It is official in my place, at least. If I have the money I could've pre-ordered one 5870 by now.:rolleyes:Quote:

But it probably won't, like everything else.:mad:
That's very strange, 2 cards in a week?Quote:

Worked before.
;)
after all, the public and buyers dont care, rite?
Looking forward NDA and cards to buy from ati.
The TripleHead2Go only supports up to three monitors. AMD doubles that number (and more if you use more than one card) and enables you to arrange those monitors in many difference configurations than would be possible with a Matrox solution since windows should be none the wiser as to the number or abilities of the monitors being used.Quote:

Because we support GPU-accelerated physics, our $129 card that’s shipping today is faster than their new RV870 (code name for new AMD chips) that sells for $399.”
Any preorder for europe/italy?
Nvidia are saying their low end is faster than the 2.7Tflop MONSTER KILL! GOD LIKE! L-L-UDICROUS KILL..Quote:

You dont understand, with a Nvidia card you can play it sure the game will be sluggish but when you kill a guy and his head falls to the ground it will bounce like it would if it was real where as in ATi's cases you can probable play the game maxed out but the head will not fall like it would in reality... :rofl:Quote:

If the game has PhysX. It seems NVIDIA has almost run out of fingers to count those games on with the release of the new Batman game. :rofl:
I suppose they fail to notice the DX11+OpenCL train coming, and that they are tied to the tracks.
Batman Game is totally boring crap ..., who cares about PhysX there ...?
Batman Arkham Asylum is a good game but you can enjoy it just the same without PhysX IMO.
The Batman game is totally brilliant, it's the best superhero game ever. And superhero games are huge even if they suck (when it comes to sales). That's why they keep releasing them despite bad reviews. So the game is a big selling point for nVidia. Ati only seem to pick the crap games. And that's coming from me who's a huge Ati/AMD fan.Quote:

idd. played the demo (which is really good and makes me want to play more) without physx and i didn't have the feeling i was missing something at all.Quote:

I am a uni-student, with low income. I do have two 24" monitors (Dell 2408's, PVA panels, not the horrible TN stuff) which I bought at the beginning of the year. I love them. They were totally worth it. By my income, they cost an arm and a leg. And yet, I am seriously tempted to go and spend what tax return I get on a 5870 and a third monitor. Between work and uni I don't have much time left for gaming, and I am fighting an internal battle between sensible expenditure and desire for a third monitor. I had originally considered a third screen, but running a second graphics card felt too messy. What am I trying to say? I am almost the exact opposite of the lottery winners with too much time on their hands, and yet I am still considering getting three screens.Quote:

And several of whom have decided that they would prefer two cheaper, TN monitors over one better one. Many of these people aren't gamers, or are very casual ones, most don't seem to care about the better quality panels (I would say they don't know what they are missing out on, but my boss wasn't even convinced after I showed him the difference - said he couldn't see it). Many of these multi-monitor customers do some trading, although some have just decided that monitors are cheap enough, and graphics cards just about all come with dual outputs, so why not? Given three outputs, and even cheaper, larger displays (because that is where it is heading) I can see Eyefinity working and being popular. After all, who doesn't want THREE monitors! THREE! Totally awesome. And even non geeks get how cool that is.
You only need to buy one of the high end cards once every three years, only a fool wouldn't wait to see nVidia's offering. It's not like we need all that power right away do we.Quote:
