If both cards has somewhat equivalent performance, TS should go for 9800GTX+. The reason is simple:

"The Way It Is Meant To Be Played"..... more games are optimized for Nvidia cards.

Epic FAIL.


I do see why you highlight brands in your sig though. rolleyes.gif


@OP

I have no idea how the 2 cards currently cost for you, but I can say that the (approx) lowest price for a 4870 512MB (Brick and Mortar shop) is RM 830.

nope. wont go for GTX260.
still prefer Sapphire 4870 Toxic 1GB although it'll cost 999.
since i'm going to get Gigabyte EP45-UD3P, maybe later i'll do crossfire with 2x Sapphire 4870 Toxic 1GB. oh..how nice is that. brows.gif

ZzZzZ .. CF means 2 GPU Core right ? one day .. there will be one GPU with 2 Cores .. and the price will be so cheap .. all of us will cry ..

anybody know when this is going to happen ?

i bet Nvidia and ATi are laughing at us if they see we talking about 1 GPU 2 Cores ..

for now 1GPU 2Cores is like HD4870x2

Bro, I mentioned that "IF both cards have equivalent performance" ler... TS should really go for Nvidia. However if HD4870 pawns 9800GTX+ for the same pricing, of cause he should go for ATi then.

I am still forced to use Nvidia cards as they are still champions in running Folding@Home.

yawn..no need to see la..just buy it and try it then you know what i mean sometime review just useless..when you try all of it then you know,if cannot buy it borrow from your fren and do your own comparison,on any way the core 216 is better then 4870 1gb period...lets just speak based on experianced rather then reading,ok..

people who r saying 4870 > gtx260 216 is definitely a fanboy.

hey, i'm using 4870 myself, & i admit dat gtx260 is better in most of the occasion, it vary on games.
but 4k series has its own advantage, one of dem is in AA.
4870 loose a little b coz driver not optimized, i still hold faith in my 4870, hopefully ATI will release a better driver in the future......... tongue.gif

my point exactly,even if you read im still using my old faithfull 4870 512mb,try the 4870 1gb previously and gaming on 27inch with 1920x1200 the different is so minimal,try te core 216 at stock the framerate averagely better then 4870 1gb about 5fps but on the oc term max vs max you can see the diferent quite a lot most likely vary from 10-15fps that is consider quite a good margin..
