What should I get?

2 Inno3d Geforce GTS 250 512MB cards to run in SLI

or

1 Palit Radeon HD 4870 1GB Sonic Dual Edition card

I've read/watched every review on both and I still need some convincing.

These should probably help you help me decide:

Inno3d Geforce GTS 250 512MB (Remember, if I choose this I'll be getting 2 of these to run in SLI)

Specs:
- Graphics Clock (MHz): 738
- Processor Clock (MHz): 1836Mhz
- Memory Clock (MHz): 2200Mhz (1100 * 2)
- Memory Amount: 512MB GDDR3
- Memory Interface: 256-bit
- Stream Processors: 128 Stream Processors

Palit Radeon HD 4870 1GB Sonic Dual Edition

Specs:
- Core/Stream Clock (Normal/Turbo): 750MHz/775Mhz
- Memory Clock (Normal/Turbo): 3800MHz/4000MHz (950/1000 * 4)
- Memory Amount: 1GB GDDR5
- Memory Interface: 256-bit
- Stream Processors: 160 Processors (800 Stream processing units)

---
IMO it's close, the price of buying the HD 4870 is $16 cheaper than buying 2 GTS 250 cards but I wouldn't mind it that much if the later is a better option.

So what do you guys think?

GeForce is best!

My head slides to the Ati's one.

Guess they might give out same performance, or maybe differ quite a lot.Ati was bad at driver coding when i was following news and shit.If theyre still same at it... Get Nvidia.

[MAF]mooman · « **Reply #3 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:58:26 am »

4870 looks better, IMO

[2F2F]SNiKeRiS · « **Reply #4 on:** June 04, 2009, 10:23:17 am »

Only ATI, you won't be disappointed

[FSR]Ush · « **Reply #5 on:** June 04, 2009, 10:42:01 am »

Ask snoopy what he thinks about ATI lol

[MAF]Snoopy · « **Reply #6 on:** June 04, 2009, 11:14:48 am »

ati suck, i can assure you that it gives low fps on san andreas, my 9600gt pwns the shit out of my 4850, and that card was meant to be a beast.

pure true

[MAF]falky · « **Reply #8 on:** June 04, 2009, 01:09:50 pm »

What if I pair the HD4870 with a Phenom X4 9950 (2.6GHz and I plan on installing a CM Hyper Z600 heatsink to overclock it to around 3.5GHz) ?

[MAF]Snoopy · « **Reply #9 on:** June 04, 2009, 01:24:29 pm »

i really dont know tbh, iv'e lost all faith in ati, your call lol

[FSR]Michal · « **Reply #10 on:** June 04, 2009, 02:37:50 pm »

I think you should take 2 X GTS 250 and when you run them on SLI, this config can be fast as 9800GX2 ~ GTX 280(single), and in most of games faster than HD 4870, 4890

.

[MAF]falky · « **Reply #11 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:46:29 pm »

I think I'm in now favor of buying the 2 GTS 250 cards after reading this:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/gf-gts250-sli_14.html#sect1

As you can see, running 2 GTS 250 cards in SLI is actually almost better (and cheaper) than buying even a GTX 285.

[MAF]Cthulhu · « **Reply #12 on:** June 04, 2009, 04:11:22 pm »

nice hehe

[FSR]Michal · « **Reply #13 on:** June 04, 2009, 04:47:28 pm »

yep You can think also about one GTX 260 (216 core in 55nm) and overclock it, or buy even 2 used 9800GTX cuz its same card as GTS 250, but much cheaper
