[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.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.blaznwiipspman1Not 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.
