Lump me in with the meh crowd. I was a bit underwhelmed by its performance based around the leaks. So I cant fault the card, just the people leaking information. It is definately not a must have card right now. Ill wait to see what the GT300 does. I have a feeling it should perform at or better than the 295. SO we will have the same situation we had last generation. Should be interesting to see where Nvidia's pricing is forced to go due to it.
Maybe I am getting old or have been spoiled by large increases in performance. But the i5\i7 release was a disappointment and I have a feeling this generation of GPU's from both manufacturers will be as well
The problem is ATI had no competition at all for this card, so price was set accordingly. I have a feeling as soon as Nvidia responds with the GT300, ATI will show us it's true hand, by way of price cuts on the 58xx series.
Those prices are already pretty low for a high end card imo.
The thing didnt come in at the size they desired either. If anything I expect a dual GPU card will be shown when the GT300 shows up.
