/gives out nvidia beating sticks
I must admit that I am not very impressed with the benchmarks I have see regarding Nvidia's Series 4 chipset.
as time goes the scores will look better. as has been said elsewhere but the temps and power usage are the main issues for me.
Play games, not platforms
GTX 480 Hot and slow,but PhysicX
HD5870 Quick
I have to agree tank,anything that runs that hot should require the fire services on speed dial :P.
I had a 295 and even that thing ran hot, not that it didnt perform on its good days.
FX-8350 | 16GB DDR3-1866 RAM | Corsair H80i | 24TB
How important is this PhysicX? From what I can gather, only a few titles support this, or am I missing something?
Well Batman AA, had some cool physicX effects I gather
Like any new technology, you won't know what you're missing until you've experienced it. IMHO PhysX is one of the best new technologies on the market and it's a shame that so few titles support it properly. In games that do however support it, like Batman AA, it's absolutely stunning to behold.
I think the one thing that's holding this technology back is because it's owned by a single graphics card maker, Nvidia. If it were a bit more open sourced so that ATI owners could enjoy this as well I think developers wouldn't hesitate for a second to implement it in their games.
Remember, developers will never incorporate a technology that could possible split their demographic, where one half enjoys it a lot, and the other half simply wont buy it. It hurts the developers wallets. Games that DO split their demographics are all aligned with a single graphics manufactures anyways, such as "The Way It's Meant To Be Played" campaign run by Nvidia. Developers on that side of the fence get paid by Nvidia to make up for the lost ATI customers which they're not reaching. Well, that's how I think it works anyways.
My ignore list: growing too fast to keep updating.
Fuck! I hate those Nvidia ads in games! how am I suppost to play games on such unreliable cards?
