The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[pentium777]

Looks more like $400-550

We'll see if Nvidia is actually justifying their price with performance, or if this is just Nvidia applying the Nvidia tax... ("our $129 card has PhysX so its automatically faster" mentality)

Starting to feel some depression setting in. If I'm already spending $500 each x 2 for SLI then the extra $50 isn't a big deal to me but......IF it really is approx 10% better compared to a card that can be bought right now (5870) for $420? Plus I'm on a 790i board so crossfire is out and I'm not ready to move to a new board/cpu just yet as dual core 4ghz isn't limiting my gaming performance.

These days with the economy money is tighter than usual I can't really afford to auction off these cards and upgrade in 3-6 months I really want to have an SLI setup for 2560x that'll be good to go for 12-18 months. Hopefully there's some magic happening Friday night but it seems less likely as the day/hour approaches. Sure I could "wait and see" but I'm already playing BFBC2 at medium with DX9 forced to get min 40s and avg 50-60 it is a DX11 title with soft shadows I'd like to play it highest quality DX11...

Found this seems a lot of board partners are trying to boost performance, will it be good enough?
