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

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

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

Not this Rom, not sure bout fermi. I am sure that the lightning sucks with this AB and its current bios. Prepped it properly, got ABE installed and no voltage control.
Still pushed thru a vantage at 1250 on the core with 1.14v so if I ever get votage control, this card looks promising. Pics are the only thing I got out of the mini-session, que sera.
