1151466 2010-11-10 22:30:00 It's an impressive card no doubt about that, but all it is is Fermi done right. And now nVidia being the morons that they are will be milking consumers for something the GTX480 should have been. $1099 at CL! Seriously!

That is CL price gouging!, you can get the MSI580 for $791 via price spy!

1151467 2010-11-11 01:50:00 Whats blowing me away with the ATi 6800 series is is the vastly improved Crossfire scaling.

A couple of cheap ish $300 ATI HD6850's beat out a single $800 GTX 580 (just), but they do it with less power and noise than a single GTX580. For me at least, this is the first time CF or SLi is somewhat tempting.

Yes, however, you have to also consider min frame rate, which the CF\SLI combo will always poorer results....

Looks like AMD are having issues getting 69xx out the door, NDA (final clock etc) 13th, yet threads seem to think its will be a paper launch with cards not arriving until next year??...(haha)

There's always something new on the horizon - just get the 680 or whatever it will be called when they're released :)
