System Specs

Yes, the 69xx may be a disappointment but Nvidia got a head start anyway. The 480GTX was already fast but lacked the efficiency of most cards. All Nvidia had to do was improve the architecture. Whereas with AMD, they needed to make a card faster than the 5870 but didn't know where to start. The 580GTX is an improvement of the 480GTX but at least the 6970 was an improvement over the 5870. To sum up I was very disappointed as I heard the 6970 was meant to be at least 10-20% faster than the 480GTX
