I'm just thinking about whether they will make a 4870x2

*salivates*

[crenn]

The 4870x2 will come out about a month later after the 4870.

[p0Pe]

i hope to get to upgrade to the x2:D if they are hefty fine enough

[crenn]

According to initial reports, the x2 beats the GTX280.

[Quakken]

The current 3870x2 or the 4870x2?

Either way, I would totally love a 3870x2. That thing looks sweet (so what if it isn't top of the line?)

[crenn]

The 4870x2. It seems people have problems with ATi drivers including with the 3870x2.

[Quakken]

Well that's not good. Too bad, really- Many a great hardware piece has been lessened greatly by sub-standard driver issues.

[crenn]

Maybe NVidia and ATi do a trade off, let NVidia write their drivers, and help NVidia with their cost issues xD;

i prefer NVIDIA, for one, the red theme kinda is failure, 2 i like EVGA best tech support around... <3 also Nvidia held the crown with the 8 series for so long, they probably have way more stuff up their sleeves, waiting to release it like the 280 GTX

[crenn]

I'm not a fan of EVGA since their step-up program is great... if you're in the US.

Anyway, I like NVidia, but I'll wait until the end of this month before I pass judgements.

EDIT: WARNING! NUDITY AHEAD!
Buahahahaha, it's not what half of you are thinking

This is why we need a universal translator.... oh wait, that's google.... or is it? *queue dramatic music here*

[p0Pe]

well.... i think that ill cancel the nvidia card i just ordred for a friend and wait for the 4870 :D

[crenn]

From what we can see, the 4870 could be great value for money.

[Crazy Buddhist]

Nvidia don't support full screen playback of the video overlay on a second screen any more since 8XXX series cards. This is the dumbest thing and why I am going back to ATI.

Well, I've decided for a long time that whenever I get my next computer, It's going to be aamtdi. I may not have the best processor, but I will have the better graphics.
