SStreet Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Folks, I'm trying to decide if I should continue to use my Hack with a nVidia 470GTX, or replace it with a ATI5870. Which one is better for the only game that I play, WoW? I'm running most for of the "Good" settings, with Environment and Visual Distance on High; Shadows and Liquid on Low; and Sun Shafts off === for the most part performance is good (60FPS=vsync). But would it be better on the 5870? [system specs in sig] I also ask this as I might pull the trigger on getting a Mac Pro 6core 3.33GHz with the 5870 as well - I'm just nervous about spending upwards of $4000 (US) on a computer.

AirMacPro Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 the ATI5870 is a little better but if you have a 470gtx why spend the money on the ATI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
