Shadow Shading

While NVIDIA graphics cards may have a little more power to them, AMD graphics cards will (most likely) always be a half step behind them for a fraction of the price. Also keep in mind that because AMD are serious competition for NVIDIA, they have been a major factor in driving NVIDIA prices down. So overall, NVIDIA will carry the title in performance for a higher price tag over AMD.

Going into slightly more detail, both brands have their pros and cons, and the one that is best for you is generally going to vary depending on what you intend to use the computer for and what your budget looks like. Typically, if you are going for a performance or gaming rig with a budget of around $700 or more, I would suggest getting an NVIDIA card.

Anything below that and I would look into the cheaper alternative, AMD. However, all cases vary from card to card so take the time to look at both brands in that price range and decide if you'd like a slightly lower price or slightly higher performance.

It's like you completely ignored the last part just so you could laugh about how the OP uses an AMD card and be an ass about it.

I actually use a NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti overclocked at 900 MHz.

Regardless, Fire Bird is making stupid assumptions.

Agreed

Anyways, the point isn't just that some people can't run them even though they should - kompressor stated a while back that if you could run Blockland before the update, you can run shaders.

Badspot should continue to apply fixes and support for other cards. Afterwards it would be nice to see some more additions to the shaders. I remember someone else suggesting this, but I can't remember if kompressor or Badspot said anything about it. It would be cool.

i can do this all day.

my point is that, while cheaper, AMD hides dead cores in their processors and Graphics chips.

Really? That was your point on the other page? Wowee! You must be some sort of time traveler, because when you posted this:

AMD card.

oh god, my sides!

I did not read this:
