Quoted from Skyride
I’M GOING TO WRITE THIS POST IN BOLD AND BLOCK CAPITALS SO YOU ACTUALLY READ IT PROPERLY.
THERE IS NO BEST BETWEEN NVIDIA/ATI OR INTEL/AMD. THERES JUST WHICH PRODUCT IS BEST FOR YOUR PARTICULAR SCENARIO. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A REASONABLE PRICE HIGH SPEC PC, AN INTEL I5 SYSTEM IS CLEARLY THE WINNER HOWEVER IF YOU JUST WANT A CHEAP GAMING SYSTEM, AN AMD TRIPLE/QUAD CORE MAKES MORE SENSE.
WITH GRAPHICS CARDS AT THE MOMENT TO BE FAIR, ATI KIND OF HAVE THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY IN EVERY AREA, BUT THERES NO POINT BEING A FANBOY AS 18 MONTHS AGO, THERE WAS GENUINE CONCERN THAT AMD WOULD GO BUST AS THEY DIDN’T REALLY COMPETE IN THE HIGH END OF THE MARKET AND INTEL JUST HAD THEM BEAT IN EVERY WAY WITH CPUS.
SO BASSICALLY WHAT ANATHEMA SAID. LOOK AT YOUR BUDGET AND YOUR NEEDS, THEN SEE WHATS THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY, DON’T JUST BE A FANBOY.
/end rant

Haha 68k is a beast :>
Alrighty. I think I’m gonna listen to the text that is easiest to read.
So, Intel cpu and either ATI or nVidia for me…

In all seriousness, a NAND gate, a transistor and a capacitor outweigh all those cpus.
(If any admin has itchy lock-fingers feel free to lock this thread)
ATI if you want just gaming.
nVidia if you also want to do this and more:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lUY76kTXF0 <- doesn't require quadro, gtx 285 and soon 480 work also
Probably stuff like that will be availablo for ATI on direct compute anyway, dunno wether the performance will be better than cuda though.
best Graphics card for your money

best Gaming CPU for your money

it all depends on HOW MUCH you have got to spend and what screen resolution you are running at.
wish people wouldn’t post in threads based on what they ‘think’ they know, with limited or no testing, just because person X told then it was the correct info.
Let the professionals test and review.
For those who can not be bothered to read the links.
NO dual core CPUs are recommended at any price point
10 ATI cards are recomended at various price points to 2 nvidia cards.
i’d recomend reading if you are building on a budget
I think the best and cheapest options are:
Intel i7-860 2.4 GHZ processor
and
ATI 5770 videocard.

i7 860 = 2.8gHz
And if you’re gonna get that and only get an HD5770 you’re better off grabbing an i5 750 + HD5850 for roughly the same budget (or just get the i7 860 + HD5850. I’ve got that and it works beautifully).
Price/performance ati wins at graphics, but I’m pretty sure that nvidia has better driver support(I use ati).
Amd is good for gaming, if you don’t want to oc. Intel cpu’s are good for overclockers, imo(doesn’t mean that amd are bad, but they are clocked pretty high @ default).
But anyways, it all depends what you do to your pc.

im using i7-860
nvidia GT320 :(
And i want a cheap ass videocard and 5770 is around 160 euro.
First i have to finished my school, earn some money and BAM update my videocard.
results: Lowest fps 60 @ 1440×900 resolution on a 32 players server
6vs6 matches lowest fps 100;)
i see it just like a discussion if you like ferrari or lamborgini more, take what you like and what fits in your budget.
