I think in this case, the best news for Nvidia is NO news. The big talk of last time with a failed 580 was just such a letdown for very many people. And despite the efforts of those with preferances like sirpauly and notty, in general people did not wait, but went out and bought the 5870, enjoying 7 months of premium dx11 graphics with a low price.
I have no doubt that Nvidia will be launching a GPU to battle AMDs Radeons, but lets not be silly like some seem to be, they are late to the fight again.
What is more interesting though is this: who will win the midrange performance fight? will it be the 7870 or will it be some mythical as of yet unheard of ... 660 ti part?
Just look at my sig, i dislike Nvidia to hell and back, but still buy based on price performance.
Why am i not surprised to see you making snide, derogatory comments about someone with a different view than yours. What is this itching, is it related to hardware fever? or are you insinuating he is some kind of dog? Are you itching for the same thing you are asking him about Keysplayr?
