Any of you guys seen the pattern that I've seen. Ive come up with the conclusion that AMD cpu's work better with NVIVIA gpu's and INTEL cpu's work better with ATI gpu's. Go to site that use AMD cpu's and then go to sites that use INTEL cpu's. Ex. AMD - Tomshardware.com; INTEL - Anandtech.com. Check out the Video card benchmarks of ATI VS. NVIDIA. In Anandtech.com ATI overcomes NVIDIA, but in Tomshardware.com NVIDIA overcomes ATI. Check this out and see if you can find the pattern in other websites that you might know.

welcome to the fourms.

i have 3 systems

i dont see how how one video card works better with a particular CPU

i dont see how then it would be possible for some sites to claim ati as the victor in most of the tests while others claim the opposite. the only major difference between the sites would be the cpu's used.

FYI - Tomshardware sucks. It would be interesting to test a equal AMD vs Intel system with say a GF5600U and a R9600P. See who is the leader.

some sites lack methodology? also, some sites use different drivers than others

usually, when a test is conducted on one site, they use the same CPU and just swap out the video cards so the results are given on the same CPU
