4870x2 Release

[milkmandan]

This is probably a stupid question, but...Isn't tomorrow. August 12th, the release date for the 4870x2?
Should we be seeing this item pop up on stores like newegg and the likes?

I could just be crazy :eek:

[TedShred]

You're right.

Over at 3dGuru word is that launch time is "early morning" of the 12th, CET. It's currently about 5:45am CET, Aug 12.

I seen some early reviews just now & clearly the 4870X2 as a single card is the fastest thing on this planet however I want to see some 4870X2 CF vs 280GTX TRI-SLI setups lol THATS!!!!! the REAL test ;)

[stangracin2]

well need to wait for some better drivers

[Sp8rk3y]

well need to wait for some better drivers

thats true :)

[milkmandan]

well need to wait for some better drivers

well the good thing is better drivers are inevitable, and only a matter of time :)

can't wait for some tweaked cards to turn up ~

--
now newegg is completely sold out :)
Oh well, wasn't planning on getting on today anyways...waiting for more companies to release their cards

[mr2sw21]

can't wait to see some 3dmarks

[MrMojoZ]

can't wait to see some 3dmarks

:down: 4800s haven't been tearing up the 3DMarks from what I've seen, look at game performance instead.

Early vantage benchmarks showed the 4870x2 cards completely destroying nvidia if i recall correctly. This might not be the case with the actual cards though....

[iboomalot]

Which is the best model ??? HIS . Diamond , Saphire ????

[milkmandan]

the sapphires sold out the first
so i am guessing sapphire?

i have no idea

i am waiting for asus' version :\

--

edit and newegg has restocked some more 4870x2 lols

[stangracin2]

sapphires sold out first cause they were 559 then the next one was 569 and the other 579 so basically it just sold by price

Sapphire And Diamond In Stock At Newegg

the accounts i've heard actually indicate that the release card performs better than ES tests indicated...
but thats just hearsay.
