The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[duploxxx]

I'm afraid in hardware it doesn't work that way

Few comparisons:

5870 @ Newegg : $404

That would be around 300€, but you wont find 5870 for less than 340€


5970 @ Newegg : $700

That would be around 514€. You won't find them for less than 540€.

And so on.


Although there is something curious about that...spaniards had to import stuff a few years ago in order to get proper prices...now we could even export as our prices are probably within the best around the EU community. Heck, a few years ago I was buying in UK and now it has gotten soooo expensive that even if pounds = euros we would only be saving a little

difficult to compare prices and currency ratio's, it is country depending, I just found both cards you specified from Sapphire below your lowest price limit in my region.

to see if Fermi will be a success we'll have to wait for the final reviews and prices. All we know today is that it has a huge die size against ATI 58xx series and a more expensive board design which isn't good for a price war for nvidia, not to mention the so far leaked performance and power consumption but that has to be proven yet.
