Yeah, given them to tech sites under an NDA. I'm sure they knew they would be leaked, but every day that Nvidia doesn't have the specs and benchmarks is time they don't have to produce a card to beat it.
I'm just hoping NVIDIA comes out with some crazy shit so we get a big price war.
skipping this generation, perfectly happy with my 4870 512MB still
[QUOTE=dtoporowski;17324305]yeah, but you don't know what NVIDIA's going to strike back with. They are not that dumb.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.semiaccurate.com/2009/09/15/nvidia-gt300-yeilds-under-2/[/url]

oh lol, hardocp always gets shit from other sites. Give me another source, not a source of a source :P

Also, prove it's biased. 2% is sad, would you say the same if they wrote "But I'm sure it'll get better soon!" in the article? Admittedly, it probably will get better, but damn, 2%.
The 2% return article is ancient, and it caused a huge delay into 2010 for the GT300 series. **EDIT** Nevermind the rest of what was here, I'm retarded.
you idiot its semi-accurate!
[QUOTE=AesoSpadez;17328273]The 2% return article is ancient, and it caused a huge delay into 2010 for the GT300 series. When it gets here though, Nvidia claims it'll do 3 TFLOPS, compared to the 5870 at 2.7 TFLOPS (and they say they'll do it for $20 cheaper, too). We'll just have to wait and see.[/QUOTE] Sauce?
Here's the delay article [url]http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1052025/gt300-delayed-till-2010[/url] And nevermind the above post, I'm retarded. I was mixing up two different 300 series models. Rate me boxes.
Wow 1 on its own even beats the mighty 4870x2
[QUOTE=Arsonist;17328464]Wow 1 on its own even beats the mighty 4870x2[/QUOTE] One on its own beats the fucking GTX 295 in most cases.
[QUOTE=AesoSpadez;17326741]Yeah, given them to tech sites under an NDA. I'm sure they knew they would be leaked, but every day that Nvidia doesn't have the specs and benchmarks is time they don't have to produce a card to beat it.[/QUOTE] So what, at this point it hardly matters. If they were leaked a couple of months ago I would agree with you, but with only another week or so until release it really doesn't make any difference.
If money was no object I'd get one... and a new mobo and ram and an i7. But hey I'm happy with my 4870. I don't play many games that require a whole lot, and my 4870 can handle anything just fine. So unless games start to require specs similar to what Crysis requires, I'll stick with my current rig. I don't have Crysis anyways, securom is too much of a turn off (securom is on the steam version too)
Fuck you, Dad. I'm telling you, I can put a computer together! No, it's not that hard! Yes, you are stupid! What? I'm happy with what I have, I'd be happier with this though! Oh, I'm grounded. Nice. Anyway, I'd get one if I could.
my fx5700 is better than that, skipping this generation LOL! I'm kidding. New build this Xmas, going to get a i7 860 and this!

holy shit, then what type of monster is the 5890/x2?!?!?
Pft, try 5870 Eyefinity Edition x2. :am:

[QUOTE=Caps lock;17309820]Why would you even need such an incredibly high resolution? I'm perfectly happy with 1280*1024.[/QUOTE] Because some of us work with our LCD's rather than just slave away on games, desktop space is a premium and catalyst for productivity. [editline]02:37PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Xplodzion;17336213]That's pretty old, I think it's $400 for the 5870 now :argh:[/QUOTE] With the performance they posted I bet it'll launch at $450-$500 just because they can. They've already latched onto the market with their low price point of the last generation and so they have a foothold and now have the ability to raise their prices and still maintain a large customer base. I think I'm going to hold off upgrading for another generation myself, there isn't a game I want to play yet that can't be trumped by current hardware.
My 8800GT is feeling inadequate.
[QUOTE=Split3ndz;17336664]My 8800GT is feeling inadequate.[/QUOTE] My 8800GT is going to be replaced soon :biggrin:
[QUOTE=Split3ndz;17336664]My 8800GT is feeling inadequate.[/QUOTE] That card was inadequate when it was released.
[QUOTE=he-did-it-->;17337738]That card was inadequate when it was released.[/QUOTE] No...not really.
8800 ULTRA is still fast, overclocked (really high) its better than the 9800 GTX apparently
Well done ATi. I want one of these :fuckyou:
[QUOTE=It.;17310045]$299 for 5870, brah.[/QUOTE] Wow, that's not even THAT expensive. I mean, it's the fastest card avaible (except 5870X2) and it's just 300$? That's amazing!
