I love reading all the comments in a thread like this....

"Oh this is going to destroy the 5970!" and "AMD better run" :laugh:

I sure as hell hope a duel GPU offering thats a YEAR newer can beat the 5970. Also if the 580 is any indicator of where Nvidia is going then you better get ready to have your bubble burst.

Personally I am waitting this gen. out unless a 6970 is faster then two 5870s Ill call fail. The 580 was let down enough.

Let down or not, the fact is at this very moment the GTX 580 is still the fastest single-GPU card out there, like it or lump it, prove me otherwise. As I'm pretty sure I have also mentioned, SLI has always scaled better too than ATI/AMD's Crossfire. This is all I care about. I want links of reviews to prove me otherwise, please no more speculation, the title is "NVIDIA Readying Dual-GF110 Graphics Accelerator, Eying Total Performance Leadership".

yes nvidia's highest end card that paper launched 2 weeks ago is currently the fastest single gpu card, it would be a fuckin shame if it wasn't:confused: and SLI has always scaled better than crossfire, . . . . o . . . k . . .

hold back on calling people noobs

I'm also thinking the 6970 will have similar performance to the to the 580 because we know its in the area based on everything we have seen, and by Nvidia releasing their card first it gave AMD the chance to see if they needed to boost clocks or not to compete.

going back in ATI vs Nvidia, its usually been Nvidia dominating ATI since the X1900XTX but now Nvidia has some real competition and competition = lower prices for us.

Acording to this, crossfire is on the same level or better than sli in terms of scaling.

It depends on what cards are being used and what software/games are being ran (and drivers). Generally it's been said that SLI scales better.

This is too easy...

Can I quote you? "I want links of reviews to prove me otherwise"
One GTX 580 is 77% performance of an sli set up.

One HD 6870 is 73% performance of crossfire set up.

One HD 6850 is 69% performance of a crossfire set up.


So the 6 series scale better than the GTX 580.

As i'm an adult i wont resort to saying "STFU n00b", instead i'll say, read some reviews about what you're talking about before you troll.

High end scaling generally encounters some problems with bottleneck elsewhere.

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ATI/Radeon_HD_6870_CrossFire/23.html
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_580_SLI/24.html

If you look at the 2560X1600 segment (where graphics is the main suspect for bottleneck, vram or not) the picture becomes less rosy.

Edit: look at mid end graphics card SLi

I think this is a good argument for why modular performance charts are so great. It'd be very useful if I could just check off all the games I play on a list, on the res I play at, and then see relative performance for that selection. What's most relevant to that person. The whole Sli/xfire scaling thing is different depending on the website because naturally they're not all using the same game selection. Hell I remember seeing a game where xfire scaled 101% It really not a definitive for everyone type of thing.

The GTX580 just came out, so I would say allot more scaling will come from drivers.

The GTX 580 is the fastest single-GPU card till Dec 22nd and it cant even beat a card (HD5970) that's almost an year older. And no SLI hasn't always scaled better. (look at the54thvoid's post)

This card is going to be powerful, i agree. But I'm not sure it will beat the HD6990.

The GTX 580 mingles with the 5970, and really that's all you can ask for when using the same architecture.

And lower end cards tend to scale better, im not surprised something like the 6800 series would scale better, but generally it's been SLI that has been known for better scaling, but of course as i said before, there are a lot of factors that determine that, GPU architecture, drivers, software/games being ran, resolution etc.

LOL you use the data from the max. resolution only against the data that represents all resolutions :roll::roll::roll:

Over in guru3d DiRT2, Far Cry 2 and Crysis Warhead at lower resolutions shows the 2-way SLI of the 580 slightly ahead of 3-way, but if I were to follow your reasoning Benetanegia that's inconsequential because apparently only max resolution matters and not the data for ALL resolutions...:roll::roll::roll:

*Sigh* Go figure, takes a dual-GPU card to compete with NVIDIA's single-GPU ones at this very moment, the dual NVIDIA is gonna be win.



"Release timing for the 6970 isn't certain and may be in flux. One leak has claimed that chip yield problems at AMD's manufacturing partner, TSMC, have prevented the new Radeon from shipping for an intended end of November release. With less than 10 percent of 6970 chips at an acceptable quality, AMD can't make enough stock, TechEye said. The slip may push the faster 6000-series card into early 2011 and leave just the Radeon HD 6870 as the most recent graphics component."

Sorry for the hypocritical speculation but we are still waiting.

You entirely missed the point. It wasn't about performance but scaling. Let me lol. :laugh:

There. Done. Let me "*sigh*" as well.

It's usually the other way around in Nvidia threads, i'm actually surprised we got to over three pages without consistent trolling that usually manifests itself in these threads.

I think the 6970 will beat the 580 by a fair amount, because as i said, the 580 is still building off the same structure, while AMD is working from the ground up. And that doesn't mean it will definitely be better, but it gives them a very high chance of toppling Nvidia on that front.

and theres also a high chance that the 6970 will fail. remember the 2900 when ati tried a bit to hard?

As i'm an adult i wont resort to saying "STFU n00b", instead i'll say, read some reviews about what you're talking about before you troll.


lol

Given the right circumstances both camps have proven they can scale between 80-100% this is a moot argument.

one site's review is not an all-indicative factore of scaling performance, especially given t
he massive variety of games tested, some being AMD friendly, some NV, and some scaling badly for both.

generally, over the populous of polular (mostly MP) games, Nvidia tend to have better scaling, given you need and insanely powerfull base system to feed GPU's like 2x GF110 and 4xCypress.

and theres also a high chance that the 6970 will fail. remember the 2900 when ati tried a bit to hard?

How does the 2900 link to today's manufacturing?, inevitably each company will hit or miss with a series eventually, sometimes you don't get what you hoped. Look at Fermi, it was a failure efficiency wise but you rework it for the greater good.

The 6900's have a higher chances of being better then the 580 due to the new design, they have an early look at Nvidias cards already and if they focus and design the card to really be monstrous, then i think inevitably the 6900's will come out on top.

I'm probably one of the few people that don't actually think the 580's are supposed to compete against the 6900's. I think if it was we would be seeing a much different card, the 580 was a refresh righting the wrongs of the 480 and adding a good 10%-12% or so increase performance wise, that is all.

I agree but i think the performance increase caused by increased clocks and all 512 cuda cores enabled really would have been where the 480 would have been if it could have been made right from the start but this whole thing was not really Nvidia's fault, it was down to he 40nm process issues.

But it makes me wonder if the 480 was as it should have been (the 580) what would nvidia be doing now, if its single chip card beat ATI's dual chip card from when it should have been released (around the 58xx launch) would nvidia be releasing the 5xx cards this year? would they have even released anything other than a dual chip card before the transition to 28nm?

I really hope the 6970 beats the 580 as if everything had worked out then AMD would be trying to catch up to the year old 480 with the power of the 580, unfortunately however it turns out i will probably have to buy a 6970 to get back to using a single card/chip and then just keep hoping that nvidia will support triple monitor setups on a single card/chip for the 680 so it can be an option for me.

Well done Ben. But you entirely miss the point here.

The arguement wasn't about who generally scales better. What Sabrewulf explicitly said was:

SLI has always scaled better too than ATI/AMD's Crossfire

So i gave the link (pics) as requested:

I want links of reviews to prove me otherwise

My link proves otherwise. Yes, of course Nvidia cards scale better on the whole but the post was short sighted enough to say NV ALWAYS scales better which is no longer true as the 6 series is making headway.

You dont always have to defend NV from me. I'm 90% on way to buying a new card and it's more than likely going to be NV (unless HD 6970 is surprisingly good). But to defend a post that is in fact wrong by using irrelevant info doesn't help.

Your post didnt disprove me at all.
