Just bought a case of troll blocking energy drink. Hi Mental, nice to see you here.:thumbsup:

 

[scooterlibby]

Maybe a dumb question, but why does it have less SP's than the 5970?

Because its the quality of the sp's that count. The chip was reworked.

Best explained here.

Good to see. :thumbsup:

 

[happy medium]

Good to see.

I had those same girls over my house admiring my gtx460, traders!

 

[MentalIlness]

Well, both the 6870 and the 6970 have less SP's than the 5870. Which is why the 6990 has less than the 5970.

So you call me a troll, and then say something nice to lessen the heat ? No thanks.

There is only one troll so far in this thread. Just remember this, Nvidia will NOT be outdone.

 

[WelshBloke]

So when do the mainstream reviews get posted?

In no way was I calling you a troll, sorry I thought we were buds.

Anytime now reviews should start popping up. I'm checking 15 different website every hour. :thumbsup:

 

[Skurge]

Well, if its GMT, should be a few mins.


I call dibs on anadtech, so don't go there and slow down the site till I'm done.

Its never GMT.

I shall go to bed and read them in the AM.

Well maybe I'll have just the one brandy and wait a few minutes :hmm:
