3- Nvidia will not be able to use GDDR5 on this GPU, so stop dreaming
4- Nvidia needs a card to compete in the super high end, and they will do whatever they can to match the 4870x2

So unless people have something to add to this information, the rest is all speculation.

I can go ahead and say nVidia's new card will cause a nuclear explosion, and you can't tell me I am wrong

How can you say those are facts without factual proof? such as claiming no GDDR5? dont get me wrong, I speculate there will be no GDDR5 either but im guessing this cannot be proven at this point so basicly you told everyone there speculation is not worth 2 cents but yours are facts.

Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
