@NBAasDOGG Well, the GTX 295 is a dual GPU video card so it isn't a fair comparison. It would be if you had a double crossfire setup of the HD 5870 video card. BTW your awesome card is awesome. =D
I paid a high price for it but it didn´t got good performance. And look at Nvidia today. ATI Graphics card have far more clock speed than Nvidias cards.
you have a point about ATI for the time being, but I won't be surpised if Nvidia comes out with better cards than 5970.
As for performance, is it because you're refering them to higher end cards of today? cause that's down right stupid. 8800 at it's time was good. Go cry in the corner.
ya, unless you want d x 11 you might as well not get the super expensive cards.....you should look into the 4890 pretty nice cards, reasonably;y prices too. :-)
wtf r u talking about neither nvidia or amd can release any cards lately cause its not up to them....its up to the companies that make the chips....please people inform your selves more in websotes like fudzilla....it is ridicules the things you hear from people this days
lmao you are stupid, pl0x dont talk about shit you dont even know, and not to metion that in my 1st comment I NEVER mention the REASON WHY, there is and shortage on the production on GPUs.
I just point out the obvious that AMD isnt capable of supplying the high demand and how that affect the earing rates, which is the TRUTH, and once again Im NOT pointing out the reason why there is a shortage, PLZZ LEARN TO READ...
@Czyerx Nvidia won't have anything for a few months. They just got their pants sued off by RAMBus. RAMBus is the company who developed the DDR, DDR2, DDR3, GDDR3, and XDR2 memory technologies. For 10 years Nvidia has been violating their patents. Thanks to the lawsuit Nvidia can no longer import any cards into the United States that violate the patents. This includes all of the GTS and GTX series of cards along with some of the Quadros. Nvidia got screwed.
its such a shame its selling for £380 what a rip off !!!! i waited and held off a standard 5870 to get this, its not worth an extra 60 70 qiud just for a cooler what wher they thinking, did the 4890 versions cost anything like this?
yeh m8 but im british we take it in the ass for prices. they mst think we all live in castles sipping tea with the queen and polishing our golden tiaras
actually sounds like there taking there sweet time waxing your ass before going surfing!! to me sounds just how they treat us when it comes to a porsche. well you might want to wait a little longer, if you have to buy it from here so what. I doubt the shipping is going to rack up what you will save.
@dave00dance You don't? Damn, you destroyed my whole view of the UK! I thought all Brits are driving Aston martins, have a Butler named "James" and play Rugbi all day long. Last but not least, everyone is close friend with the Queen. Did I mention the Rain? Srsly, the 5xxx Generation of ATi really did, what Nvidia did before. I bought my 1950PRO&3870 ~8Months after release for about 150 Euros.Cheapest 5870 today in Ger. Is about 322€ And that since Months.I Bet it stays that way even after 6870
would bc2 run maxed out with this and AMD phenom 3.4ghz

Code named GF100, the upcoming addition to the GeForce lineup will deliver unparalleled 3D realism,
brilliant Microsoft DirectX 11 graphics, and immersive NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ gaming; all with incredible performance. And yes, its ok to drool.
