Woah, that's unexpected!

Poor AMD.

Nice troll!

ibtl.

Bring on the flame wars.

Isn't Vantage for DirectX 10?

The one of the left scrolls through their various benchmarks top scores, the two on the right never change.

I don't get it

If you make this your desktop wallpaper, it will automatically make your Nvidia card run faster. It's true I've tried it.

What am I looking at here lol. You need to say something about what you post, you can't just post a picture and not comment on it.

Will it make either of my Intel cpu's run faster?



You guys are going hard on this one.

 

[Corporate Thug]

I don't get it

the top 5 CPUs are intel and 4 out of 5 of the GPUs are NV...I guess that's thread worthy these days.

As far as I can tell he's just upset as the 470's didn't make the list

 

[jackstar7]

nV users are obsessed with benchmarks? WHAT?!

Seeing how cpus can't run I doubt it

Oh sorry I figured those that cared would see the obvious correlation.

If we look at CPU's we see exactly what we'd expect from the current market.

The i5-2500k is the #1 processor used with their benchmark software, while the IB i5 is their second, this makes since these two chips are seen as the best for the money gaming cpu's on the market currently. As you go down from there you see the same set of events, the i7-2600k then the IB i7, followed by the cheapest x6 SB chip. I think we can all agree that makes perfect sense. I don't think the AMD cpu fanatics will touch that, it's about as accepted as things get.

However what's striking is that after seeing such clear uncontested cpu representation we see what has been reportedly the direct opposite by many on this forum, not only is the 670 and 680 number one and two respectively the Ti cards are 3 and 4, what's even more shocking is that cards like the 7870 or even the 7950 aren't the first AMD card on the list but their big daddy. It seems AMD did a great job marketing that card not even Nvidia can pull of a #1 presentation out of their flagship within their own respective market.

I thought that was totally unexpected and something different than the steam surveys as 3DMark would represent more of the "Enthusiast" side of things.

 

[AnandThenMan]

I have no idea what you're saying or why it is thread worthy. But carry on...

 

[lavaheadache]

Do you go out of your way to find this stuff? I would never look for half the info you find, nor would I bother to make a thread about stupid crap like this.

Honestly, What good do you think this thread will invoke here?

 

[BallaTheFeared]

A more accurate representation of the current GPU market for "our" market segment?

What else would we be doing here besides discussing hardware?

It's not hard to find...

You actually took the time to type this out and try to make this seem like it's not a troll thread? Lol nice try I guess.

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Yes information is trolling for you, for some of us it's a better understand of the world outside the little bubble.

 

[lavaheadache]

I don't really need a 3dmark survey to tell me that nVidia is the popular kid in town and it doesn't do anything to my ego to hear it either

 

[AnandThenMan]

In other news the The New York Islanders are going to become The New York Brooklyners. :hmm:

 

[BallaTheFeared]

You guys mind letting some of the non usual suspects chime in before you derail and trash a thread until you can get it locked?

 

[Rvenger]

Don't worry I already reported this thread. You know it will become a flame war so why even start it? You have been at it all day.

The way I see it, the thread was made by the most usual suspect of them all.
