Nvidia 270, 290 and GX2 roll out in November

You are picking a Biased review that puts head to head a heavy overclockd GTX260 vs standart HD 4870 1Gb.
Those power comsuption numbers are off too.

Use this review instead please:

The diference in IDLE from GTX260-HD4870 1Gb is 10%:

So it's biased because it's right?
Having vista Aero on for most people would not be considered at idle.
sorry
And btw, if the gtx 260 is so heavily overclocked, why does it still use less than half the power consumption of a 4870 at idle?

speaking of biased, skewed reviews look at this;

"For our idle testing, we left the cards idling on the desktop for ten minutes, recording the average draw at the wall socket. For load testing, we used our benchmark routine from Crysis in DirectX 10 mode and measured the peak power consumption throughout the benchmark. We tested the cards in a number of other scenarios and this proved to be the most intensive in all cases, so you can consider this to be a worst-case scenario."

in other words, they couldn't get there kill a watt meter to read an average over a time period. They just recorded the maximum that was being drawn from the wall. REal professional........
