this is so stupid. the same price with GTX 295.
but less power than 295.
one thing that is better than 295 is

295 - 300-350W
5870 - 200-250w

I am going to sell my 5870 and wait for 5870X2 or GT300.

one more question. um...

somebody told me that 5870 will be better then 295 when the new drive for 5870 is out.

true?

That is the Point! take the DX as the generation separation.

Of course there is some time between the launch of each card, but we see that it is a cycle. Sometimes Ati will be better other Nvidia.
I started with ati with Radeon 7000, 8k and 9k then tried Nvida Fx5k, 6k 7k and 8k, now i think its time to change over ATI again...


lol due to lack of money i skipped nvida's 9k and g200 series.

Im buying Ati this time, AMD is giving their Clients a lot of love :D (phenom b50)


maybe later ill change back.
