QUOTE(metsatsu @ Mar 2 2009, 09:39 PM) we are talking about the same chip except that it was shrunken. If we are talking about power consumption and heat. 55nm DEFINITELY better than 65nm. performance wise, it's debatable. but I PERSONALLY think that 55nm is NOT WORSE than 65nm when it comes to performance (but really depends on how u define performance though). let's say we are comparing a "65nm [576/1242/999] GTX260" with a "55nm [576/1242/999]" it will give the same PERFORMANCE.Aiyak...For sure la...did i got said anything wrong juz now??

I believe there are one or two heatpipes missing on the 55nm and has less copper in the heatsink. That being said, people are making too much out of it, both the 65nm and the 55nm heatsinks work just fine and run about the same temps. The fact that a smaller die size runs the same temp is a bad thing. It should be cooler and more efficient.

Incredibly they actually FIXED my burned 8800gtx! So i yank out the 4870 and slot in the 8800gtx and guess what: 20 f***ing fps increase in gta 4 benchmarking test! Ati is really a worthless son of a prostitute.
So do i need to totally remove the crappy ati driver to avoid conflict with my new nvidia driver? I already uninstalled the catalyst control center.
Hail Nvidia!

Normal uninstallation will do, but CC cleaner will totally remove the ati driver
