Wow, 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

W1zzard · Aug 11, 2008

btarunr · Aug 11, 2008

You're going to review this, aren't you? (looking at the TPU watermark).

Zehnsucht · Aug 11, 2008

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.

newconroer · Aug 11, 2008

In today's day and age, NDAs make me chuckle.

Bring on the reviews!

W1zzard · Aug 11, 2008

no we are not reviewing a powercolor card this time

Zehnsucht · Aug 11, 2008

Well, if they want to be the first to publish reviews next time around, they better agree with the NDA...

johnnyfiive · Aug 11, 2008

Man.... beautiful card. Can't wait to see the reviews.

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.

Hopefully 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.

Yes, should work fine. Don't need crossfire to run this card, and I don't think the presence of an nvidia chipset should cause trouble.

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

EDT = 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

I don't know why I'm so excited though, I probably wont even buy a new GPU until next year.

CDdude55 · Aug 11, 2008

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.

I know the 4870 X2 will cost more but i think it may be worth it.

Is 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.

sucks for me though because i have to get up so early and press the launch button

CY:G · Aug 11, 2008

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??
