Because we all know that spec sheets represent reality :lol:


Laugh if you want, we will see in 11 days. But what would be the point of releasing a midrange card barely any faster than the old midrange card anyway? With a 5770 for £100 now, and a new one (which could be barely any faster for £140 like the 5770 was recently) would anyone spend £40 more? Not many would. If the card isn't in the 5850+ teritory I don't think it will have enough appeal to stop people buying GTX460's because it is for certain going to be priced in that ballpark.

I will get the 5970 replacement as long as it has 2gig of ram per core and it is not $1000. Like my 5970 but want the 4 gigs of ram.

UVD3 namely Universal Video Decoder 3 is a new version of the graphics within an integrated hardware-based support for H.264 and VC-1 video decoding formats.

^^ Sounds nice!!!

Can I hope that the 3D capability will be backwards compatible?

Wonder if they've solved the HDMI-shares-same-timing-transmitter-as-DVI-port that scuppered easy EyeFinity?

Guess we'll find out in a few days. :)
