I've knowen about this card for a few months. All i'm going to say is the following:

- lolpricing
- lolpower requirements
- lolspeed
- lolprocessing power
- lolVRAM

There we go. It's generally a lol card.

I mean jesus shit. Just 1 of those cards is about as powerful as my fracking pc... I mean seriously... What the hell....

From what I've read it doesn't really give much more than an ATi 5 series but costs a hell of a lot more.

Just reading the latest guru review and yes its a bit slow but taking in account that new drivers are comming out all the time with performance increases here and there could equal the 5970 soon enough. I like the fact that HD movies processing is done on the GFX card, taking it away from the CPU

Yes maybe in time with some new drivers but the point is at the moment it's a tonne of money to spend on something you can get for a lot less. The people that tend to spend this kind of money on a new card aren't the type to wait until the drivers catch up, they want the power now which is what a premium pricetag should give.

I have always been an Nvidia man except for one card.... my one and only radeon. It was when the catalyst drivers first came out.... and i hated them and the card soooo bad i went back to nvidia within WEEKS. I currently have a gtx280 installed and frankly dont see me upgrading that card for a few years more yet... unless i did have £600 to "burn". The ati figures just pee all over the nvidia but maybe by the time im ready to replace my gtx280 nvidia will be back in front again. Untill then i'll be looking into a second dedicated nvidia card purely for the PhysX. Ive heard a nice 9800gtx could easily do this but do i put it in as a seperate card or sli it to get it to work. Maybe with the following 2 weeks off ill be able to get some time to investigate that possibility of a second card.
