Well i would have liked them to be released early but meh..Now GT200 going to be released first..What a surprise!

But good thing is at least they will be priced below 300 4870 may even be at or below 200! Cool...but i cant help but wonder what nvidia is doing?...Hmm im down to buy from either company!

Its just like w/ G92, nVidia beat ATi to the punch releasing the 8800gt before the 3870. I think many of us suspected that nVidia has been sitting on GT200 for a while.

I'll wait till Octoberish and pick up the card with the best price/performance, by then demand should be down and stock up.

Hope the 48** turns out good, Ive been cheering for ATI for years now. And after the 9800 discrace I really don't want to give Nvidia my buisness.

It'll be a step up from 3870. I doubt it's going to be whole lot faster than 9800gtx.

I'd love the 4870 to be priced that low, BTW, although it makes me suspicious. I remember when everyone saw the price of the HD2900XT, people were like WTF, its specs kill the 8800GTX, why is it so much cheaper??well, now we know, its performance wasnt up to par. It might be the same case this time around.

dONT ASk, OH BTW i SAW where you got the article, right here on Toms, duh. These cards look like they'll dissapoint. I was really hoping on the advent of a 1GB framebuffer, a useful one dammit, but I guess we'll still have to wait.

the spec dont seem that bad. 500$ isnt to bad unless its 30-40% faster then the 9800gx2.

Could you please point me to one of those GT200s that's available right now?

 

Until they launch or at least release to reviewers and pre-order, I wouldn't bet on which is first.

if its equivalent to a 3870x2 without the glitches in dx10, then i'd quantify it as the new 8800 gt!

9800 gtx .. everything i've read points to that being a waste of money unless you SLI it?
