Radeon 3 9X vs Geforce 9 series.

I'll be the first one to admit I have a bias toward nVidia.

And now I'm going to admit that Maxwell's "color compression" does not make up for a lagging 128-bt bus, nor the paltry 2GB they sought to flagship it under the "enthusiast" category.

I have had two boxes that run SLI for gaming - best one was before it was necessary. I was one of the first owners of a Monster 3D card (anybody remember those?)

I'm not sure who nVidia thinks they are going to fool, but a 4GB, crippled 128-bit bus is not it.

Go all out, and I'll still not buying it.

I don't fork over $200 for an innately, purposefully crippled piece of hardware.
