This card, even if it were as good as happy medium wants it to be, is just not for me. Im holding out for a singel high end card, which i can then Crossfire/Sli.
Thing is, i want to do this without even having to worry about heat, noise or power consumption. The 5870 would have been that deal if i was in the market 6 months ago.
Im looking forward to whatever comes next to be honest. Either a refresh of Fermi, or a 68xx
If these cards, in SLI, can surpass a gtx480 for 200 bucks each, it would seem a good deal.
Thanks for the explanation guys.
I really don't need a super high end card. I game mostly at 1600x1200 or at 720p on the 37 inch lcd with plenty of aa/af.
I'm not paying $300+ for a card (5850) and I really don't want to crossfire just yet because sometimes games are not crossfire ready at launch.
A 5830 is too exspensive for it's performance and a 5770 is too slow.
A gtx 460 would be just what I'm looking for to get me through till the ati/fermi refresh.
