It keeps opening RSS bookmark :( can't open the article!
cookerjc did you measured die size?
I cant wait to see comparisons vs 8800GT, its main competition, i might end up grabbing a couple of these for crossfire, should do well on my 24"
hopefully it beats the 9800GTX
Don't you just have to love ATIs super clean board design? Can't wait for reviews!
o yeah! in more then few occasion ;)Quote:

The competition is:
4850 ($199) vs 8800GT ($169)/ 9800GT ($179)
AND
4870 ($299) vs 9800GTX ($279)/ 9900GTX ($299)

Nice, some CF results would be nice!
@perkam
And what if the HD 4870 equals or beats the GTX260 in performance? :D
Turn the card over and look at the backside :DQuote:

It looks like it's a low power low noise card.Let's not hope it's low performing too.

[that's a lot of stuff on the back of the card]
2900XT had lots of stuff and it was clean and very beautiful to look at. There are two different things :p:
who cares how it looks... :DQuote:

Looks like a video card - but that's just my opinion.
And I thought I was the only one that bought a video card for its appearance.
So when is this review coming?
rather ironic that in majority of computer cases the back of the card is all that you can see and the front is mostly covered by a heatsink. :DQuote:

If you can't fit this card in your case. .. . . I don't know lol. .
it probably wont but lets hope it does. the cheaper faster the betterQuote:
