Well correct me if I'm wrong:Originally Posted by phantomferrari
i do agree with the people that are a little disappointed with this card. it is slightly quieter, cooler, and a good bit faster but the $500 + price point is just too hard to swallow. hopefully the launch of the 6970 will bring prices down. im waiting for this time next year when the 28nm next gen gpus should be coming out.that will be the time to upgrade for me
1. Still slower than the 5970
2. Still has high power consumption
3. An overclocked gtx480 can match its performance .. across the board
This is just like the iPhone 2G vs 3G. The 3G was the "real" iphone, and the GTX580 is the "real" contender to the 5870/5970.
I'd only buy this if I had more money than brains. Shouldn't take long for that anyways, but still
