luke_589 boom baby! gone postal total posts: 469 since: Sep 2006	Sep 30, 09 at 3:39pm ^ AMD or Intel
	Log in to remove this sponsored message Okay I'm really stuck between choosing AMD or Intel, if I go with AMD then I'll have an Nvidia GPU and if I chose AMD then its an ATI GPU Which one is really all that better for the value because between the HD4890 and GTX something or other, its only a few FPS total. So overall which would be a better choice? ------------------- I'm too drunk to taste this chicken!

	You can use a Nvidia graphics card with an ATI CPU and a ATI graphics card with an Intel CPU. You wont be loosing/gaining any performance video card wise by using them one CPU over another. -------------------

	Intel if you have the money, AMD if you're on a strict budget. -------------------

	even then, AMD is still a decent choice. remember that if your computer is a gaming rig, then the processor is nowhere near as important as the video card. a nice thing about AMD is their tri cores, if you ever need a compromise between the cheap dual cores and the more expensive quad cores. id only suggest intel if youre going for a powerful gaming rig. AMD: better value for money and higher performance to price ratio Intel: most powerful processors, but at a much higher cost. as for the video card and whether to choose ATI or nvidia, again, if you are on a budget, youll find that ATI is usually better. one 4890 can rival a GTX 275, and two 4890's in crossfire can go head to head with the GTX 295, and still be cheaper. -------------------

	And the 4890's usualy perform better at higher res (unless the game is biased to nvidia) due to the higher ram Spoiler: Crysis Spoiler: S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky And you can find even more But regardless hd4890 is equal to or greater(=>) than a single 295 So if performance wise 4890's but if it's to brag and you plan on upgrading later and don't want to invest in a crossfirex board get a 295 and add another when money permit's (I would still get 4 4890's if going the 4 gpu's route

	SLIing two 295's is rather pointless first off you will not get significant performance gains. secondly i have heard that quadfire or SLIx4 has problems. third issue is money -------------------

	Quad video cards in vista have problems regardless because of the limit on vista... too much to explain but it kills performance in most games. For windows 7 though the problem is fixed. There might be a patch for vista. Four cards scale horribly though haha. If your processor budget is 500+ (currently) then intel is the way to go. For the most part anything lower is better suited to amd's better price/performance but there are exceptions.

	the seventh issue is too bad to be mentioned. the eight issue is that two 295s in SLI would mean a huge bleep YOU! to Crytek, and that would mean no Crysis 3. -------------------
