Just another nVidia is Better than ATI......at chipsets?

[Fike]

In this short little blurb, they pony out the statement that nVidia clearly outperforms AMD's own ATI brand. Isn't that a gross oversimplification. Furthermore, they are comparing mboard chipsets to video cards. Last I checked ATI didn't make mboard chipsets.

ATI does make motherboard chipsets. With a few exceptions on Intel platforms, that what you have to use to run Crossfire.

What is crossfire?

 

[Matt2]

Crossfire is ATI's equivalent to SLi. Some may argue but SLi > Crossfire and Nvidia mobo chipsets are generally more robust and outperform ATI chipsets. Although performance on the high end mobo chipsets is so close it doesnt matter anyway.

Well I can tell you I am foaming at the mouth waiting for this board (ATI chipset): http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=29&threadid=1933870

I think it will give the 680i a run for its money!
