ir_cow Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 some of the money goes to good drivers unlike a certain company I use to be all about bang for the buck but man I have little to no problems EVER with nvidia drivers. I did hear AMD has gotten better with Crossfire but Im not going to spend money to find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdm_freek Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) some of the money goes to good drivers unlike a certain company I use to be all about bang for the buck but man I have little to no problems EVER with nvidia drivers. I did hear AMD has gotten better with Crossfire but Im not going to spend money to find out. let me start off by confirming that i have owned about 40 and 90% of then were nvidia. now i continue to hear mumbles from team green about amd's bad drivers and i will tell you with all honestly and zero bias they both have their fair share of issues. and just maybe it is possible that the reason one might only see issues with amd is they tend to listen to some of the more green biased reviews my statement was simple, it is sad that two cards that were released 18 months ago that can be picked up for $400 can outperform an $1000 flagship gpu. dont get me wrong it is a fantastic card but not $1000 fantastic i will keep my 290's and save myself $600 and have superior performance especially at 4k Edited March 23, 2015 by jdm_freek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were getting terrain flickering, BioWare fixed that with patch 5. Crossfire didn't/doesn't do much better than SLI, as the game itself wasn't really optimized for multi-GPU setups, crazy as that sounds. Could even be some aspect of Frostbite or an addition, like SpeedTree, that conflicts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have said: "It is a nice card, but it is not for me." That would have been fine, but you needed to add "i buy two 290 and have more performance", which is not relevant and baits flamewars (as they tend to do on hardware forums and especially since you named a brand of said card). Why do i say it is not relevant? Because it is not the card marketed for you, that is why. Why even bother saying "two cards of x performance is better than this, and it is cheaper too", you and I both know 99% of this forum knows this, but you had to bring it up. Why? Who knows why, maybe to start a flamewar, not my place to say. Also, you say it is not 1000 dollars worth, but it actually is. It is the only card on the planet that has this kind of performance, so they can ask for a premium price since it is aimed for a premium audience. See what i am getting at?
