really? the 9800GX2 and GTX295 were great cards, 295 still holds it's own today against a GTX480/580.

i had edit it. 9800gx2 gtx295 both were great.. :o

"still blinded by that one-grand-card"
 
I'll wait for W1zz's review(s) before making any kind of assessment on this card.

+1

I have only one True 16x PCIE slot.
 
Well it was expected to be slower. Every time Nvidia moves a product release to the middle or the end of the week, expect a lackluster product. However if it runs cooler and quieter and at the same time you get 3d surround, it might not be a total lemon we'll see soon.

Oh no the 590 wins in everything but the one test where it matters some-what, it lost in crysis warhead, all other test don't matter if its already over 60fps but the one test they both are under the 6990 wins.:p (don't think that will come out right)

but really they both play any game at any setting so i would just go for what ever is cheapest.

lol those were hand picked benches - not a good sign
they were all old games - a worse sign
it wins in vantage but they show the 580 beats the 6990 as well, so they used gpu physx on the cpu test - so that's not really applicable
it loses in 3dmark 11 a more recent benchmark - not a good sign for the latest and greatest from nvidia

so yeah the pr numbers look good to an untrained eye, but those of use who've been around and have setups this card should be beating know better.

It's probably clocked so low to maintain an acceptable heat/power envelope, that's the best it can do. Honestly, I'll be happy if this card is exactly 100% the speed of the HD 6990 -- I expect it to usher in a near era of anti-fanboyism, since there will no longer be any "fastest card." :p
 
What's funny will be the folks who spend over a grand for this and put it in a $50 case expecting a miracle, then complain that it sounds like a jet. For $1000 I could think of a lot of things to spend my money on besides that :toast: :pimp: and have a lot more fun!

If I were an ATI fanboy, id have an ATI card and i dont.
 
Why on earth are they benching this card at 1920 x 1080 .. . . so you expect some one to have nearly nearly 1200 dollars for a video card but not enough for a monitor with a resolution greater than 1920 x 1080 .. . . . . wait what .. . . makes me skeptical about the cards performance for sure!:shadedshu
 
1000 bucks, . . . . I'm out.

this card better kick a 6990's ass for that premium
 
not looking promising. old games 3D MARK Vantage with physx boost. The downclocking looks like it has hurt the 590 a lot

My thoughts exactly.
As has been mentioned before, we should wait until W1zzard has done a review to see what he can crank this beast up to, as I imagine it will beat the HD6990 solidly, provided the speed increase can be had without frying the rest of the system ;)
 
thats it we won't know until midnight tonight our time. Going to be very interested in reading Wiz's review tommorow. Good thing work opened up access to the net late last year
 
Must be one HELL of a MOUSE :D

why are you guys so excited about a videocard when there is that MOUSE :eek: AND THAT GPU/mouse CASE!!! :D

It's looking like a competition of slight increases here and there can't wait to see W1z'z review
I hope to see Nvidia with the crown for minute
 
6990 besting 590 in FarCry 2??? I just can't believe it!!! A driver thing maybe.
