I hope the wait for the paper edition is better than the woodscrew edition :P
i actually read the article now, yes after i posted my first comment about it lol,

and the very first sentence makes it clear he just dosnt like them at all


its funny how he it talking about a chip thats going to have 20% more power with 10-20% less power consumption being killed by the competition. i think a 580 with a decent overclock (FTW or SOC version) should give a 5970 a good run for its money (in real games). talking about factory OC here too.

the fact that its going to be 30-40% stronger than a 5870 while being only a little higher on the power draw should be more than enough to make us happy about this card.

and if they did change the internals a little, then i think its ok to give it a new number, maybe not 5xx, but 485 i think would have been more appropriate.
