JensenPark Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 this comment came from a geek friend of mine when I showed him Sulky's new computer recommendation...(he loved everything else but said go ATI) any feedback? thanks, "Because I am an ATI fan, I have to recommend that you take a look at the Radeon4870/4890 cards as an alternative.

Rattler Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 They are. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html It comes down to your preference, and what you've heard from others. I would've gone with a GTX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensenPark Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 sounds like 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other - and that both are good choices... thanks for your input guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulky Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 as others have said, there isnt mich too choose, i only went with the 260 in your set up because you had a 9800 b4, but both cards are good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I picked up the 260GTX OC last week from Dell, after rebates, and a 25% coupon I got it for $137.00 If you get one make usre it a 216 SP and not a 192 SP GPU processor: GeForce GTX 260 Driver version: 190.38 Stream processors: 216 Core clock: 626 MHz Shader clock: 1349 MHz Memory clock: 1053 MHz (2106 MHz data rate) Memory interface: 448-bit Memory: 896 MB Video BIOS version: 62.00.4C.00.50 IRQ: 25 Bus: PCI Express x16 Only quirk I have is I can't get water in IL2 to look like my ATI card unless I run it in a off sized window mode. I'll get some screen shots real quick to show ya. And post them in the other thread I have on it. http://www.dangerdogz.com/forums/index.php/topic,7819.new.html#new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Brando Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'm loving my 4890. It's fast and quiet - needing only 40% fan speed to keep the GPU at sub-48C throughout long sessions of IL2. Overclocking has been easy too, with it now at 960/1050MHz for GPU and memory, and perfectly steady. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
