I was gonna grab one but I started thinking maybe I should wait for at least 1 review first. Im not a 100% on gigabyte. I went through the reviews on their other 5870 model on newegg and it seemed to have a problem with not idling or something.
If it was a sapphire I would have jumped on it as...
Sweet. They are starting to show up on newegg. There is no vapor x though. Are you 100% sure thats what you ordered from provantage? They didnt seem to specify it on their listing.
Instead of arguing how having more VRAM can come in handy, why don't you guys explain the performance advantages of having less?
Heh. It always seem like there is someone out there trying to convince people that less is better. Im all ears.
LOL, this guy sounds like he has the symptoms of penis envy, only its for computer memory. Why do you care so much?
I want a 2gb card mainly for future proofing as I dont plan on upgrading for 3-4 for years after this. With the 2gb cards are on the horizon and only going for $50 or so more, I...
Just fyi, provantage has a C rating and has had 46 complaints.

Im gonna wait for a more reputable site.
They confirmed thats the Vapor x model? Good to hear if so.
I dont know if I would feel comfortable buying from provantage though. Ill have to check their BBB rating.
My review? You are really confusing.
Anyway worst come to worst Ill just pick up the 2gb 5870 Matrix. Whatever 2gb 5870 comes out first, actually. No sweat.
That vapor x 5870 is such a sexy looking card. Cant wait to get my hands on the 2gb version. Hope I dont have to wait any longer than the 12th for it to come out.
Hopefully it isnt much more expensive though. $50 for twice the memory would be a steal, but I cant go any higher than $100.
Yeah, I'll be gaming at 1920x1080. But there's always the future proofing side of it, right? And doesn't it come in useful if you really want to crank up the AA?
Plus there's the GTA side stories coming out in a couple weeks and the engine in that game seems to really eat up the video memory. I...
I've had some time to read the reviews and reflect on 'Fermi' and yeah, it's just not going to work. I'd rather sacrifice some features and speed and put something in my case that isn't going to annoy me or have me paranoid every time I fire up a game.
FFS I heard stories of the heat coming...
Nice, but I thought these weren't supposed to come out until next week?
Where did you buy them?
I'll probably end up going with these too. Fermi's temperature scares me.
Considering I was looking to buy a vapor-x 5870 at $500, the GTX 480 looks to be the better choice.
In every bench I've seen so far the 5870 only came ahead in 1 or 2 games at 1 or 2 fps (including the ATI branded Stalker), while the fermi manages to have quite a significant boost in a few...
You guys think this power supply is enough for the GTX 480?

Excuse being OT, but I didn't think this was worth creating a thread over.
thx.
I agree. I'm not convinced how well it overclocks is going to be a deciding factor for the majority though (well not for me anyway as I don't know how and wouldn't feel comfortable tampering with such expensive equipment anyhow). I don't even see the point until these cards start showing their...
