that would be a new development, last time i checked nvidia cards consumed electricity like anime consumes souls.Kanye West wrote:
Actually I heard nvidia cards are more power efficient and run cooler. My friend has an R9 290 and the thing sounds like a leaf blower on max setting.Tanzklaue wrote:
nowadays, it's 99% preferation. i personally swear on nvidia, other prefer radeon. nvidia is faster, but also more expensive and more consuming on your electrics bill. AMD is cheaper, slower, but many games get optimized for AMD cards first.
i also only now realized that waxman confused Ati and AMD. well, replace AMD with Ati in my statement and it should work out still.
in case of processors, again, if nothing changed, intel is far superior and most intel processors beat AMD ones easily when in the same price range.
then again i am no computerexpert and there is more that goes into performance than raw power, synergy is important too.
