Little ridiculous don't ya think $6000 of hardware (Nvidia GPU)

Hey guys don't you think this is a little ridiculous that is about $6000 of hardware.

NVIDIA cards are better for BitCoin mining. AMD just offers better performance for the price.

Bahahahaha! The GTX 680 is a much more efficient card, and will beat the 7970 under the same specifications. It actually provides nearly the same performance with worse specifications. The 7970 just offers the same relative performance for a smaller price tag... the GTX 680 is the fastest single-GPU card in existence, other than the GTX 780, of course :-)

I am no fanboy. I like AMD, I like NVIDIA. But NVIDIA has more efficient cards that perform better at the same specifications. AMD offers less efficient cards that perform better at the same price.
And this thread becomes a debate over what cards a better for bit coin mining!
What is bitcon mining? Because this thread has seem to become another thread about it.

The 6000 series didn't have good power:performance ratio.

You guys are basically saying Nvidia is better but ATI/AMD or whatever is better for Bitcon mining.

the nerve

Their review examples, he's sponsored by nvidia. Titian hasn't been released yet. It's being released on 25th.

No, you are a fanboy idiot. CUDA is way better for folding or just bitcoin mining in general.
