1) I had used it (ancient video card) on my own but I did not research on ATI at all in past and present.. Due, deaf people forced me to get ATI video card meanwhile I was ignorant & knowledge zero about pc building & stuffs before got nvidia on my own. Due I was followed them, because they said ati is best without explain.
Most likely because you asked a very broad question, or people who recommended the products to you did not do their research very well. It depends on what category ATI video cards are the best; ATI GPUs are excellent at processing AA and AF, and thus will lose the lease amount of fps to processing AA/AF when compared to a nVidia product, especially at higher resolutions. Exceptions do exist, of course, but it's mainly due to game engine programming or bad drivers.
In other words; do your research before spending money.
Why AMD selling processors for lowest decent price then Intel processor?
Because currently AMD doesn't have the most powerful processor on the market. Intel's flagship i7 beats AMD in almost every category. Tell me, if you had money to spend, and compared Intel/AMD processors with each other and found out that Intel processor keeps beating it, which one would you buy? Intel, of course.
AMD sells for lower price because it can't compete in performance, therefore, it has to compete in price. This is why you see Phenom II X6 for ~$250, when Intel's cheapest hexcore (i7 970) sells for $900. Now, if the situation were reversed, you can bet your damn ass that AMD would sell Phenom II X6 for $900 and Intel for $250.
hey should selling amd video card for lowest price if amd processor soldered on video card unit.
lolwut?
CPU (Central Processing Units) and GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) are two completely different systems, meant for completely different tasks. It's like comparing a construction 20-ton truck to a normal car. The only basis they have in common is the fact that both use a engine and four wheels. Same principle applies here.
I don't care ati is best but ati still looks crap to me, imo. AMD video card has lack of feature PhysX nor support multi cards ulike nvidia does.. please prove me if i am wrong.
Hey, whatever floats your boat. Just know that ATI (it's now AMD, cuz they recently discontinued the ATI) makes excellent GPUs.
Also... did you by any chance look at
this? ATI has been able to use multi-GPUs since the 3000 series. Thats from 5 years ago up until now.
The PhysX is true, because PhsyX is a nVidia product and they won't license it to AMD. But point is, PhysX is mostly a marketing gimmik and very few AAA games even support it. The only game that comes to mind who actually used PhysX to great effect was Batman: Arkham Asylum. Mirror Edge was another, but it was poorly done.
2) what... Athlon FX? I haven't heard about Athlon FX.. which one of processor or videocard is for Athlon FX ?
Athlon FX is a processor. This was back in Pentium 4 days, when Intel released Pentium 4, but AMD's Athlon processor beat it in every category, despite being a full 1-1.5 ghz slower. Because AMD's Athlon FX was the most powerful CPU at the time, AMD sold it for
$1000.
1) Once i bought the wrong motherboard which wont support SLI configuration, but support CF only. Grrr, I returned it and exchanged the different motherboard which support sli configs. Now I am more careful when I buy the upgradeable SLI motherboard with specified sli configs.
Which motherboard? As I said, x58 and x55 all natively support CF/SLI. s775 or AM3/AM2+ don't.
2) hardforum is good, but i observed it, they are obsess with MATX and HTC PC stuffs.
True, but they know a lot.
