May 16, 200818 yr Well, I run at 1600x1200, which isn't too far off his resolution, and had the exact same performance issues with ATI vs Nvidia.Kylehttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg Kyle Main Sim PC: P3D v5.2 & MSFS 2020, i9-10850k @ 5.0 GHz, ASUS Maximus XII Hero, ASUS TUF-RTX3080-12G, Dell U3011 30" IPS monitor, G.Skill 32GB 3200 Trident Z 14-14-14, Samsung 512GB 960 Pro NVMe (OS), Samsung 2TB 970 EVO NVMe (Sim), Win 10 Pro 64, Yoko Yoke, Saitex Combat Rudder Pedals, Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant
May 16, 200818 yr hi Ray, Sargeski,check out the info. in the following article concerning the 3800 series cards. this may explain the lousy performance with the 3870's in FS. not detailed at all but something i didn't know about b4 reading this article. http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/37093/135/ happy flyin, fm
May 16, 200818 yr Moderator Interesting. I see they're still sticking with a 256-bit bus. Perhaps the 384-bit of the 8800GTX/Ultra will remain a one-off.Can't see me swapping unless the 4870X2 is seriously faster and no more than 250UKP. Ray (Cheshire, England).

May 16, 200818 yr I have been a bit disappointed with ATi since I last tested for them. The last 2 cards they sent me were not the same design as the release product and as such the one I tested would always perform better that the one on the market. I account that to several things but foremost it allows them leeway in reporting independent test results and making up the marketing BS. I tested a 55nm card last May that was in my opinion a hot product but it never saw the light of day in production. Nvidia has had open season on BS incremental releases because there is no pressure in competition. I hope things finally get back to normal however the real money is in OEMs and reducing things down to a C/GPU on one chip for multiple applications and given AMD/ATi have that design/manufacture ability I have a feeling they are no longer going to be focusing their primary engineering on high performance game cards, at least as much attention as it should get.the real dollars in their merger is not in game cards or anything like that
May 17, 200818 yr The GPGPU (general purpose GPU) is where we're going. All three (INTC, AMD and NVDA) all see it coming. Intel is struggling with cuzz they make CPUs, Nvidia has power users already using 128 "core" 8800 GPUs as purely processing addons, but AMD is the Only one that has both the x86 format AND GPU technology down cold. It's a flat out race. Who's gonna win?Buy AMD. Right here, while they appear to be flat on their kiester ... Not the card, the stock. Then blow it out and retire in 5-7 years. Intel will have caught up by then.
