  lol twist the words any way you want. They will never mean what you want them to mean.
  
  The 7970 came out at 570$ and I didn't think it was a bad value. But at the same time its no 2900XT or 5800ultra.
  
  Right now I do feel Nvidia offers a better value. But their are situations, in very high resolutions and on certain games that AMD performs better. Why you cannot see that Nvidia isn't total domination is beyond me.

  You are correct I did twist them, on purpose.
  
  Thanks for actually noticing. Note also I didn't twist like that in my other posts.
  
  ROFL - your welcome.

  PS- even though twisted, my point is still 100% valid, and negates the whole pile from chizow, so it means exactly what I said it meant, but putting two and two together is not your strong suit.
  
  You went from 5870, skipped the crappy 6970 generation, die shrink, core jump, because it sucked.
  
  You also passed over the overpriced amd 7970.
  
  chizow whines a lot, but you proved him wrong, and used the method I outlined and said most would do and most owning cards have done, not his stupid retentive one upgrade path only dumb as heck complaint.

  Dude, just sell the 560 and get the 670 - you can stop the cheetos binging and 2x2liter nighttime soda guzzling to make up the difference. Ebay is your friend.

  And what's that supposed to prove? There are many games that use HBAO and FXAA, does it mean they are all botched?
  
  Disable them both and run the benchmarks. The difference would be none.
  
  Take unreal 3 for example. Let's say it favors nvidia. If so, then how come bulletstorm runs better on 7970?

  With nVidia card you can just use the upcoming automatic game settings - another gigantic nVidia driver advantage over amd's crap.
  It's getting far too embarrassing to support amd's crap anymore - there are now numerous absolute fails on amd's part.
  It was bad enough when amd didn't pay for PhysX, failed to have openCL in the drivers, had 3 features unchecked in gpu-z that nvidia had covered, failed in DX11 tessellation, was still plagued by the all in wonder corner mouse cursor bug from win98, had no ambient occlusion, cannot support cards going back to the equivalent of nVidia 8 series - but now they're so hammered by so many nVidia advantages beyond all those issues it is embarrassing to the point of humiliating.
  No adaptive v-sync now enabled all the way back for nVidia 8 series
  No frame rate target
  No on the fly power saving adaptive OC.
  No 4th monitor for surfing next to the surround eyefinity triples
  No driver present taskbar centering for triple monitor (addon amd)
  No sneak peek bezel driver support
  ---
  I'll stop because the list is so enormous now - and amd cannot even get working CF drivers going yet for half the games, while nVidia releases with SLI mastery.
  NVidia is in a superior position across the board - price, performance, power, drivers, added features, extra features, game day driver releases, and soon a driver optimizer (June ) that they make with their GPU server farms - actually pumping out the work for the gamer - something the embarrassed amd I guess is entirely absent on - while they fire more and more employees - making any sane person clearly see why the drivers that were already suffering are now even worse.
  AMD needs to be about half the price of nVidia hardware.

  ...except that nvidia can't seem to make more than a few dozen at a time.
  
  It's pathetic that they're pricing the only two GTX600-series cards to undercut AMD, yet they can't seem to build them. Pretty clever marketing gimmick. You price cards so they undercut the competition, and everybody salivates at the prospect of buying one and decides not to buy the AMD card... except they're not really available. Pretty cheap ploy from one of the most hated companies in the business.
  
  I'd be surprised if half of nvidia's board partners didn't go out of business or jump ship to AMD after this supply fiasco.

  This is the 3rd gtx600 series cards, but expecting you to be correct is worse than betting on the broken watch.
  GTX680 at newegg has outsold the entire amd 7870 and 7850 line up.
  Maybe your bean counting should be directed to the corporate pig loser amd ?
  At least with nVidia the partners can unload a million backorders when the supply irons out, and 2.5 months after release amd's finally ironed out... it was pathetic until then, so the very thing you spew about partners bailing already happened to amd right ? I mean let's keep your insane spewing consistent across the competition, why not that would be fair..
  Congratulations on being so incapable of making a point.
  nVidia's partners are counting the backorders and cannot count that high, now they have the even more impressive and winning GTX670 to unload - destroying amd's entire top line.
  What were you saying about nVidia partners ? Did your "unconscious" amd inner fanboy totally go bonkers and into insane projection mode ?
  It's amd partners that are in trouble now.
  LOL

  Do you get payed for nVidia for posting crap like that or do you work at nVidia?
  
  So much idiotic hate towards a company that wasn't cought doing half of the shit, that nVidia did.
