I been reading a lot about the 520 which will be annouced in 2 days, but the reality is there is only one benchmark that matters, Can It Actually Be Bought is the new hit game benchmark. I love Ati and have favored them over Nvidia the last 4 years or so because quite frankly they had better cards, But Ati's lack of availability is atrocious to put it mildly. Hardocp touched on that today on their front page. The Grouper Sapphire was reviewed on July 29th here, its now October, still can't buy it or any board for that matter. I always believe it calling like it is, if they annouce these cards, no matter how good they are, if I can't buy it by next week, who really gives a gosh darn how good it performs. I don't know how others feel, but after 10 plus years as a "hardware junky" I am so not into paper launches any more. Just wanna know how folks feel on that, shouldn't they only annouce a product when you can actually buy it? And trust me I am an Ati fan, but it kinda looks flaky to have a bunch of folks go to one place to review a card. They should dozens of samples sent to reviewers.
