What AMD Thinks of Nvidia's GeForce GTX 480
You know what we think of Nvidia's new GPUs. Now do you want to know what AMD thinks?
With Nvidia's new generation of GPUs based off of its GF100 architectures at our doorstep, the competition to be top dog in the graphics world is more heated than ever. Both top GPU makers now have DirectX 11 offerings for the next generation of games.
Now that Nvidia has just laid its GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 cards on the table, we wanted to know what AMD thought of the competition. This is what AMD had to say:
Four months after its launch, the ATI Radeon HD 5970 remains the undisputed performance leader. Six months after its launch, the ATI Radeon HD 5870 remains the clear winner at and below its price point. Add to that a top to bottom line-up of DirectX 11 graphics cards as well as cutting-edge features such as the immersive experience of ATI Eyefinity technology, and we are confident ATI Radeon graphics cards will continue to be the favorite choice of customers wanting the most advanced and efficient graphics products.

"You know what we think of Nvidia's new GPUs. Now do you want to know what AMD thinks?"
We do? I dont see any news or reviews on this website here in the UK.
I was thinking the same thing...
Oh... scratch that - we do...
i didnt see anything in that statement regarding to the GTX 480...but ok.
stonefisher - Actually there is. you probably missed the article.
now if you could get your drivers to work more stably amd, you'll be this gfx generation's winner by a knock out.
I like the fact he used the word efficient at the end there; a little dig at Fermi's heat/power characteristics perhaps?
Oh yeah, 105c gpu temps, no matter what the manufacturer says, i don't think its gonna last and just imagine the heat it will exhaust into your rig, i' ve been an nvidia user ever since 8800gtx upwards but i moved to ati 5850 crossfire just to see its performance and for lack of competitive products from the green team i know now i made the right decision.
