    ? This launch is the same as every launch since R300 back in 2002. $500-700, and this falls on the side closer to $500. Not really sure why you expected your made up hopes to come true.

    Because it's nVidia's fastest single gpu card, just like this is AMD's fastest, single gpu card. What does it matter what the reviews compare it to? They can compare it to the 8800 GTX for all they wanted.

    really sad they crippled their own release by a greedy price point. Imagine the reaction at $450, or even $499.

    yup. My 4870x2 crushes even the latest single gpu cards but gameplay experience is no where as close. Micro stutter, sli quirks, and frame spikes (more like dips). FPS isn't the only metric that needs to be measured - the quality and consistency of FPS plays a huge role.

    32 rops would be death for this card.

    The 2nd bios is identical to the first, there is no 'overclock switch'

    AMD to launch new flagship Radeon HD 7970 desktop graphics card on December 22.

    Take it with a grain of salt, Fud is known to make up articles for hits.

    GTX 570 x 2 and SWTOR

    Did you try the beta nVidia drivers? As always with xfire and sli... new game = need new SLI/crossfire profile.

    nVidia cards always under perform at launch. Look at Fermi (worst performance per watt in the business), GTX 560 (which required ti variant to be competitive), etc..

    How to deal with it: Make sure the single card in your dual card setup hits vsync. Then whats the point of the dual card?

    really hope the 7990 isn't a sandwich card. Micro stutter makes them useless.
