I think I might end up pulling the trigger before I even see 6870 performance lol.
Better do it super quick, you're running out of time. What, 12 hours left?

Hehehehei said I might but not anymore:Nvidia PR +1
AMD PR 0

I like the sound of this price war ... fight fight!
The actual cuts are:
NVIDIA has cut prices of two key SKUs, the GeForce GTX 460 1 GB and GeForce GTX 470:
* GeForce GTX 460 1GB: US $199; 169 including VAT
* GeForce GTX 470: US $259; 219 including VAT

I'm kinda worried that just one 6-pin connector will limit its OCing potential.Now did AMD actually think NV would do nothing and let HD6850/6870 beat up on GTX460 768/1GB? They should have expected some response.
It's going to be a lot more interesting to see reviews of HD6850 vs. GTX460 1GB and HD6870 vs. GTX470. I still think AMD has a good lineup based on additional features and lower power consumption. I bet with overclocking the HD6850 can even beat the 470.

Yeah it would be 6870 vs 470. so it will be either 100W less power, less heat (im guessing), quieter vs physx and cuda. 3d vision doesnt count anymore.
Good times ahead.
Yes, AMD is using that as a PRO, many people have a quandary supplying even 1 6 pin, never mind 2.Does it really only have 1 power connector? If that's true then maybe AMD wants to limit overclocking so as not to cannibalize 6870 sales?
Just saw the leaked benchmarks. Wow the 6850 is impressive.

EVGA GTX470 + Mafia 2 for $230 at Newegg.
does anyone know anymore details about AMD's 3d? as far as glasses etc?

you would hope so since my gtx 460 768 @ 905/4400 is ~ gtx 470 and I've seen several people run theirs at significantly higher speeds than that.

Overclocked GTX460s don't exist to AMD because their cards will also overclock another 30%. :thumbsup:
Hahahah wooops the hd6870 is barely able to overclock in the beyond3d review (~55mhz or so).
This is terrible news for those of us whose CPUs can't really make use of a new card anyway (and who can't afford a CPU/motherboard upgrade)!
All these cheap cards that one can't really gain any benefit from!
Am I likely to get any benefit at all upgrading to any of these from an 8800gt if I only have a 5600 athlon64 x2 CPU? Or is it new PC or nothing?
