NVIDIA better release something amazing and cheap.
I think we should affectionately refer to it as "The Slab".
DOUBLE the FPS of a GTX 295 in crysis @ 1920x1200...
sorry nvidia just got pwnt
Nvidia has to do something QUICK before it's too late IMO, more people are switching to ATI by the day.

hey lets compare ATis current cards to nVidia's last gen cards and then act like it's not a completely invalid answer
She sure is a beauty
Here are some detailed spec's.

be a pedantic idiot all you want, it's still much much much much better value and incredibly powerful
God dammit I just got my 5870 too.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;18436111]should probably be around $800 aud (at the most i hope)[/QUOTE]
Well if you convert it from USD to AUD it is $654 AUD so it shouldn't be much more than $700 after shops add retail and all that shit. Eh?

Nope, stuff here gets jacked up anyway. I'm expecting at least $900 AUD here.
I live in Australia...... I know it does go up in price, but the 5850 is only $50 more.

my 8800gt is much better than my friend's old 2400, does this mean nVidia is better than ATi now?
Nope, since the 5970 is much better than your 8800gt. ololol

yeah you're being stupid now. he was comparing both companies newest and most powerful cards. you're now comparing two age different cards
and the 295 and 5970 are age different. the 5___s are meant to compete with the 3__s
but the comparison is valid from a consumer perspective since the 3__s don't exist yet.
You'd have to be clinically insane to purchase one of these in the UK at launch.
Or else have more money than sense.

And yet, I can virtually guarentee you someone's gonna buy and place 4 of them in crossfire almost right after launch.
What kind of cpu would one need to have to not get a signifigant bottleneck on a 5970?
[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;18457087]What kind of cpu would one need to have to not get a signifigant bottleneck on a 5970?[/QUOTE]
Several.
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;18457553]Several.[/QUOTE]
What? That makes absolutely no sense, if you can't actually answer someones question don't just blurt out the first thing that comes to mind.
[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;18458105]What? That makes absolutely no sense, if you can't actually answer someones question don't just blurt out the first thing that comes to mind.[/QUOTE]
You'd need several CPU's to run them in crossfire without a bottleneck.

No, you're the idiot. He's completely right.
