For such crap like gtx 260 the competition from ATI is 4600-series or something like that for half of the price u have to pay for gtx 260. Not mention "cheaper component" gddr5 ram in ATI cards and damn fast and expensive ddr3 in crappy gtx 260."Noob is talking such bullsh.t as u not testing videocards, if u would test at least one Radeon card for real u wouldn't write such dumb fanboy things in here. U've paid lot of money for something that it's not worth it cause for theese money u could have much more powerful graphics from ATI. Nvidia had their good moment few years ago and they stuck with it till today without much changes, they thought it will keep them as a leader of graphics cards sector for years, they were wrong. Best selling consoles makers - Nintendo and Microsoft - choose ATI graphics for their consoles, guess why - same reasons I've choose ATI.
whoever posted this should already know that the gtx 260 has a bigger bus width and graphic buswidth. the gtx 260 has a bus width of 448 while almost every single ati graphics cards ever made so far have 250 buswidth. the graphics bandwidth is a 124gbs I believe for the gtx 260 compared to any ati graphics card it has two digits only. GDDR5 isnt really that big of difference to GDDR3 when u put it to the test on games and 3dbenchmarks. myself and other techs i know would only say it gives a 5% increase in 3d applications compared to GDDR3. as for the noob comment, what r u 5 years old?? theres nothing noob about testing games out with different graphics cards look on at games and judging better performance. its what review companies do all the times, only i dont get paid to do it. I did it out of looking for the best graphics card.
Will you stop going on, this thread was never originally about which was better, if you want to keep expressing your opinion do it (here), a thread which is actually related to ATI vs NVIDIA
