Which is stronger, a x1900xtx or a GTX 512mb?

[dug777]

Assuming i wanted to build a bridge entirely out of ultra-high end gfx cards, which would be the card of choice?

LOL...wha?

Hahahaha- at least it's not another thread about the performance of these two cards!

Edit- although now we could start a huge debate about the stronger of the two cards!!! Damn you to heck dug777!! Damn you to all heck!!!

 

[mooncancook]

how come nobody made a graphic board or motherbard of carbon fiber. that ought to be strong.

 

[Hacp]

I would assume the 1900. Why you say? Because red colord things corrode slower than green ones. Just look at the Statue of Liberty. THey had to do extensive work just because it is green.

The GTX, the heatpipe cooler would provide better lateral stability.

I'd say the gtx, that hsf is massive

Agreed. No way that wimpy X1900XT(X) HSF could have any strength compared to the GTX..

It would be good if the reviewers benchmarked tensile strength, yield strength, ultimate strength and breaking strength...

I have the feeling they don't have the money to be testing the breaking strength of $500 video cards....just a guess

Clearly the GTX because SLI already uses a bridge, while crossfire uses a limp dongle.

Wait, its the x1900XTX because there aren't enough GTX 512s to build a bridge with

Blah- just clicked on munky's "don't click" button- gggggrrrr......oldest trick in the book-I must be tired- but I've looked at that damn thing a million times. just..one...click.....

 

[fierydemise]

G71 is only a few weeks away, I'd wait

[dug777]

most importantly, should i consider 3dlabs Wildcat workstation cards as an alternative material?

BUWAHAHAHAHA...I love it. Best argument all day.

dont under estimate the dongle.. u can numchuck them lala!

Useless for bridgebuilding! Lala! Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala!

lol...this thread is 10 times better than any other comparing the two

btw I've been lurking around here for a while...this got enough of a laugh out of me to sign up lol (I'm not interested in the flamewars that seem to run rampant here)
