Good article on the gtx470 in sli vs 5970.* Added sli 480's vs 2 5870's*

Or, even better, here's an article with HD5870 in Crossfire, HD5970, GTX470 in SLI and GTX480 in SLI.

Hey, I missed that one. thanks.

GTX480's are 30% faster then crossfired 5870's @ 2500x1600.
I thought the gtx line sucked @ this res. ?

Quote from the article..

"The resolution of 2560x1600 is the battlefield that the GeForce GTX 480 SLI is really meant for. It now has an average 30% advantage over the Radeon HD 5870 CrossFire and often boasts a hefty advantage in terms of bottom speed."

Learn something new everyday.:hmm:

Edit: The only bad part is, they only use a stock core i7 @ 3.3ghz. I think they should do a little overclock on the cpu.

As resolution increases, the gap between a single 5870 and a GTX480 decreases from what I've seen. But with two cards it seems like the opposite is happening, two 5870's fall further behind two GTX480's as resolution increases. Either Nvidia got something really right with SLI as resolution increases, or AMD has something really wrong.

Or the code in the games is not well optimized for one or the other. 🙄

Look at crysis.
 
I think that both scales pretty much the same, is just that GTX 4x0 series scaling is more consistent without variables regarding resolution, detail level or usage of anti aliasing, it would seems that the GTX 4x0 series architecture is better balanced for that.
