That could be real or it might not.
Crysis runs better on a single card than a dual card. Only when you turn up the resolution dual card gets a little better. 3dmark scores doesn't make sense at all.

those are bunk. no way is 4870 going to be 30% faster than 9800gx2. If it's 1% faster than 3870x2 and 8800 ultra then I'll be impressed. I hope that it is b/c it will at least be able to exert some price pressure on gt200 then...so we can all get the good stuff at a better price than in nov 06!
edit: more news on rv770 http://www.nordichardware.com/news,7700.html
if they really drag out 4870 until july that will be more bad news for daamit.

After having heard Cevat and Reigns pound PC gaming, I think this next gen of cards will be my last...
IMO Only if Battlefield 3 (not bad company) is great will PC gaming be saved...

anything that fuad writes is complete guesswork. I'm surprised that he knows how to spell "amd". A couple weeks ago he thought that jen-hsun huang's first name was actually "jensen".
btw, everything that he wrote there has been discussed at length here and at many other sites over the past couple months.

Pretty sure Jen-Hsun can be written as Jensen as that's how it's pronounced.

They Say "The new GPUs are 55nm and they are actually an architecture shrink chip with minor architectural changes. " But i was thinking that RV770 had split shader and core clock so that was a huge architectural change??? WTF

And, last but not least, I have no intention of waiting more than another 6 weeks to purchase! We all know you can't spend forever waiting on the next, newest tech to come around. Sometimes ya gotta make a stand. If the GT200s aren't out in a month or so, they won't even be on my radar, no matter how much the rumor mill tells me to wait because "zomg they'll so be uber!!...once you water-cool then, mod your case, and buy a new PSU!!!".

Um...that isn't exactly the way it works.

Now will the mid range cards be better than the older 7800s/7900s of yesterday? The 8600GT/HD2600XT were considered to beat them out until they were released and showed that the old cards were better most of the time.
Also, will the midrange cards be released around the same time? I might pick one of these up since I get a paycheck in two weeks. The only thing I hope is the come out with a VIVO version so I dont have to get a Tuner card as well since my 7800GTX is a VIVO edition.

Quite a few Asian people pick nicknames in order to simplify pronunciations for Americans. I'm fairly certain that Jensen is an accepted spelling of Mr. Huang's first ("nick")name.
I mean, Romanization of Asian languages is not always on point, so citing Fud being unreliable for calling the CEO of Nvidia by an acceptable nickname is not the greatest point of attack.
Thanks for making the situation clearer for all of us.That could be real or it might not.
If they haven't addressed the AA issue then all the memory bandwidth in the world won't help them. Case and point: the 2900 XT.gddr5 will definitely give 4870 more room to push its fillrate. Particularly with AA and higher resolutions.

Please provide me a link showing that jen-hsun's nickname is jensen. Sorry, a link other than from fuad. You know what, it doesn't even matter. When was the last time fuad wrote something reasonably intelligent, 11th grade english class? His guesswork and ramblings are embarrassing to the tech community, and your defense of him is laughable.

don't go edit the wikis either, since I just read them. Quite a few jen-hsun's, no jensen's. hmmm...maybe fuad didn't write Mr. Huang's wikipedia entry...

Yep, although the RV770XT isn't due out until July Can someone explain what exactly is up with GDDR3 and GDDR5 cards? Are there going to be both GDDR3 and GDDR5 HD4870s? Or is the GDDR3 only going to be HD4850? I know for sure ATI is releasing both GDDR3 and GDDR5 cards, I'm just not sure which models are getting which. And is the RV770Pro gonna be the HD4850, or the HD4870? R770XT gonna be the HD4870x2? or the GDDR5 version of the HD4870?
