It's 20% better than a 5870, it's nVidia drivers, it features PhysX (better with than without) and has better game support: It sucks? Wake up please.
Oh, did i mention individual game profiles for no constant messing with settings? Hardly a loser, it's late and still a winner. Lower end card (470) makes more expensive 5870 pale heh...
Curiously build post.
20% better figure is for 480, and thats best case REAL GAME scenario.And for sure it wont be cheaper than 5870
470 on the other hand, is mostly inferior to 5870, and about price, i havent anywhere seen thats its gonna be cheaper than 5870.Cheapest 5870 on newegg is 379$ now.And i REALLY dont think thats gonna happen.(i would love that tho).
So how 5870 can be pale in comparison to weaker 470 is beyond me.Physx ? Few gimmicks with huge requirements arent for me.
Lets hope for a cheaper than 5870 tho, it would drive 5xxx prices to their intended MSRPs and i would have a chance of buying 5850 ;-)
