The specs differ quite a bit. The 295 has the lowest core clock at 576MHz that is equivalent to the 8400GS. The 280 at 604MHz, 285 at 648MHz, and the 4870 X2 at 750MHz. The winner is clear
I stick to my order.
280 GTX standard is 640Mhz not 604, but if you compare ATi cards to Nvidia cards, ATi should be blowing Nv out of the water, so why isnt this showing? seems the other way around?
doesnt matter what the paperwork says, fact of the matter is, its ATi's useless drivers that let the cards down, if AMD put as much effort into making better drivers as they do making powerful cards, god only knows what kind of monster would be released.
but if this comment slightly confuses you, think about it this way,
if you had a V8 engine in a muscle car and a 4 stroke in a rally car, and the rally car won, what do you think went wrong? answer is, the rally car is built for speed and cornering, whereas the muscle car is made for speed only.
