Yeah, it would be foolish to go alone with Nvidia their cards are expensive, AMD are going for cheap, efficient and still quite high performance cards so IMHO you will find that AMD have a larger share of the market...

It was very interesting reading the SimHQ interview with Oleg where he said he was in constant contact with Nvidia, who have assisted greatly in helping him get the most out of NV technology for SoW. They even sent tech reps to visit them in Moscow. Even more interesting was that Oleg said he has received no such help from AMD/ATI. They won't even answer his emails!
I know what brand of card I'll be buying for SoW. ![]() Last edited by Feathered_IV; 12-16-2010 at 10:44 AM. |

I wouldn't bother with Toms Hardware anymore - was great some years ago, but was bought out and reviews have gone downhill. Particularly nvidia vs ATI/AMD. Quote:

This speaks volumes imo: "Should your shiny new 6000-series card’s death turn out to be PowerTune-related, a warranty won’t cover it. Sounds a little like Nissan equipping its GT-R with launch control, and then denying warranty claims when someone pops the tranny. Nevertheless, you’ve been warned." Stock overclocking gives pretty much 0 boost. The only time anything happens is when u crank up the powertune +20% (and ooops, there goes the warrenty out the window) wich, if im not misstaken is the same as using voltage tuner = more heat/power consumption = Amd mantra out the window. This is how i intepret it, please show me wrong if possible because its looking bleek for Amd in my opinion. Anyways, in the end it wont make a differance. People buy the card they want no matter what so it will proppably even it selfe out in the end. Last edited by Baron; 12-16-2010 at 12:02 PM. |

S!
Hopefully we do NOT see the "TWAT" symbol when starting up SoW one day. Would be a big error to margin a game already in a small niché to just one brand..again. Should have learned that from IL-2. Blaming AMD for NOT developing SoW with Oleg is pretty darn useless as we do NOT know anything what goes on deep behind the scenes. We get tidbits of info, but Oleg does NOT share confidential information with the community. Be Sure! I read at some point Luthier(if I remember right) had a machine with AMD 5870HD for testing SoW. Both AMD and NV support DX9-11 that are to be used in SoW, would not worry about it ![]() I run AMD system, have a 580GTX too and must say that in games I play (VSync is ON) I see no difference in performance AT ALL between the cards. IL-2 is an exception but it is "TWAT" certified as we all know. Benchmarks are different, but if BOTH brands can push a steady 60fps+ at your preferred resolution/settings then it is just stupid to argue if the other brand can do 200fps and the other 190fps..as you can not see the difference at all ![]() |

The 5970 is already up with the 580, and the 5xxx series had rubbish scaling. The 6970 in crossfire matches the 580 in SLI, so a dual GPU 69xx series will easily be faster than the 580. It will cost more too, and have the dual card associated issues. A dual gpu will obviously use more power than a single, and they won't apply the same restrictions.

So they clearly do overclock. Quote:
