". Not saying anything about TPU or other good pc sites in particular , but 3Dguru (ign, gametrailers...) always bring up some definitive stuff that only they know truly 100% about , like this screenshots, which aren't looking real , in some 4 sites i seen coments about being fake. |

![]() Either way, I'm defi interested to see how these cards will perform. It's looking like the intense FPS battle between the two camps will continue for another series.

I know not everybody wants to upgrade to the latest and greatest for a few FPS increase. I totally understand but coming from a bencher/OCer point of view an extra 1000 3dmarks never really hurt. (I dont really game much anymore) Best of both worlds imo. ![]() Quote:

Both companies have pulled hardware out that has looked brand new, per the white sheets, but has actually turned out to be a simple re-hash of existing hardware. Last instance was ATI between the 3000 and 4000 series. I defi agree the GTX 300 series is new, especially considering the delay in release, but I'd like to see teh full reviews from trustworthy sites before I swear to that statment. ![]() Quote:
