How many of you guys are actually going to order it when it releases? I know I have to wait until I think my Crossfire 4890's is insufficient for HD gaming...
Probably quite a few, a lot of us are due an upgrade. Having said that, it'd be mad not to wait for nVidia's new cards.
Have to agree. Expected somewhere around December aren't they? For the sake of 3 months, wouldn't want to sink £280+ into a card for it for Nvidia to suprize in December. I've got 2x 4890 XXX Editions atm. Going to wait for the 5870 X2 and Nvidia cards before i get one. Fingers crossed all out in December ish time so i got something to spend my christmas bonus on. Although as far as raw gaming power – i think ATi are going to top of this next lot of cards. Tbh like i’ve always done. I’ll buy whatever benchmarks highest according to Bit-Tech review, unless the price / performance ratio is completely ridicules. Similar like when i looked at the 4890 vs 285. 285 was £270 at the time.. The 4890 XXX Edition was £160 on offer.. For the extra £110 i would get 5 odd fps more on average. So went for the 4890.
im looking for a gpu upgrade soon, and im thinking itd be sensible to wait for these to come out considering i get paid at the end of this month, im reckoning a 5870 would handle my 24 inch screen..? or do you guys reckon the market will crash out prices a bit, and itd be more sensible to invest in a solid 4890 or gtx 275?
If amazing frames at 1900 x 1200 I'd probably buy it as I wont need an upgrade for like 3-4 years lol.
im waiting to upgarde, my deadline (lol) is before MW2 is out, I want good framerates and not something similar to when I got my crappy 3850 lol
Im waiting to see what NV through at me... I have dual gtx295 cards and a gtx285 for physx. If the 5870 can beat this I would be supprised. Hell I would be suprised if 3 of these could beat this set up. Andy
5870 3DMark Vantage: Source I don't know about you guys but I'm not really that impressed... I thought it was going to reach the 20K mark, I guess I was hoping for too much.
IMO, I thought it was supposed to stomp the crap out of everything that is out there at the moment. However, the GTX 295 seems to be beating it in most games. I know its only a single gpu against a double but I was expecting better things.
Well it look like the games i play etc i might go for the 295 i was about to get... Then look at the new 300 when the come out.
