Of course, when your side has a dual GPU card, it's easy to support dual GPU cards :p:Quote:

the word "easy" actually does represent hundreds of man hours worth of R&D and economic analysis to determine how viable a dual GPU card is, sometimes it is possible, some other times it ain't.
Nvidia did not, AMD did, end of the story
well asus may come out with one gtx 595 chernobyl edition w/stalker 4 :p:Quote:

It looks exciting that these things might hit 1ghz on water.

:confused: Maybe a surprise yet in store with the bulk of reviews this coming morning?Quote:
The GTX 480 is the fastest GPU currently on the market and the GTX 580 is even faster," said Justin Walker, product manager for Nvidia's GeForce line, in an interview. Walker estimates that the GTX 580 offers a performance boost of 20 to 35 percent over the GTX 480.
We'll see it tomorrow.Quote:

Anyways.. why i am not so surprised of you bashing on Nvidia products? I know what you do, and what you don't do and what are your tendencies from another forums. So, let's keep it quiet until we see it officially.
Heh, if anything I think the scores on TechPowerUp are a tad *lower* than we'll see from most sites... just a hunch for some reason. These things look to be good OC'ers too. Look like pretty solid cards so far... much quieter.Quote:

Eh, I'll be in for 1 if that 10% off newegg code is valid for the card (ok, I'm in for 1 anyway! who am I kidding?)... doubt it'll drop below $450 even once 6970 comes unless that card is an ungodly beast. Rather take the sure thing than hope for a little better price/performance in a few weeks as well as hoping it has good acoustics/thermals and drops at a lower price than the GTX 580. :)Quote:

It may be faster, but I'm not willing to hope it's also cooler/quieter/$450/etc. off the bat if so (or vice versa). By current rumors they appear evenly-matched enough.
I will also add I am jealous of MLAA on the ATI side... I hope the GTX 580 series is given it at some point! It's a major selling point even in my eyes...
35% perf boost ???? nvidia are in dreamland right now ... 15% is what we expected and its what they gave us ... no magic driver will give an over the board performance boost like that on an arch that has been milked 1 year long ...Quote:

Why would they? They both are/would be pole-position cards at that point anyway, what would be the need for such a massive price cut?Quote:
