Has anyone seen any more info on r770? Is it really coming out in June or is ATI playing the "give them a date so they will stop bothering us" game
I'm in the middle of getting the parts for my new build. I've got everything picked out but I'm having problems deciding on the graphics card. My plan was to get a 3870x2 and get another in a few months, but now that the news/rumor of the 4870's coming out in June, I'm second guessing the card especially if the rumors are true. Should I hold off on the uber card and get a cheap card to get me by until June or drop the cash on the 3870x2 with risk of the 4870x2 coming out a few months later? :??:

If u can wait then ofcourse why not? But it is not confirmed officially that the cards are coming out in june. It's still much later. U can know more about the cards 4series in april. If u dont want to go for the 3870x2 right now then u can go with the 3850 it is good and will serve u atleast until the 4series coming out. But i will say if u want to invest on 3870x2 then wait for the 9800gx2 version to come out in march. so that the price of 3870x2 will fall down a bit and at that time you can get the best bet out there of 3870x2 probably. So in either case i will say wait (for 2 weeks or for 4 month its up to u)
