In my windows computer, I’ve got an Nvidia based 8500GT (silent) 512mb video card. I’ve got some heavier 3D work coming my way, so an upgrade was needed. Still to arrive, is a Gigabyte ATI Radeon 4870HD 1GB. I have always been an Nvidia fan, but 3DS Max, which I need for this particular job, seems to favor the ATI architecture.

So that’s what I’m trying out. It was either that or the Nvidia GTX260 896MB card. Similar pricepoint (though the ATI card in this case has a nice rebate).

So – review and benchmarks coming for this relatively new card.

Interesting results and comments from the users.  Amazing that Autodesk still has the lead that it does (IMO).

Blender FTW!! (For The Win!)
