does anybody know of the release date of this bad boy or around abouts the release date. I might buy it for a new PC I'm making so would anyone recommend it and why. Will it be the best graphics card out at the time? I leave it to you...

It's tomorrow.

And by the looks of this comparison, it won't be a powermonger like the current cards on the market.

Probably untill the 5870X2 and MAYBE untill the GT3XXX series from NVIDIA. But for tomorrow, there's good chances for the 5870 to be the king

I think it's like 2 GTX285's in one card. Not completely sure. Imagine QSLI ...

WHAT? That card alone costs about as much as all of the PC parts I'm using now, along with the OS! (And if you factor depreciation, it's even MORE expensive!)

Yes, Vista will get DirectX 11 (of which DirectCompute is a component) as well. XP and prior are obviously out of luck, though.

Yes it's ridiculus. There's no point. 2 Gtx's would blow that card away and it costs less. I guess it's beacuse it's in one card :P

wouldn't it be cheaper to buy 2 gtx 285 and crossfire them :? even if you have to buy a entirely new pc it would end up being cheaper that card is the alien ware of graphics cards!!! just buy quad 5870 for $1480
