The official GT300/Fermi Thread

[saaya]

5870 isn't anywhere close to twice as fast as the 4870.

hmmm from what i remember reading through a bunch of reviews, a 5870 is about 90-95% of a 4870x2, hows that not anywhere close to it?

my post was @ saaya/ati fanatics who all of the sudden are interested in fermi or who think fermi will be a slouch or a no show until next summer
we should embrace both ati&nvidia and i hope they leap frog each other more often than once/twice a decade

i think the 5xxx series is overpriced, i want gt300 as badly as anybody, if anything to drop ati prices, and depending on price/perf to get a gt300 based card myself. i was spending as much time speculating in the 5xxx thread before the cards came out as i do in gt300 threads now...

5870 is faster than a 295. the image quality is no comparison. you could say the same with gt200 v. rv770 too. sometimes being objective is nice:p

hmmm are you sure from what i remember from all the reviews it was 295 -> 4870x2 -> 5870 is most scenarios?
