I know. I’ve been wanting this for a long time. Had flickering problems.
Extremely great review as usual. Silver sounds about right
wiseguy272 replied on June 19, 2008 4:54 AM:
Yeah. I saw silver and was happy it wasn’t gold. Gold is really for the really really good ones.
Wow, nice
Great exclusive review. Love it
Woah a teraFLOP. That’s insane!

I know right? I remember it took like a whole room of freaking computers to do that just in the 90′s.

Teraflop is an immense step up. NVIDIA is still way below that. And only at 110W. NICE
Nice stuff
AMD isn’t joking around. Cinema 2.0 was a disappointment, but this is right on the money.

Yeah. I’ll count you on that. They really did push through this time. Applause is needed
Full DX 10.1 support. Count me in. Going to wait for the 4870 review, might buy that
Seriously impressed. Silver is really damn good.
Very impressed here. Might buy this. Waiting on more stuff.
Wow wow wow wow. Nice. Read an unofficial review elsewhere, but this one I like.

Same here. Was some dude who got it from a site. But it’s out in the best buy I’m at. Going to buy one soon =D
This is definitely better than the 65nm GTX 200 architecture. NVIDIA played it safe this time. Sad
Monolith2001 replied on June 19, 2008 3:28 AM:
This is 55nm according to the review. Smaller is more scalable. Way way better
BF works at best buy and sneaked one of these out. We currently have it
Does what it says
NVIDIA lost. End story
Monolith2001 replied on June 19, 2008 3:28 AM:
Seriously
And NVIDIA goes down hard Wham
Monolith2001 replied on June 19, 2008 3:26 AM:
Yeah definitely
NVIDIA = owned. Definitely. GDDR5>GDDR3
Awesome review. Thanks 4 this
Cool stuff. Got this from Gizmodo AU.
I like what I see. Better than my friends 8800GTX? He can play crysis high on 1024x. This is all I need.
As a serious enthusiast like the rest of you, can’t disagree. NVIDIA sucks this time
Read right now.
I really knew they would come through to this card.
Thanks you,
Vash
K.O. NVIDIA
Yeah. These specs just make me want 4870. Going to buy this though. $199 can’t be beat.
Going to buy this for my MMO experience. Thanks WhatIf
