Joking aside, 20% faster for the Fermi which we will see in March sounds good... especially as we know that there is a more powerful variant coming in Q3. What are the odds we see the 360 6months before the 380?

As in March for the 448 piper (20% faster than HD 5870) and September for the 512piper which would trade blows with the HD5970?

Ati will most likely release a HD 5890 come May which will significantly narrow the Fermi performance lead to just a few %.

If ATi can get a 2GB at least 950Mhz or even 1Ghz HD 5890 out of the door it will be the first time I have purchased an ATi card since the Radeon 9700 Pro. If not then I will most likely stick it out with a working GTX 285 OCX I receive from RMA until something with more VRAM comes along.
