Is Nvidia still better for pcsx2
#21
Comparing the 560 ti and the 6870 is bad since they're in different tiers. You should be comparing it to the 6950 same price and performance range.

Lol, the 6870 was never the fastest card. You 're probably thinking of a 6970 (which still wasn't the fastest card at the time, GTX 580 is more powerful). The 570 is comparable to the 6970 and the 560 ti is comparable to the 6950. The GTX 680 is barely faster (some benchmarks show that it is slower) than the 7970. Nvidia's drivers are generally better than AMD's but AMD have been improving their game A LOT recently.

You're still wrong. The GTX 480 was released before the 6870 and the 480 is more powerful.

The 480 is also over double the price of a 6870 tbf.

This argument will go nowhere though, too much bias associated with these two companies.

lol not really, it's a fact that 480 is more powerful than 6870 and including the price into the discussion cement it even further. he's just correcting a wrong statement with fact btw, not really arguing as far as I can see.

So what if it's more expensive? He stated that it was the most powerful card of the time when it clearly wasn't, he never brought price into the equation. The 6870 is a VERY good value card but it is by no means the most powerful now or when it was released.

Something is telling me your tunnel-vision blinding fanboyisim is giving you the impression I said anything of the sort.. Tongue

Whatever. You're both idiots anyway. My post did have some relevance to you in any case. It doesn't matter at all if the GTX 480 is more expensive, the 6870 is the weaker card. He was trying to say that the 6870 was the fastest card at the time when it definitely wasn't not that it was the best value card at the time (which it arguably was). Also, who am I fanboying? I'd like to hear this one.

Nice argument. Calls me a child after saying I'm a tunnel-visioning fanboy after providing facts and stopping the spread of misinformation. Also seems he can't communicate a point effectively without using cheesy emoticons. Yeah, such a child. The real test now is, can you resist returning to this thread after stating your leave? This should be good.
