best-deal videocard?

Ah gotcha, didn't understand his grammer

 

[foothead]

no....

The 5870 beats the gtx285 in every test known to man.

except folding@home PPD.

until GPU3 client is relesed

 

[sniperviper21]

so wtf is so special about gpu3?

 

[foothead]

It adds openCL support.

BTW, a 295 beats a 5870 in pretty much everything at stock clocks.

not by a whole lot you know.


an how much would openCL help anyways

 

[Holysky]

but a gtx 295 is 2 gpus

the 5870 is one runs cooler less energy needed 45nm and cheaper and if you oc it beats a 295

To put it the simplest way possible, OpenCL will basically equal CUDA in folding performance. That is, once it is refined a bit.

BUT we are talking raw benches here.

BUT not everyone has a ton of money to throw out on their favorite brand, why not spend 200 dollars less OC and get equivalent performance and being more realistic.

still a Vidia fan to me lol.

and i dont count 4fps faster here, and there, consider to be better.

 

[foothead]

We were just talking what is faster, not what is better for your money, etc.

There is a huge difference.
