The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[takamishanoku]

I think its safe to say that ATi 5970 is the new G80, meaning that those who bought (like G80 users did) one made the best long time investment in gpu hardware.

Not really. The G80 was a single gpu and the 5970 isn't. Not really a fair comparison.

But in terms of the 5870, it is true to an extent. 6 months with no competition and we'll wait and see with Fermi if it continues that way. At any case i still think a 1GHz core with 5870 should be close to the 480. Great card esp with the features.

I'm saying as a product not as x2 gpus vs gpu blah blah blah, 5970 still a single card.
