Heh. That's good to hear. I hope they come out USB 3.0, I9s, and light peak (correct me if I'm wrong). Now with new improved graphrene transistors. Ahh, very exciting. Man.....I pray prices drop even faster when all those new things come out by the time I come back home. Just hearing I9 whisper in my eye give me the goosebumps >< ahhh!

forget that article we already discussed it, I don't see any tests there, we don't have the final product, and it has run dx11 already, so I don't see why it would not support it.

lets wait for the cards to come out and lets see what they really are.

I love nvidia but they have embarrassed themselves with this one, the trillian is nothing but a 5870 with 6 ports, the performance is the same tho, so its great for people that want to run more then 3 monitors.

Aye, but it has 2gb of vram, and I'm guessing thermal performance will improve slightly cause that stupid vga port which blocks 1/2 the exhaust is gone.

2G of vram will help wiht gta4 but most games will be fine with 1GB. I doubt you gonna notice any performance difference, might run a degree or 2 cooler.

its a great option to have for those that have a use for it

I don't necessarily love Nvidia , But I have always preferred them over ATI. When ATI came out with the Eyefinity. I had to give it a try. and I just cant go back to anything other that multi monitor. That's why I was pretty stoked about my old favorite nVidia supporting surround.

I'm not waiting anymore

I'm looking to spend the money I had saved for this as we speak.

I don't really think It will be anything earth shattering anyway. and I can understand something getting delayed. but this whole PR dangling the carrot in front is ridiculous . I might of felt different if they were just like... hey, were having some problems sorry. we will give information on whats going on as we get it. Not this "Are you ready" Well Duhh. what kind of question is that . to heck with that . I usually only get the opportunity to spend this kind of money once a year . and it's burning a whole in my pocket. I believe there just stalling now . I bet there having some serious issues.  and I could be wrong on that, but It really doesn't matter to me now.

Next year I give them a go again. if they have something good to offer

for now I'm just going to spend the money on some other type of upgrade and be happy with the 2 5870's I have now. even though I still cant stand the CCC.

do you mean how much power does the card itself need, or recomended power supply?
 Either way, the card itself will need very close to the same as the GTX 280, within 24 watts. Ouch

A 650W PSU is recommended from the specs on the box.  6+8pin makes it a 300W max card though.

Early benchmarks show the GTX 470 mostly beats the 5850, but also rarely beats the 5870. depending on game/benchmark and settings
