it seems NVidia still hasn't learned when to change a products name and when to keep it the same.

Hopefully this means the prices of the Radeon 4870 decreases.

Buying this, was holding up until they released it. Finally after about 6 months I can finally phase out the biggest bottleneck in my system.

Finally have a true high end gaming PC.

Did I mention that I had to put up with graphics artifacts, overheating, BSOD's and other crap on a near-daily basis with this card?

LOL. All this coming from the guy with a 3870. If you bothered to read the reviews, you would know the OCX version of this card gets almost exact performance of a GTX280. And when considering you can overclock it higher...
