Opinions on this Effects Rig?

[Fuzzy]

AMD is shit.

Opinion or argument?

Running IV smoothly on all high and 4xAA no problems at all with my HD6870.
(i5 2500K, AsRock Z68 Pro3-M, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3)

As of the arguments above, a single case can hardly oppse global tests by hardware-sites and experts.
Sure, there can be a single case, but who is that going to help? No one.

The AMD alternative runs cooler, uses less power and is generally twice as powerful.

As for Link9rly, I'd support reading and asking at AnandTech or similar hardware-site instead of here.
At least there majority of users there have experience and are experts on computer hardware than users here.

Only thing you proved is that you can run IV and that you think you are a know it all

AMD is shit. Don't buy cards from the 500 series if this isn't a main rig and you want good performance for low prices. Get a GTX 460. They're really good for what they cost on eBay.

Please add facts that prove AMD is shit

Back on topic now
Link the build I posted is very good and you will also get good FPS in games at decent settings

All expected as the GTX 285 is coming up to 4 years old and the 6870 is a little over 1 year old.

But Considering my CPU aint great, RAM aint great, my rig is a better match to the guy I'm comparing my performance in GTA IV.

So please kindly gtfo so me and Aldo can host an intelligent conversation.

Just notifying you two, that the only thing I presented was my own situation - a thing that varies on multiple factors like you said above as well.
Obviously a newer card outperforms an older one, but why are you proving your own sentence false?

The 6870 and the GTX 280 aren't that far apart in performance, lmao.

We are here to help Link9rly to get the best bang for the buck, as that is always what it is all about.
I don't know about you if you have ever worked and where, but I do know what I've learnt, seen and proven in real life after getting educated
to the job, voluntarily taking my own interests towards the market for several years and building hundreds of custom PC's for a living so far.

So I give my apologies for anyone I may have hurt emotionally like I were, but I am here to help Link9rly.
Unfortunately it seems impossible with today's human kind.

I worded myself incorrectly.

I was stating that the GTX 280 had a better performance in GTA IV than the 6870 while running very similar general hardware. I was wondering why.
