Official reviews are out , One video card to rule them all! the 4870 solidly beats the GTX260 , and 2 in crossfire easily rape the GTX280 at the same price.

So, nvidia, you've got a situation where your competitor has a card that is $100 cheaper than your gtx260 and beats it in virtually all benchmarks....soundly. What are you gonna do? Rush out yet another die shrink rather hastily and try to compete? or are you going to complain that ATI is employing unfair business practices and cry about it like a little girl? The way I see it, ATI now has the performance crown in both the low and midrange segments, the two that matters most in terms of where the money to be made is. I cant speak for others, but for a $300 (or less) 4870, they've got my business.

Took the words right outta my mouth there amigo.

Truly an awesome achievement by AMD, and for such a stellar price.

supposedly PhsX also runs on ATI cards , 3xxx and 4xxx series with a simple driver mod , so there is no reason to get nvidia it seems.....

Considering the HD line of cards are folding monsters and that there are FAR MORE STREAM PROCESSORS in the DAAMIT hardware than Nvidia, I would be inclined to believe that DAAMIT off the bat could kick Nvidia physics out the windows with ease. Stream processors are general purpose processing units that can perform many different calculations. Basically all the 'graphics' processing power in the HD core could also be used for pure GPGPU work which is things like physics. So I really do see the big deal with doing physics on HD cards, it all politics really.

If nvidia was a man, i'd choke that man to death for the ultimatest vapourware of the century that is the nvidia f@h client. I mean, two years ago, headlines read that a f@h client for nv cards is "just around the corner". I mean, what could possibly be so hard in coding a folding client for their cards where TWO YEARS later it is still nowhere to be found?. For that reason alone i'd ditch nvidia in a heartbeat for that damn damn sillyness.

Ati returns, now anyone wanna lend me $300 for a 4870

hummmmmmm I knew there was a reason why the 3870 I ordered back in january got returned for a refund ( other than the fact it was DOA, damn customs broke it ).

Hmmmm...I wonder how much one of THOSE will go for. If the price is right, (read $550 tops) i'll bite because you KNOW that will wtfpwn a gtx280.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #74 on:** July 12, 2008, 03:39:38 PM »

O_o *considers selling MORE shiznit*

I knew that X2 would kick some ass, but faster than 4870 CF !!? God-DAYUMNNN !!!
Of course it still outside the usual GPU budget, but I guess you actually get what you pay for
this time.

This should shed a little more light on the pricing issue.

I am speechless for now.....

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #76 on:** July 14, 2008, 07:52:36 AM »

Impressive indeed. At ~ $550 though, may be a bit over the top for me, especially since my max res is "only" 1680x1024.

LMAO @ "4870x2 providing enough computing power to figure out what omen want"

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #77 on:** July 14, 2008, 09:09:17 AM »

i must say, that black is the sexiest thing ATi could ever do, my GODDDDD... that card is a beauty!!!

Quote

As a result, the X2's 1600 total stream processors have a peak computational rate of 2.4 teraflops. That's, erm, considerable—beyond the obvious graphics applications, that's the sort of computing power that may one day enable men to figure out what women want.

Now they just have to deliver a 95W BE Phenom in the 3+ GHz region to match up with it and DAAMIT would be a viable option as a gaming rig and not just the SFF media box arena. Good job on this beast though!!!
