RetiredTacos Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Just picked up the gigabyte 6850 last weekend for 180$. Was running a GTX260 and an ATi 5770 forever. This card was pretty damn good value IMO. I wanted to spend less than 400$, so two of these at 360$ will be well under the budget. But as of now, just running a single. Running at 975/1050 right now, I might try to hit 1000/1100 and stop there. Plays most games very well but I do want to pick up another and see what they can truly do. If there are any games you'd like to see benchmarks on or have questions please ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetiredTacos Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 No Shader clock? Booooooooooooooo ATI has stream processors, not shaders. And those are linked to the core. This is why nvidia > ati I piss on fanboyism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMigra Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 dammit.... right when i was thinking of buying a second 5870 to crossfire.... value of one 5870 is the same price as 2 6850's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 ATI has stream processors, not shaders. And those are linked to the core. I piss on fanboyism. What sucks about being linked to the core is it limits overclocking possibilities. And also, nVidia has PhysX which is better than AA options. nVidia's CUDA is awesome too, especially with Kepler coming out (28nm). Gonna be an overclocking beast! But I rather wait until 2013 for Maxwell to come out (drools) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
