Does anyone know when this bad boy is coming out??? Im really interested to see how it performs against a normal 4870 and a 4870X2. I wont be buying another card until I really get the best bang for my buck.

Not at the same speed.



my mistake, most cards like this are simply adding more ram with the same slow speeds, making the extra memory almost worthless. I assumed it was the same
