if the ATI 4995X2 can beat the 295s I just might change my cards come September, being that I can get ATi cards that very very very cheap prices.

ATi needs to get back in the game quick and compete head to head with Nvidia on all fronts, that way us consumers will get the best deal, competition is the best thing for consumers

hmm...I WILL have to get a 4890x2 when they come out with it. Then I guess I'll just pass the 4870x2 down to an older comp or sell it to a friend.

The great thing is that these cards out perform the GTX series and are $100 less at least in the case of the 4890 that is. Gotta love that $199-$249 price tag!

I think the both the 4870x2 and the 295gtx will be a steal when the prices drop

Well, by most bench marks the 4875x2 runs a dead heat with the 295, different gamers give each card a lead on a case by case but overall they perform roughly the same. So I would HAVE to say that a 4890x2 will take a clear lead...at which point Nvidia will sandwich two 285s together to make another bigger version of the 295 and the cycle continues. Just my opinion anyways.

it is a never ending cycle, each come out with a card that beats the other company and to nobodies suprise the other company does the same. It all boils down to each persons preference. But looking forward to the price drop!!!

Except Nvidia rarely comes out with a "New" card. It just keeps using the G92 core since the 8800GTX. Shameful... |

Lol uhh? How about when the 4870x2 beat everything nvidia had? So they rebranded the G92, AGAIN. http://www.overclock.net/hardware-news/465934-inq-nvidia-s-big-dishonesty.html Edited by PatrickB - 24 Feb 2009 at 11:21pm |

Yes i agree! We, consumers, need competition in the video card market. ATI needs to build great quality products, at reasonable prices to drive down the prices of Nvidia cards. I'd love to get DUAL SLI GTX 280's, but I can't bring myself to spending sooo much money. lol
