Rightly said!
The correct thread-title should be: Nvidia is SOW friendly.

Important thing to note when looking at all those reviews (e.g. when comparing the two current rivals HD 6970 vs. GFX 570):

GFX 570:
  • quieter & colder
  • better value for money

HD 6970:
  • hotter and louder
  • has more RAM - must have if you're playing on more than one monitor

Oleg himself confirmed that he will be sending early versions of the game to Nvidia for optimizing. That was over a month ago.


Performance wise, both cards are almost equal with only difference in some games for which they are better optimized. Since 570 is an nVidia card, the choice is obvious here.

However, the real diamond here is HD 6950. In CF it's performance is awesome. Decisions, decisions...

Apparently the Hell froze over as 570's are priced lower than 6970's.

I only quoted what various reviews said on the first page. If that is the case than AMD made a good choice. Or just your retailer.
