[citation][nom]BeetlejuiceGr[/nom]Damn, so i am sticking to 5870 and will change at 8000 ati...in 1 year or more..[/citation]This is a budget card. What did you expect?? If you want a really big upgrade from your 5870 you're gonna have to pony up for a 79xx. Even if you wait for 8000 series, you'll STILL have to pony up.

The 5870 was the world's fastest single card not too long ago. I don't really understand why you people are expecting a card on the lower end to top its performance with a single die shrink.

The size of the card seems to me that it will compete against the GTX 560 series. Though, I don't like that fan - it doesn't blow out hot air from the case.

I'll be sticking with my 5870 as well, but will definitely be looking at Nvidia when the time comes for upgrades. This is due in part because AMD has decided to not be competitive in their CPU department (making me feel skeptical on their GPU development) and also because folding is more dominant with any Nvidia GPU. Now don't get me wrong here, I have not had a problem in the past 10 years among the three companies (AMD/ATI, Intel, Nvidia) across various builds, but I also have no problem spending more for a better performing product.

where did they get that?

Is there a firm date that more 7xxx cards are being released?

AMD made some progress with this new arch but it's sad that AMD didn't make similar progress with their FX CPUs over the Phenom IIs. Now to see if Nvidia also steps up to the competition.

Does it do double precision? I was pissed when that was removed moving from the 4770 to 5770/6770.

[citation][nom]snotling[/nom]I don't think they make the 7770 in AGP buddy.[/citation]

On the other hand, there’s a plain ol’ PCI edition of the GT 430.

Make it fit my BTX boxes and I'll buy at least 3 of em. (Since I've got 3 btx boxes that is).
