unlike you, the most of us logical people aren't cherry picking only certain screenshots lol. we looked at all of them, and out of 11 games, Nvidia won 8, some by very large margins. AMD only won 3? The numbers are all right there, we don't just link a few games and some games multiple times to try to persuade people into something that isn't true. All the charts show Nvidia won 8 out of 11 games, sorry to burst your bubble :)

[QUOTE="grackfields"]Nice article by Anandtech, actually shows the Gtx 580 owning on all the charts but a couple, pure performance - Nvidia wins. blaznwiipspman1

hmm yah in a FEW games and in those few games only by a few frames. pretty pathetic if you ask me

They tested 11 games, Nvidia won 8, AMD won 3. And average frame rate margin was 20-30 in favor of Nvidia. Sorry, but the numbers are right there you can't lie about them. Nvidia won, by a lot.

The thing is, two Gtx 580s are essentially a Gtx 590 right, which is priced at $700. So wasn't all they did was compare $1000 worth of AMD vs $700 worth of Nvidia? I still don't understand the reasoning for their test, it proves nothing because no one would buy 2 separate Gtx 580s today, they would just get the 590 no?

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"]

AMD's BZ hyperthread solution is better than Nehalem/SB. AMD's BZ FPUs are 4 operand types(FMA4) and there's two of them(in SSE mode).

SB has 2 operand types (2 for ADD, 2 for MUL).

And what does Hyperthreading do for gaming?

it doesn't change the fact that its 2 cards overall for amd vs 3 cards for 570 tri sli. Even then the 6970 would at least match the tri 570 setup. A graphics card is a graphics card, who cares if AMD just divided the amount of power on a card into 3 instead of 2. The end result that matters is the amount of space taken up in your computer and the cost. In that case a 580 sli is beaten out by 6990 + 6970 combo in a completely FAIR contest.blaznwiipspman1
Not sure if you are aware of this, but the 6990 is two 6970s combined into one. so putting a 6990 plus another 6970 = 3 6970s. Get it? So comparing 3 6970s vs 2 580s is not an equal comparison. What EVERYONE is saying is that comparing 3 6970s with 3 gtx 570s would be a fair comparison.
