About damn time, I've been waiting ages to replace my 8800GT.

 

[brett1042002]

5800 series incoming?

 

[griffed88]

lol me too

O le crap, I was hoping to see at least a nvidia peep about GT300, guess 58xx it is....

now if the ATI AIBs stop being gay and offer good lifetime overclock w voltmod warranties then I would stop complaining where GT300 is....

 

[cryogenic]

DirectX 11 is the most anticipated directx version by me ever.

It's about time to show some PC muscles to all those console gamers, and about time for a PC comeback ...

 

[Niva]

Wow replace an 8800 GT? That's a great new card still. My ATI Radeon 9700 pro is becoming a bit outdated though.

Let's hope so and that it blows the 4800 series away.

40 nm.. It's so close I can smell it with my tentacles.

 

[shabaa]

Ahhh but when will the DX11 games be out? 2-3 years?

 

[astrodudepsu]

If the 4770 is any indication, I look forward to high-end 40nm GPU's.

DX11 games have been in development for a long time the first DX11 games are due out before the end of the year and the show piece DX11 title Starcraft 2 due Q1 2010.

To bad the AMD CPU is still a bottleneck on high end graphics cards.

Looking forward to the next CPU from AMD

Hmmm, I just replaced my 8800GT for a GTX260 with 896MB of RAM - Runs pretty damn good for me. Although, I didn't fork any money out for it, technically speaking. Always nervous to "jump" on new products based on past experiences. Man, I remember my NVIDIA Geforce 2 Ultra - sweet! Hope AMD is releasing a card that actually MAKES A DIFFERENCE. Uggh

Did you check out the new upcoming Catalyst 9.8 drivers? Big news there (gaming improvements) with an AMD CPU combined with their graphics cards.

Its good so the 4800 family gets cheaper

 

[meatwad53186]

Damnit haha. Just my luck... looks like I should return that brand new 4890 that should arrive at my house on wednesday and wait just a little longer.

 

[maximiza]

but can it max out Crysis?

 

[brett1042002]

^ lol

SIGH! I got my 4890 over a month ago, I love it to death but i was really waiting on the 5xxx series, but couldn't wait much longer

 

[leafblower29]

I'm not gonna buy a new card for DX11 I just got a GTX 260 so it will last a while.

 

[cscott_it]

All in all I'm excited about this.

I know we are all hoping and wishing the cards are spectacular, so that Nvidia will release something similar and the battle for best card will keep prices reasonable and keep both companies driving forward.

It will be very interesting when Larabee is introduced to the mix as well.
