Will ATI or NVIDIA win your buy? 23 members have voted

As an owner of a GTX 295, and a person that's seen it in action, I can tell you it is the single fastest card on the market. It can withstand core temps exceeding 85C, run INSANELY high stresses, and with 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a q9550 processor can play Crysis on ultimate settings with high resolutions with minimal lag.

I think that NVIDIA will definitely have the most powerful card, but at what cost? Sure the GTX 295 is the fastest single card on the list, but its power consumption and price are insane. I would like to see NVIDIA release another "8800 GT", but NOT another G92 knockoff... NVIDIA's whole rebranding and core renaming scheme really distanced me from them.

 

That said, I believe that NVIDIA will have the faster card on the market, but not the best high-end price/performance ratio I'm looking for. That is unless they prove me wrong.

 

@ReGIONALS Nice to see another OCN member. xD

A GTX 295 is cheaper than buying a gtx260 and gtx280 separately, so no, its a waste of money. Sure, the 8000GTS series is the most economical, but I can't cram 3-4 of them in my case, but I can fit one 295 in my case for 100-150 more.
