Found this link

I am hoping this means it will show up in the United States soon .....

AT 408 Euro's looks like this beast will reatil around $ 522.00

Anybody have any links to it's preformance ?

uk prices are always bloated......

plat edition..hmmm prolly just a marketing term...

[Witchdoctor]

Doe no Honda ....

But it is an interesting prospect if it can be tweaked as advertised

two 8 pins so there is a lot of juice to utilize .....

Wonder if the GPU's have been binned for these cards ?

the 5870 matrix is the same matrix 5870.....the platinum edition moniker is just for marketing

In the unboxing video the guy said not to use the power adapters.... I think in this case he may be wrong....

Look at them closely, they are 2 x 6 pin ==> 1 x 8 pin adapters.... not molex.

I think that would actually be better than just 2 x 8 pin, since you can add more rails to the card on big multi rail psu's...

Card is a sexy bitch though...

Unfortunatly so will the 480 be in the third quarter .....

Hardware value is the only points any card will count for in the end .....

I understand what you are saying but do not look at the globals that close, it does get you reconition but in the end they are all hardware points once next gen rolls out .....
as it stands if you look at the hardware value of a 480 ... it is disturbing at best
and a finacial disaster for nV at worst ......

Plus to compete for serious Global you must be on Ln2

Not quite there yet but am doing some home work. I may get there sooner rather than later so I can roll in the Global battle ..... Looks like a ton of fun .....

I am torn though 480 or 5870 .... me wants the 480 but the numbers say Matrix.

Got my dice pot after I sold off my 5870 so I could never hardly compete with it ....

It would be nice to max out my 5870 numbers as there is a ton of Hardware points to be had for the team and it is the third most popular card in the history of the BOT

I may end up flipping a coin FTW ............
