hey-oh thanks for the text OCGMJ, good looking out witchie

Show of hands, who's pulling the trigger on this 500 buck monster?

Wish I could swing it just got rid of my 5870 so I could grab a 4870 and a 260/216

Holding out for the 480 ......

:thumbdown: Wish I could though. It will be sold out soon.

I'm in for one... Now have 3 - 5870's :ohcrap:

i'm concentrating on 2d..at the moment if all is well for my 2d..my 3d scores will follow...this looks delicious :D i'm also awaiting gtx480 results

nice find :D

GPU's are just costing to much :(

GPU's are for sure what makes it hard to be a bencher. But damnit I still love when tech comes out whether I can get it or not :clapping:

The Empire has this new weapon en route...the bot system shall once again suffer our wrath!

Tell me about it! I'm waiting for the 480 I think! :shock:

The only thing disturbing bout that is if fermi is like all of the recent 55nm green stuff, it won't oc for shit, ie no voltage control. The lightning is built for LN2:muaha:

o yea brother ..... I hope to pick one up second hand in a few months to play with.

Just can't take a half a K hit right now.

Thinking 5890's will hit the streets about a month after the 480's ???

I would like to be a fly on the wall in the AMD conference room to see how they play their hand

Already on its way :thumbsup:

SIck Dent .... can't wait to see how it preforms ....

I agree with Rom .... just made for the cold ...

Man I'm jealous. Make sure to post up some screenies as well as pics of the card for us po-folk.

:wt:

Gift card :thumbsup:

good deal jor

Be sure to post up max air clocks when it arrives, I'm very curious about the allure to gaymers. If its not attractive, the prices will come down later.

I got one...i wanted to wait on the matrix but just couldn't stand it....Plus i need a lift

I thought the ones they were showing and testing were 2gb???

Yeap I will try to max this out on air first, if it struggles to pass my ordinary $370 Asus HD5870 around 1100/1300 on air it will be a POS.

An thats what I want to know.

Are VGA's like CPU's though. Shitty clocks on air can mean HUGE clocks sub zero?

if its pos sell it to us jor :D hahahaha

You dirty little @&%$@#^%@$^%@$^%@$ :D

Uh oh, Lightning strikes twice :D

epic heatsink plate :) perfect for strapping the pot on.

do you guys know if this card has a coldbug?

Did you look at the "overclocking" page of that review ... pretty crappy results.
I hope they really come alive under cold.

If it OC's like crap it'll go back.

I don't plug into any of these reviews these review sites post. They are crap!!! Sure they cover the basics of the card good but usually never cover the overclocking aspect well. Only reviews I plug into are results from members of forums.

wow ........... I want one ...................... :shock:

I particularly hate techpowerup. They list a con on all Ati card reviews as "No CUDA/Physx. No shit, they're nV licensed functions lol.
