Minimum fps is what counts to me and the R700 falls behind the GTX 280 in several instances. Oh well I doubt my damn shuttle could even handle a GTX 280 even if I wanted one.

I would say minimum fps is actually very important, in many, even most, cases, moreso than average fps.
Generally, if you have a well matched card for the rez/settings/etc. in the games you want to play, you'll be getting adequate fps on average.
But the minimums are what get annoying.

Today however, is about the 250W, $500 multi-GPU solution - internally known as R700. Hot on the heels of the Radeon HD 4800 series launch, AMD shipped out ten R700 cards worldwide, attempting to capitalize on the success of the 4800 and showcase the strength of AMD's small-GPU strategy.

The thing that's so scary about the reviews is that the 9800GX2 and the 3870x2 perform so poorly after only being out for 7 months.

Hmmm...some of those benches sure look interesting....
is AMD trying to keep expectations lower and then release good drivers @ launch?

Hmm, ten cards but only seven reviews. Maybe we should have a competition to find the other three.Originally posted by: lopri

This will be my next card, High rez + AA is what counts and this is the best out there- sign me up.

I hope you're also going to jump to an overclocked Q9xx0 / e8400.
