A single HD4870 as fast as the HD3870X2 for $250 AND low power requirements. Where do I sign up?!

Although I have a NVIDIA card I would like to see some competition the price structure looks good

I hope these reports are correct because, TG have their ways of placing falsified news and misleading news.

I seriously doubt nVidia will be able to produce anything good enough to compete with this. I mean, they will, but it will cost well over $300...

All I'm gonna say is this: Expectation management. The 2900 series generated as much buzz as this, as did the 38 series. I hope these cards rock, but....expectation management.

So nedless to say i am pretty mad as intel is jipping my friend of his nanometers, so now his cpu will not be as good as my q6600, which is bad. Intel used to give people like a whole 130 nanometers but lately they are being very stingy and are not giving us their nanometers so our cpu's are not as good.
