Which one would run the almighty Crysis at higher frame rates at highest setting as possible?

this is the battle between ATI's fastest card versus Nvidia's fastest card.
i'd go with 350 all the way. we probably finally could run Crysis at least 60fps with highest setting as possible on DX10 with GTX350

Nvidia and its not called GTX 350 :D

Dont know how fast exactly, but Crysis runs smooth as @ 1080p Very High

I won't believe it until the card is actually out. Consider the number of times that fake claims were made about "future" cards performance.

Nice piece of fiction this is. Somebody make this a sticky.

How about GTX350 vs 5870x2 ;-)
It's better to compare two dream cards than one dream card and one real...

5870 is due Q1 2009 so I would guess 5870x2 will be also Q1 or Q2 max.
What is GTX350 and when is it expected ?

I'm going to make my own video card out of peas and carrots. It will be faster than your dream cards after it is overclocked.

The carrots draw too much power though - celery is a better choice.

Reply to cjl

Celery doesn't overclock as well, it gets soggy at 6Ghz. Besides I'm going for performance, screw the environment.

What about Fusion version 2 ? it will have 4 built in 6870 gpu cores with 4 Phenom3 cores ! Next step up from there will be freaking skynet chips man ! Then its Game Over man !

Yes I agree, 5870 is due Q1 2009 based on announcements. GTX350 was still a myth. No announcements yet. 4870X2 is due next month, but already exist for engineering sample as of this time, no doubt it is the current fastest card available.

What happened to Fusion version 1?

The rumored GTX350 is so impractical there is no way it will be made anytime soon

It's so impractical Nvidia probably has engineering samples that come with an onboard PSU and requires it be plugged directly into the wall socket.

Actually, they'll probably just buy out all the 4870x2's and slap on a few stickers and charge us 900 USD for it. the Nvidia fanboi's will drown them in praise for making such an amazing card and Crysis will release a new patch which optimizes gameplay on ATI cards. All of a sudden the mythological GTX350 will hit 60 FPS in crysis on very high and the ATI 4870x2 will do the same.

The ATI people will laugh and laugh because they paid $400 less and the Nvidia fanboi's will be blown away by the performance of their new "nvidia" card.

Should we use nuclear power for this cards or wait until cold fusion is perfected?

Seriously, comparing two cards that don't exist is quite difficult and meaningless.

Is the 4870 x2 out yet? I haven't heard anything about it.

They have send a dozen or so samples to hardware sites for previews, should launch at August

The GTX 350 has a hamster wheel attached to the card by the PCIe plugs. I have had the cards a week and went thru 5 hamsters.

I guess urine and Electricity don't mix. My house smells of burnt hair.

Yeah, I've got a direct feed from the power grid. Gets my ATvidia PheForce Radore Duo X4 HD 9955.02 to 10 GHz easy. And it just takes a water main from Anarctica to cool the whole case. But with global warming and all I have to add a bit of liquid Nitrogen every so often. Crysis runs buttery smooth @ 2560 x 1600, 8xAA, 16xAF. I feel sorry for all you noobs.

This guy is just polluting the forums. I just got a brand new 6870 X856...2thz core, 270gb memory @ 15e100hz memory...and 10 trillion shaders. It only uses 2 Mega Watts of power, not too bad as the electric company just gives you a massive service instead of your tiny 100 amp panel. Maybe this will play Crysis...... Maybe i should start a hypothetical garbage post about it and start a big fire........ -100 to Concrum,

No. They are too busy storing jiggawatts to power their GTX 350's

We don't even know if this "350 GTX" even exists or not. Too me the specs sounds way off, too good to be true. Even if its true, why did NVIDIA name it "350 GTX" instead of "380 GTX"? Who knows?

Reply to John Vuong

I still think my 6870 X856 PWNS ALL. Crysis on 100 30" monitors. Ya, i got em, better than my Tri SLI GTX 350...I forgot to mention i have a few of those too. I only get 2 30" screens with Crysis playing at smooth frames.... :D

I have a space shuttle regularly bringing in shipments of ice crystals that I buy of ET on Jupiter. With that I can bring down core temps to a 165c idle.

My gtx 350 was a bargain too... made a deal with nvidia and it only cost me a hundred grand a dead ATI marketer.

Ape, do the box has that relaxing printing of words "Don't panic" ? ;)

Reply to duzcizgi

Ape, double improbability drive will manage to power and improbable GFX card, I guess. :P (Zaphod would think so. :P )

Reply to duzcizgi

Ape, but you should be careful with it:

"An earlier attempt at using the improbability drive, Starship Titanic, was also mentioned. In theory, the infinite improbability drive would make it infinitely improbable that anything would go wrong. It was not successful, however, ending in a "Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure." This was because, in these earlier times when the nature of improbability was less well understood, it was not appreciated that any event that is infinitely improbable will, by definition, occur almost immediately."

Reply to duzcizgi

Actually it's the manual that has Don't Panic printed on the back; the box has a few lines of Vogon poetry to keep away the mildly curious.
