    4870 looks so good. Definitely must have. Not a GTX guy after knowing the specs for it. Oh and I’m not dumb :)

    AMD Revamp indeed. I think NVIDIA can throw in the white flag now.

  12. PCTechNerd June 24th, 2008 9:10 PM

    I’m just seriously amazed by all the features and specs. And then those AA methods against CSAA. Haha CSAA is history
