Ok so, I think I've heard enough rambling about the GTX 480 vs the 5870 by ATI so I'm done with that for now. The deeper I get into this frenzy, the more I begin to realize whats really important to me. And the question that matters more to me now, is how much faster is it then a GTX 295?
Yes, I know there aren't specs right now, but based off of what we "already know" I'd like to get your thoughts on its speed vs what I have already. So keep that in mind.
I ask this because I've stressed myself a little by "hoping" and "wishing" its faster than the 5870 which I still feel a bit confident on. However, the thing that matters to me is how much of an increase in performance will dual 480's be over one GTX 295? I'll be getting 2 GTX 480's but if the performance increase over a single 295 is only like, %20 then there's no way on earth I'll get a GTX 480. I had dual 295's but I learned that one 295 scaled much better and ran higher performance than dual 295's. 4 GPU's is just too much transfering data back and forth to be consitent and smooth.
Any ideas on the fastest graphics solution for me? Price is no concern at the moment. I feel pretty good that 2 GTX 480's will be faster than one ATI 5970. If one 5970 is STILL faster (which will be very very very sad and embarrasing on NVIDIA's part that their top model stuck in SLI can't even beat a 5970) then I'll go with the 5970. I just don't want to make a mistake and buy what I think is performs the best and flunk out. Please don't meantion price because I'll pay for the top no matter what it is. My question is, what IS the top.
As you can see I still think about 2 GTX 480's vs 1 5970, but my main concern is how much faster could 2 480's be over 1 GTX 295. Thanks!
