Will be interesting to see what Nvidia come back with,
Most things dont even run DX10 yet, and there launching a DX11 card, should be interesting to see what comes of all this. Now if AMD could only release a decent CPU they'd be laughing.

they do have a decent CPU. in fact, they have multiple decent CPUs.

What is even going to use that much graphics power? I have a 4870x2 powering my 30" Dell @ 2560x1600, and it's overkill, nothing comes close to taxing it, even with every setting in the ATI control panel maxxed. Maybe I'm just not playing the right games.
GW2 probably won't even have uber-quality settings to be able to take advantage of it.

I buy every 2nd generation. I bought X1950, then 3870, and now 5870. I skipped the 2's and 4's. Hell my single 3870 still does pretty good in newer games.

Yeah you can run crysis on ultra high quite easily on most modern computers. Its only when you put on AA that your fps drops to 0.

guess i had best be reading the tech review sites about 9/11/09 then....

Im still happy with my 4850 =D ... think 5870 would be a waste of money since im still using xp :P

I was happy with my 4850 until a couple months ago when I slapped a second 4850 in there.... that wil keep me going just fine for another year or two most likely. That's the beauty of usually being 2 years behind on the "must play some day" video game list.... my hardware upgrades are cheap. lol

Just thinking of all that power and the extra ~3fps 
makes people want to buy the latest and greatest in components!
Me too come to think of it lol

my HD4870*2 is overkill enough already.
if they hand free 5870 @ gamescom i will get one, else not.
