This + review performance of the 4870X2 could be the last hurrah for ATI/AMD, coupled with Nvidia's negative quarterly performance we could see much more increased competition at least on the GPU side.

Q3 2011!!! (thats a guess lol) its a few years out by looking at it. Still you never know with blizzard. Though its gonna drive me nuts that the bodies vanish after a few seconds they they did in that demo....Hell even in D2 the bodies stayed at least till you left the screen...why do they vanish now?! I HATE that stuff!!

I think AMD is on the right track. In less than 2 yrs they are competing/beating nvdia's hottest card, and partnering with a software co that makes games that are ALL hugely successful and still makes money years later.
to AMD.I run aQX9650 and 8800gtx'soc in sli Im not a fanboy but it seems they are making sound bussiness moves IMO |
