I'll take it for free lol.

Those are some amazing figures.

ATI profits are going to go up soon.

Then when the nVidia cards come out, they will have a huge bump.

It will just like the release of the 4870 against the 280.

Looks loke the 5870 kicks my GTX280 ass. I might have to get one or I might wait for a 5890.

 

[monkey7]

Uhhh do want.

Need to wait for some money on my bank account though, will have to wait at least a few months.

im gonna wait till 5870x2 comes out, by that time i will have enough moolah for it, so i can finally replace my 3870x2.

Monies? Dosh? Reddies? Wonga?

Probably gonna cost over £400 squids. You can buy a TV for that price.

Or half of an i7 975 extreme...just think what people spend their money on... the hipocracy of what I just said hasn't been lost by the way...

mhmm 5870x2... going to stay away from duel cards/sli/crossfire, fell into that trap with my old 7950gx2 and my dual 4850''s

I don't think the result are valid because when you look at some game. the engine with either lean on ATI or Nvidia architecture. So pretty much they have to do some benchmarks with ATI and Nvidia architecture. so it more valid

Still impressive, and if good enough, I may have to go for one of these new cards.

My only concern...and a big one..

Will i see a massive improvement whilst still running a 775 rig, or will I need to go for i7....

 

[Muntai]

nice card

I could have one soon

get a large cache/big clocking chip and you shouldnt see much difference imo, like a q9450/9550

e8500 at 4.2ghz?

the 9450's and 9550's have 12 mb cache, and -should- get to around 3.7-4+
