I want you to build me a boss gaming rig

[rtil]

i personally avoid nvidia cards, i think they're overpriced and their radeon counterparts perform just as well and usually for less money

at that range of performance though you'd be hard pressed to find anything they can't do

up to you though

I looked at the benchmarks and nvidia just seemed like the way to go in this case, with the ~$300 ati 6970 performing 20% slower than the 580 and the ati 5970 performing 20% faster but costing $750

[rtil]

it still doesn't really justify the cost gap, especially if it performs >30 fps on whatever you're playing regardless

bottom line though is all the new high end model cards are overpriced but are probably going to last you a long time if you take care of them

please dont fight

[rtil]

we're not fighting i'm explaining why i don't buy nvidia cards i really don't care which one you buy, they're both great

[Necronomitr0n]

personally i prefer nvidia just because i like their drivers better than ati but that's just me

[rtil]

they are equally horrible although they're getting better. ati used to be a pain in the ass to upgrade, but things have gotten a lot better

Yup, especially with the 360 being the target platform for every game.

I wish there was a feature to vote on posts, and if the rating got low enough it'd automatically be hidden.

[rtil]

what would happen if i did that:

1. post would be buried with "click to view" button

2. everyone clicks "click to view"

3. proceed to post "oh god why did i view it"

[billy]

could be funny lol

i like the idea
