I agree with werth about it being garbage.. I just saw anandtech's benchmarks and indept review.. this one looks amazing on paper BUT two 8800GT beats it... $700 vs. $300, and less than half the price beats it? = weak
I guess i'll just be getting another 8800GT and putting em in SLi OR wait for AMD's notorious 4670

but yea,. my point, even if the 4870 doesnt beat it, which is fairly safe to say it wont, its only gonna be half the price. so i'd take that in a hearbeat
theyre also supposed to have a 4870x2, so well have to see how that competes against it

two 4850 in crossfire beats a gtx280 in most cases, albeit $200 less, and 99% of new intel boards do crossfire (fuck nvidia chipset) 4870 is gonna be sick
