I built a new rig 3 weeks ago (Intel CD2 Wolfdale @4.0GHz, 4GB Dominiator, etc. etc.) and a spanking new 3870x2 and after reading this review I just may go out and pick another one up. I really think ATi is on the right track again and putting out products that are worthy of enthusiast...

There is not one shred or semblance of scientific testing with HardOcp. You are merely taking Brent or Kyle at their words it's that simple. I'm ok with that and so are many others because as readers we trust them. But lets stop petting our asses on this one, their testing is in no way...

We can all blame this man for the current state of malaise in our beloved video performance sector. Please...please...line up in single file ...baseball bats up near the front, shotguns in the rear. God I hate that man.

LOL PFFFFT....are you kidding? I have three of those hooked up to an overclocked P2 Celeron OC'd in an old refrigerator for guidance trajectory... and I live in South Florida.

What really is the most depressing part is not only was 2007 a complete hardware flop but it was one of the best years for PC game titles Everyone on the hardware front completely and utterly failed to match the Development houses in making 2007 a really spectacular year. Let's hope they...

Fellas this is not hard to understand. How is AMD, who not only is a generation already behind Intel and possible rumors of really being two generations behind going to somehow leap over that. How in God's holy name could AMD leap over two generations when their Phenom processors will bring in...

No wonder Hector is leaving ...because sure as all hell he was going to be given the boot after todays reviews. Wow...just plain wow. This just rounds out the most perfect year of disappointments for me on the hardware front. Never again will I wait for another platform ever again. I was...

Just to add to Kamerific comments, Part of loving this hobby is really getting behind groups of engineers and rooting for them. Brand loyalties in video cards is really no different than automobile enthusiasts. Our hobbies bring us massive amounts of joy and we feel compelled to give back our...

Well after messing around with all the resolutions I found one setup that I am happy with until my new AMD Spider rig is purchased a few weeks from now. My current rig. AMD 4000+ Single Core @ 2.6GHz ATi X1900XTX 2GB DDR 533 memory. Dell 2405 24" LCD Monitor I can either play at...

Honestly Dude a 30" Dell is not really a Gamers panel if you want to experience the absolute latest games with everything turned up. You are always going to be one or possibly two generations behind before you can really appreciate it at that resolution. To be honest I think the 24" Dell's...

Unless of course AMD new modus operandi is to release upper mid range cards and if you want "Flagship" performance you need to go Crossfire. Which I think is a total cop out.

LOL how is it that they could have shown us all those demo movies this past year at E3 and such with the cards out then but now it runs like hummus? Something cannot be right, unless of course that explains why AMD is pushing quad Crossfire and Nvidia's tri fire :D

It wasn't rage, it was needed. Because like clock work every time ATi comes out with a card for the past couple of years you begin to talk down their latest offering. All anyone has to do is bring up old threads about new launches and there you are doing your bit. My contention was simple...

...and you know this how? :rolleyes: You keep harping on how this card is no big deal, nothing to see here people move along type posts, with ZERO to back it up. Why not wait for Brent's review eh Chief.

*If They fixed the AA. They fixed the memory latency. Shrunk the thing smaller than my peeper in a cold shower. Raised the clock speed. Added faster memory. Made it cheeper for consumers. This is a bonified win for ATi not so much for being competitive again but for...
