Once again. 1 GB of vdram will make absolutely no difference whatsoever, not even 1%. If you want to get a 5670 save some money by buying the 512MB version.
Quote:I think 5670 is my last resort if both manufacturers are not releasing their new lineup, which will probably lower this pricepoint....and RAM amount is the last preference in the GPU selection i guess...
Neither brand is going to be releasing their next series of video cards until at least november/late october, and it will probably be even longer than that since TSMC is behind right now.
Not that anyone cares about my opinion but I have the same opinion in nvidia vs. ati that I have in amd vs. intel. They trade blows. Neither is better and they aren't always "better in their own way". Every once and awhile one of them steals the crown from the other. If I were to buy a new video card right now I would definitely go with ati, I have been buying nvidia for the last couple of years for many good reasons but ever since amd bought ati ati has really turned themselves around. Just like with intel and amd I look at the specific chip instead of the brand, except with gpus you also have to take drivers into account. But I prefer R870 to gt100 anyday. I hate gt100, the die size, tdp, power consumption, and integer throughput are all at unacceptable numbers for me. As a scientific processor gt100 is great, but as gpu used for video games R870 is a much better choice in almost every way. That's just my opinion and I'm not going to elaborate because their are so many variables to consider that it would take me an entire page to do so.
