    Fermi drivers will save the day, you'll see!!!!.

    By that time we all will be playing with are new ati 6 series cards.

    Can someone tell me what game a 5850 cant play at 1920 maxed? All this extra heat and power from fermi seems a little excessive, no?

    Everyone is different. Many people don't give a rat's ass about extra heat and power consumption and are willing to pay a premium for the 10%-20% increase in performance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that and nobody can tell them they're wrong.

    I'm still playing on a GTX 260 216 @ 1920X1200 and I'm doing fine.

    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

    6:21 Ashley McBroom: Comparing perf of GTX 285 versus 480


    OK WTF is he lying to people right there ? He must be showing SYNTHETIC performance charts. It just is NOT 2X or more faster than GTX 285, so far as we have seen in benches. Sure would like this to be true but of course he doesn't say that it is in most games and also of course the "up to" wording.

    She?

    Anyways, it sounds like they're talking about synthetics, cause most of the reviews so far peg it in the 30-40% faster than 285 range, and slightly more than 295, depending on SLI scaling..
