Best GPU on the Planet?

Is Nvidia better than ATI?
Or ATI is better than Nvidia?

Which GPU is the best on the world? ( The World's best )

Re: Best GPU on the Planet?

It's a matter of opinion. You're always going to have someone say this one is better than the other. There are pros and cons for each Nvidia and ATI card. In other words, neither is.

The new Nvidia gtx 295 is giving ATI's 4870x2 a run for it's money.

Also, you have to take into account diffrent companies that realease thier own versions of ATi or Nnvidia reference cards. Some are better than others.

As for best in the world? Any of the Top-end cards that are factory overclocked I guess.

I have been using ATI 3650. Never had any problems with it. \
And as i said, I would "recommend" ATI.
It depends upon the user finally.

ok.....


4870x2..... great card, if your rig is compatible with it, & the drivers (many are not)...lots of raw power, but needs a lot of power to run, a good solution if playing games which don't support SLI or CFX as this has both the die's on the same card it should utilize them both... do not buy this card for any resolution below 1920x1200


GTX295..... now i wanna rave about this card, but i cant at the moment, its either being hindered by the dreaded PCB sandwich stutter, or drivers need more work, b/c these cards are producing CRAP framerates currently this card IS powerful but until they work out the bugs go for the GTX285 or 2x GTX260s for better performance (currently)


so sometimes ''buying'' the best wont always ''deliver'' the best.....

I have ASUS GeForce GTX295 and it is an amazing card. I don't have any problems at all. The only thing I had a problem with was with GTAIV and it's a software issue other than that no problems. It stays surprisingly cool during max gaming. I played Crysis last night for about an hour and the peak temp on the card was 68 C and was cooled quickly. Great card. You get what you pay for.

Update: I deleted GamerOSD and SmartDoctor from ASUS and the GTAIV gfx problem is fixed. I have everything maxed and get 30-40 fps. Amazing!

not always my friend.......
im not saying its a complete washout, i know the card has serious potential, but i've heard more ''independent'' horror stories than good with the 295 thus far

the GX2 was the same at launch, but that still has issues to this day....
