So AMD is not dropping their prices. THAT IS LAME.

I was thinking about picking up a 5870 for cheap and have been waiting for this launch.

Since AMD is going to be greedy why should I buy say a Vapor-X???

I can get a GTX480 for the same price and it will kick its ass at folding, and give me 10%-20% better performance in games.

It seems like now AMD is getting arrogant, not NVIDIA if they think I am going to pay 6 month old price for a 5870, when I can get GTX480 that is faster for the same price. So what if it is hotter? I am thinking about a waterblock anyway. I already have a 1000watt power supply so why should I worry about it drawing 280 watts? These are non-issues.

I am really annoyed at AMD for not dropping prices.

Guess I am going with Nvidia for it's better drivers, Physx, slightly better performance in games, #1 in folding, and awesome future proof tessleation and geometry power.

I almost feel like getting a GTX470 to save money and wait for REV.B GTX490 which will have a higher core clock, cooler operation, and 512SP all working - NOW THAT CARD IS GOING TO BE A MONSTER.

If this is anything like GTX280, it will be out in like 3 months....

Anyway I never thought I would call AMD/ATI greedy, but booooo!!!! Its been 6 months lower your prices or lose a customer!
