| 866616 | 2010-03-16 02:42:00 | Of course I didn't, why would I? My question was which card is the best out of the three I picked, it seems that the HD4890 is the best choice. Now I know Fermi has a release date, I'm interested as to what is going to happen to the prices - though again, it has nothing to do with which card performs better... If the HD4890 drops to $200 that would be nice, but I don't know what is going to happen... Join the throng. None of us know what is going to happen do we? So are you getting a HD4890? |

| 866617 | 2010-03-16 02:59:00 | It's looking that way. The way I see it, the GTX260 is bigger, more expensive, and slower - and the HD5770 is cheaper, smaller but also slower. I don't really care about DirectX 11 and hardly even care about DirectX 10 yet so I've decided that lack of DirectX 11 support on it makes no difference to me. But I'm wondering now if I should wait for Fermi and then see if the price on the HD4890 comes down... |

| 866618 | 2010-03-16 03:23:00 | Well perhaps just keep wondering. Or make a decision. |

| 866619 | 2010-03-16 05:47:00 | Now I know Fermi has a release date, I'm interested as to what is going to happen to the prices Fermi has a release date....but there are many rumours which are fairly substantiated that the chips will be in very, very low quantities and many speculates that the 26th date is probably just a paper launch. And if the recent benchmarks are reliable, then even the GTX 480 wouldn't be much of an upgrade from a 5870 unless it is priced competitively (which nVidia probably won't!) |

| 866620 | 2010-03-16 06:00:00 | I read somewhere that a price of 450 Euros was expected | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 866621 | 2010-03-16 06:15:00 | For a GTX 480? Then expect around $1000 NZ. If that's the price we get I doubt ATI would see it as much of a threat, 5xxx cards will stay around the same price. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 866622 | 2010-03-16 06:16:00 | Sounds about right. The GTX280 was about that when it came out wasn't it? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 866623 | 2010-03-16 07:32:00 | Can't remember. Think it was closer to $800, not $1k. Problem with Fermi is that it's quite an ambitious chip to manufacture. It's apparently much more complex than Cypress is, and if you remember the yield problems Cypress had at the start Fermi has it much worse. I believe they reserve chips with fully functional 512 cores only for Tesla cards, and I think now a 480 Fermi only has some 448 odd cores. |
