looks like the green team is gonna take the lead again. At least this should make 2009 an interesting year as the two battle back and forth for the single card crown. Especially for us consumers (Price wars!). Good review. On a side note, I'm sure you guys have the info on it before your allowed to talk about it (darn NDA's!
 ), but how hard is it not to spill the beans?

January?! Bosco you tease!
I'm glad this card did so well in the benches, at a lower introductory cost than the 4870 X2, this means that prices will drop! wohoo  This card will be a great choice for workstations as well, as it supports multiple monitors, even when two of these cards are in SLi!Also...were the games benched chosen by Nvidia? |

We have those games currently and it was asked that we test with them. This is a prime example to show game companies work more with Nvidia then ATI. The amount of titles that are better on Nvidia is insane but PHYSX really helps as well hopefully ATI will counter with that soon. I would expect if we saw another driver update from ATI we would see some better scores and being more competitive in these current titles. But its in ATI's hands now all we can do is wait. -------------------- Main Rig
