Either that or you've only known about computers for 2 years, because I guarantee you 4-5 years ago ATi and AMD were pounding the **** out of nVidia and Intel, on cooling, price, overclockability, performance and also (for the greenies) power usage. AMD processors for a long time were known as the "gamer's choice" cpus due to their amazing performance and ability to be pushed even further.

As to the prices of the ATi cards, it's a purposeful business move to reclaim some of the market share they lost over these last 2 years with the failed 2 and 3 series cards while ATi and AMD merged. It's a marketing ploy, nothing more - nothing less. It does not infer lesser quality components, nor lesser performance - simply a marketing strategy to get more people's loyalties back to ATi. You may think that it "****s with the consumers" - but it actually is fantastic not only for ATi, but for the consumers aswel. As you may have noticed the GTX series from nVidia has dropped phenominally in price these last 2 months due to ATi's aggressive strategy, and if ATi we offering cheap **** that didn't work - nVidia wouldn't be threatened and you would still be paying $800 for a GTX280 instead of $400.

No, this is not an AMD/ATi fanboy reply, I'm running an Intel Q6600 and nVidia 8800GTS - these are simple facts to cure some people of their terribly uninformed stupidity. Thank you and good day to you sir.

AGREED. until the C2D's came about a hardware junkie would not be caught dead with a intel processor. before that when ATI was still on it's 9 series card you could spend a lot of time looking at that and the 6 series. (that was when i was poor) A year ago if you were buying the logical choice was Nvidia. Now you look at your pocketbook and decide super powered or pretty close and a lot cheaper?

True hardware junkies don't hold to brands they hold to benchmarks.

Well, I will point out the obvious, we are talking about the products of today not 2-3 years ago. ~phadyd

I admit i am a nividia fanboy...
But Im getting the 4870,
I rather pay 200$ less for almost same performance

Howling, you call me stupid but you are the one that always supports these bad products. Also you did not make one good point to why I am stupid for choosing these products. WTF? Marketing stratagies? Who cares? It is about the product. Thanks ATI for making an crap product that is kinda close to a GTX 280 and cheap so Nvidia will drop there prices. Bottom line, everyone is still going to buy intel and Nvidia. Why? Cause they are better. ~ phadyd

the 4870 is much better performance for the buck than the 280, and for slightly cheaper than the 280 you can get a 4870x2 that outperforms Nvidia, and runs with less power usage. ATI has always been better than Nvidia except for the 2k and 3k versions wich were created during the merger, so it was to be expected.

The AMD Phenom runs right on par with the Core 2 quads, the AMD 6000/6400 runs slower but not by much with the intel counterparts.

AMD Shanghai will be a competitor for Nahalem and without AMD the price of INTEL/nvidia would be 4x greater.

Nvidia and inel are great products, and so is AMD and ATi, rambling about how much better one is than the other is asinine, especially the way you portray it by Name only.

Shinanighans damnit

epic fail in progress.

Wow pure fanboy right here.

I'm not sure whether to laugh at Phadyd's posts or cry... I mean yeah stupidity is funny but damn.. there's a line when it becomes just sad...

lmao, this is what makes PvP so attractive.

this may be a little wrong... but it still makes me laugh, sorry Phadyd

Seems that Intel may beat Intel as well.

TG Daily - Intel expected to reveal details about dual-core Atom

Uhhh, since when are benchmarks marketing strategies? Last I checked, Tom's Hardware was not getting their pockets lined by AMD. You sir, are highly, greatly, stupendously uninformed. Based on what you just said, we could draw two things:

1. Quality is dictated by brands. nVidia and Intel have higher performance hardware, regardless of what any measure of performance says.
2. If by marketing strategies, you were referring to AMD/ATi's rep as the choice of gamers then: Reputation doesn't count for ****. Unless it's Intel and nVidia's reputation.
