Im expecting a launch similar to the GTX-280. Everyone expected it to be the new 8800GTX, and was let down because it wasnt much better then the 9800GX2. But if you look now all those people have forgotten about the reviews and went ahead and bought one.

Im sure its going to be a beastly card, I just dont think its going to overtake the 5870 by much. Same way the 280 was only a little better then the 4870.

AMD will launch an updated 5870 soon after, and Nvidia will have a cooler running refresh of GTX-485 a couple months after launch. Seems like they are just doing "rinse and repeat" a lot lately.
