Hope this clears up some things. And no i wasnt kidding about their drivers, they suck to me, i know many people love it and thats fine, keep it to yourself, my opinion is ATI cannot make drivers if their life depended on it.
Nvidia's drivers are superior, but if people ditched their original GTX 260s for the new rev ones, they will ditch their old 4870s for the new ones. It is a cycle of renewal that may be alien to some, but very logical to others.
