So basically last you checked was over 2 years ago when people were cooking eggs and bacon on the GTX 400 series ?Tanzklaue wrote:
that would be a new development, last time i checked nvidia cards consumed electricity like anime consumes souls.
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.
Better power efficiency isn't a new development at all, both AMD and Nvidia have been at it for years, though with their more recent cards (600 and 700 series), Nvidia has gotten really good at it.
That said though, I would never pay for anything even remotely related to AMD, and I feel sorry for anyone who do.
