maayong buntag mga taga istorya..i need your help guys on this..my mind is in the state of confusion...mao ni ako dakong problema... ako gamit na graphics card karun kay SAPPHIRE ATI 6970.. ako ni cya na gamit almost 3 months na.. nag plano ko mag ilis graphics card pero nag libog ko kung unsa ako pili.on... reason why mag ilis ko graphics card tungod sa CATALYST sa ATI na bati ingon nila..naa ko kaila nag update sa catalyst ang epekto na RMA nu.on iya 6870..dli ko ganahan matabo ni sa ako 6970.. dri ko naglibog:1. AKO ILISAN AKO 6970 TO GIGABYTE GTX 570 WINDFORCE?2. PABILIN KO GAMIT SA AKO 6970? 3. ASA NINDOT 6970 OR 570? (wla pa ko kasuway gamit NVIDIA cards)ako ra gamit sa graphics card is purely gaming..usahay try2x nako mga benchmark but i dont OC graphics card..PLEASE ADVICE..salamat ninyo...

1. overall performance between the 570 vs 6970 will be almost the same. 6970 are more power efficient than 570
2. based on my answer on (1), i see no other reason to spend and change videocard, unless maybe if the other one is better built or has better cooling or maybe it suits ur theme. i dont think drivers kill videocards, basin there was something else that killed your friends 6970, bad psu maybe?
3.between 6970 and 570, since they're both basically even on performance(depends on game used),i would choose 6970 for better power efficiency.

this is my honest opinion...

Nag upgrade ko Catalyst from 11.1 to 11.2 to 11.4 to 11.5a, wala ko'y problema sa akong 6870, if wala ka na experience na problem bay and mag base lang ka sa ingon nila, why change? Naa mo ikapalit, pero practicalay nalang, sayang gihapon sa kwarta. Makaya paman kaha sa imong card ang imong games na pirme duwaon?

Reklamo ko sa drivers sa ATI before, pero karon medyo arang2x naman, medyo paspas napud ilang pag release ug updates.

Performance wise mura'g pare-pareho ra sila, if I can recall correctly. (nag basa2x ko'g reviews kay I'm kinda on the same boat )

Maayo raman ni nga decision-making (6970 vs 570) if wala pa ka'y card, but since naa na ka'y 6970, I'd say stick to that nalang. Malugi ra ka ug mu switch ka to 570 para lang sa imong mga reasons kay of course, ibaligya na nimo imong 6970 at a cheaper price, then palit ka 570 which I believe is more expensive than 6970, little to neglectable performance change imong makit-an.

So to answer your question (opinion-based ni):

1 No.
2 Yes.
3 Depends.

I remember one time ni mention ka mu change ka ug video card to save kuryente, binoang or not, note lang na mas power hungry ang 570.
