hi guys! lil question! whats the most powerfull nvidia/ati at the moment, and what is the most powrefull gpu worldwide (for gaming)?

thnx

sharky

I think it's the GT280 by NV. But it is expencive and needs a lot of energy (power).
I think Pixel has it. Ask him

Fried it during a watercooling accident and have been without stereo for a few weeks now waiting for a replacement. 280 is the beast right now...

But for your IZ3D multiple AMD boards in crossfireX might be even more powerfull. Maybe you have more memory then, too?
Imagine 3 or 4 GPUs in one rig
But I don't think you need such overkill... except you want to run multiple screens... Maybe 3 Iz3D in stretch mode with TH2GO?

3x iz3d 26' using TH2GO would be l33t

Wouldn't TH2GO's max resolution be too low?

hmm.. cant find that beast her ein italy.. whats the cost of the beast?

I think you are right... I think the max res for DX9 was 4kx4k. And 2Iz3D are more than 3k horizontally already...
Maybe they could run a little down scaled

@ sharky: last time I heard of it it was about 600$ and only 400$ for the slower GTX260. This one is below 250€ on ebay.
Sorry it's called GTX280 (at least on ebay.de) and is below 350€ there.

How does this strike you?

I have a superclocked 8800 GTX that has been good for me. I upgraded from the GTS 640MB version in March and so far, my GTX has been suitable. I'll upgrade to the nvidia card after the next version. The % difference in performance to cost for me to upgrade isn't that much.

around $450 here in the US.

Doesn't the Radeon HD 4870X2 beat the GT280?

450 isnt that much.. i paid my 8800 around 480 euro (700 US$) one year ago...
