hmm, ati certanly does seem to be churning alot of cards to be working on thier next gen cards :freak:

They want number one that badly..

This will be a really tough one though, since both the GTX 275 and the HD 4890 have relatively the same performance, at this point the performance winner will probably be whomever has the better dual-GPU making process or which has the better drivers.

Or whichever comes out cheaper.. I'm not really caring about this card.. as long as the next gens come out to be better

^ same.

my thoughts exactly,

its way to late in the game to be coming out with a flagship card when the next gen cards are right around the corner.

4 Months for a flagship card...

Not worth the hassle.. if anybody even buys.. and an HD 4770X2 would have been better instead

**** ya, think about that, a $200 card that gets 22-26k 3Dmark06 score, and uses very little power doing so!

but we must wait for the next gen of ati to see a real 4770 (5800)
get it off that 128-bit bus and give it more sp's and clock it 200mhz higher core and ram.

Maybe Sapphire will be doing it for us like they did for an HD 4850X2

Right Sapphire?
