Every time I look at the reviews, the GTX260 looks better.
Just the right amount of power where the non extreme no 30" 2560x monitor ggames needs to be - with plenty of headroom.
I'll never understand why people buy the ATI card. Of course, ATI lost another near billion for AMD who had to "chargedown" the loss, again - so maybe people don't buy it.
So what you're saying is that you didn't even read the article, right? The 4870 has higher average and minimum framerates in nearly every single case outside of Crysis (in which neither card is really playable anyhow) and CoD. I also fail to see how the 260-216 beats the 4870 "half the time". If you think that's the case, I suggest you go back and retake some basic math, you need some help on those fractions.
You mention CUDA and PhysX, but how many applications can you name that you USE that actually take advantage of either? The only one I can think of is Mirror's Edge. That's not exactly a killer app.
As for SLI scaling, it only does you limited good when you're behind in performance to begin with. There's also the fact that there are many instances in which crossfire scales better than SLI, as well. Overall, scaling itself is a wash.
Anyhow, please take you uninformed fanboyism elsewhere.
PS - you FOOL - claiming I didn't read the article....
STRAIGHT FROM THE ARTICLE ITSELF, YOU MAROON..
" What makes the choice difficult is that the Radeon HD 4870 1GB and GeForce GTX 260-216 are incredibly well matched not only on price, but also on performance across the board. Right now, the favour seems to have tipped AMD's way, but it could quite easily flip the other way when you consider that of the five benchmarks the Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 1GB Toxic won against the GeForce GTX 260-216, two of them were by less than five percent. "
ROFLMAO - OF THE 5 IT WON - THE MEGA OVERCLOCK TO STOCK WAS ONLY 2% AHEAD, AND THE OVERCLOCK ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE GAVE IT 5-7% MORE THAN STOCK 4870 1GIG - SO 2% MINUS 5-7% PUTS IT 3-5 PERCENT BEHIND A STOCK GTX260-216.
Now who can't do the math ? You IDIOT red fan boiiiiiiiiii !

I left the first post because it's just funny.. but three of them in a row is laboursome.
Yeah, rational is THE FACTS, what you meant to say was "non-emotional" , right ? Or are you a red fanboi too ?

YES YOU PROBABLY ARE.
Come back in 3 days Silicon when you've calmed down.
