If they keep screwing around, ATI will get the jump on them again....this is pathetic. They are gonna regret neglecting the enthusiast market. Wrong time to be making stupid financial decisions but oh well, as OC would say, "it is what it is".

I agree they will soon have to compete with the 5870 refresh AKA 5890 or what ever they call it.....

But we probably will all buy one even if it is released in 2011 ............:ohcrap:

Seriously though I can't wait to have one of these in my hands .....

nV control panel = WIN

5890 with 1000/1300 standard I would assume (just cherry cores most likely) Would be a good move for ati, so they can just focus on their ass drivers.

Fermi is becoming a joke, maybe we will see it by quarter 4?

Anybody got the low-down updates?

Nothing here. everything is so hush hush it makes you wonder if they will even have a card that will be able to compete.

See this is the whole problem...

All the nVidia fanboyism on other forums is going to ruin the company, it was... I am waiting Fermi will pwn... yeah I think they are gonna pwn.... if they don't pwn I am buying an ATI card! and lastly.. ah fark it, anyone have a 5800 series in stock I am tired of waiting.

the (now) 400 series cards do not have to pwn a 5970. The should have released the tech at lower clocks, not geared it as a flagship, and let it mature a bit.. get some freaking new sales coming in... and buy themselves time to develop the platform.

With their driver and game hacks, plus the ACTUALLY ADOPTED features like PhysX and CUDA and the like. The can put out another 260 level card (cuz lets face... not everyone could afford a 28X series card, EVERY nVidia 200 series owner had at least one 260 though). Probably the most popular card on the freaking planet

Put out one of them based on the fermi arch... develop it mature it with drivers... and get enough time to get a 280 or better level card out.

JMHO

Yeah they will prolly pwn but it looks as though ATI is saving the 5890 for when the fermi monster drops. As we know the 4890 pwned the 4870 and I can only assume the 5890 will the 5870.

Regardless.... When they do finally come out one very smart move is the 3d and multiple monitor support that is backwards compatible.... Brilliant!

And as far as Pwn'g... Fermi needs to at least compete, or they will be in trouble.

I totally agree on the 260. IMHO the 260 is one of the best price/performance cards ever produced. I hope they match the same combination in this next series as well. I would much rather spend $500 on each business computer for SLI than $400 for a single card and not be able to run Multi monitors...

I snagged my 5870 because I wanted DX11 now and the Eyefinity was just to strong of a new toy. And I am very pleased with m purchase. I cannot say enough about the Eyefinity experience. Even my wife digs it. She usually uses her Laptop the most, well now she uses my gaming rig to surf... sigh....

I predict they'll release the cards on March 30th.... just a hunch :D
