by: W1zzardWow, they are all coming out today! Any word on whether TPU will be getting a retail one for testing? I want to know if they have fixed the power draw yet.

Lol 2gb ddr5.. no microstuttering.. thats insane - i see forward to the reviews
You're going to review this, aren't you? (looking at the TPU watermark). :)
I think they already have reviewed it. The minute the NDA is lifted, you'll see the net swarming with reviews! I'm looking forward to anandtech and tpu's review, I find those the best there is.

In today's day and age, NDAs make me chuckle.
Bring on the reviews!
Well, if they want to be the first to publish reviews next time around, they better agree with the NDA...

Will the 4870 X2 work with my 680i SLI SE board(TR)?
I dont know how the Ati drivers are going to work with the nvidia chipset.:(
by: ShadowFoldHopefully they'll release an un-stickered cooler, too. :laugh: I was really jiving with the all-black look that the prerelease photos of this card had.

by: CDdude55Of course! You cant Crossfire two of them tho, but you can use one perfectly fine

by: W1zzardEDT = GMT - 4 => GMT = EDT + 4 Man, writing 1201 AM is one strange way to put it. I'm used to 1201 (1201 PM) and 0001 (1201 AM). Due to DST, CET should be GMT +2 this time of year, so 06:01 CET is pretty good time to get a coffee and wake up reading the reviews :D I don't know why I'm so excited though, I probably wont even buy a new GPU until next year.
5 am gmt ?
Now i have to pick, should i get a GTX 260 or one of the 4870 X2's?
I know the 4870 X2 will cost more but i think it may be worth it.
by: CDdude55Is the 680i mobo PCI-E 2 or 1 ? Cus if they havent fixed power issues, the 4870X2 needs the power capability of a PCI-E 2.0 mobo. i also dont know how well a 600W will cope either. Will be interesting to see TPU's review tomorrow and see if power issues are fixed.

by: Zehnsuchtsucks for me though because i have to get up so early and press the launch button :(

Cant wait for the reviews, my only question is, and only if you can respond W1zzard...
Are the reviews testing this card with a new unreleased driver??

by: W1zzardI'll be up and waiting at six. :D Wonder if it will break the record of most people online...?
sucks for me though because i have to get up so early and press the launch button :(
At six? Then you'll be one hour late :p (UK is GMT +1 with DST?)
by: W1zzardAwww poor W1zzard :) I bet it was fun testing it though :D
