Bonus for us few audiophile whores on XS: 7.1 channel, lossless sound 192kHz / 24-bit and 1.4a through HDMI (sweeeeet)
Thanks :up:Quote:

you were lucky with your unlock; only very few people got a stable card; and i agree that barts brings nothing new for GF100/104 or HD58xx series owners, but i think that this chip is going to be very impressive considering the extremely high efficiency (which simply isn't there on GF1xx cards and isn't really high if you compare cypress to RV7xx)Quote:

The Guru review is utterly slow. Very nice numbers so far. Nvidia better ready that 475 fairly quickly
As long as prices stay around $225-250, the 6870 is a good choice :up:Quote:

so basically, reading this review, the 6870 is between a 5850 & 5870, apart from tesselation (which has improved).Quote:

Or am I reading it wrong.
if so, these cards are pretty decent, and don't burn a hole in your pocket or your electricity bill
Overclocking sucks tho, 954mhz was max core guru 3d
470 is now 229 on newegg. Price drops happened today.Quote:

Thanks but who cares how it compares to the 5870. We all want to see how they compare to the 460/470/480Quote:
