Topic: YOU BASTARDS YOU MADE ME KILL KENNY(NVIDIA) (Read 1789 times)
All my current GPUs are nVidia, but i may drag my old ATI cards out of retirement for a while for this.
Yeah I used to always go with Nividia, but now I have a stack of ATI cards lol....
Love my nvidia...had ATI long ago still debating on a switch or not...gtx 285 here
I use to like ATI back around 2000-2003 until I got Radeon 9800 Pro that was DOA, The seller took no responsibility for it so I had to deal with ATI directly. And sent the card back at my expense to get replaced. Was around $40 to send it. Got there and they said nothing was wrong with it and that I had to pay return postage of $30 and $80 for wasting there time. Which I was really pissed off about since the card was 100% DOA and I tested it in 3 computers but payed it any way since I at least wanted the card back. When I got it back they sent me some one elses card, A Radeon 9800 SE and they refused to send me my 9800 Pro saying the SE was just as good. So swore off them and had been Nvidia ever since and buying a new card every 2 years until I got my AMD cards this year.
Still would prefere Nvidia since I hate catalyst but there cards just arnt up to my needs at this point.

huge nivida fan.. was disappointed when a friend of mine got a 5770. It's not a bad card but you know i get calls like "how do i make this physx crap work wth my ati" and i sigh. But then mining came along, and his stupid little pos 5770, kicks my nvidia all over the place... and i sigh again.
I really wonder why ATI performs so much better at hashing then NVIDIA.
Even NVIDIAs supercomputing card the Tesla C1060 is only said to produce 52.5 Mhash/s.
Anybody gave the TESLA C2070 a try? What did you get?
Anyone has any explanation why ATI does so much better?
Could it be that miners use OpenCL and the OpenCL implementation on NVIDIA sucks?
Has anyone tried a native CUDA miner?

as i understand it it comes down to pure architecture differences, now im no chip geek so dont blast my ignorance too much
ati has thousands of simple cpu "like" processors that arent dedicated to doing any one thing (stream processors)
nvidia went down another path "specialisation" they have different part of the gpu to do differeent things. requiring more gpu cycles
i know thats clear as mud, but thats my simple understanding
5 posts damn feel like i need to whore myself some
hehe

I've been nvidia since Riva128 and now Im running a 5830 with a 6950 on the way. So hi I'm lnxgod , I am on irc allot as thorne or lnxgod.
not sure what else to say

I've been also preffering nvidia for very long time. high end nvidia cards were at the top of the list for folding and other distributed computing projects..
but now, this bitcoin mining is very good for ati
LOL, the world of Bitcoins has no room for ignorant fanboyism.

What's that supposed to mean ? Are you saying people on this thread are gay ?

Yep, same here. Was doing FP GPGPU stuff before bitcoin came around,
and liked NVidia much more (more stable, better drivers and very specifically:
much better precision with floating point stuff than ATI).
But the integer performance of the red GPUs is killer. I'd be willing
to bet that at this point, bitcoin is starting to affect the NVidia vs ATI
sales ratio.
I doubt it. Any gamer worth his/her salts will know Nvidea is what you want for gaming. And PC gamers no doubt outnumber BTC/NMC miners many times over.
Judgiing by what MoonShadow said, I am now free of this area, 29 posts and 4 hours 12 mins lurking
See ya, wouldn't want to be ya

Yeah, I recently invested in an nvidia card - but now that I've discovered bitcoin I'm eager to swap it out. Been looking everywhere for (well priced) 5850s or 6990s to no avail...
I used to by all nvidia until January-ish, when I was in the market for a new gaming card. I got "lucky" and decided to get an ATI since the 5850's were out performing the GTX260 for a sightly lower price. A few months later, I started to mine BTC and realized how big that decision was. Now I pretty much have a crossfire system paid off because of that.
When did you start mining?

Welcome. Whatever you say, keep saying it. You need 5 posts in the newbie section and four hours of lurking before you get posting privilages beyond this section.
