They still aren't competitive in my book. At least now it's only a mild ripoff.

Price drop for Nvidia's partners, not necessarily the same price drop at retailers.

550$ for a gtx 280 and 370$ for a gtx260. the 4870 is still a hella of alot cheaper and offer equal if not better performance then a gtx 260 and even a gtx 280!!!

nnvida must be sweating right now to have lowered there prices so soon :D. now if ati respond with a price drop of there own that would be awesome imigine a hd4870 for 250-270$ and a hd4850 for 170-180$ :D. what with nvidia do then ? they can only lower prices so much b4 there losing money and it will likely be months b4 nvida could get out its mid range cards to comptere with ati 4850 by then ati will most likely have seized that market :D

That's capitalism for ya'. It's always a healthy sign of competition when corporations are trading punches.

can you show me CrossFire HD4870 VS : Sli GTX 260 haven't see any with the spec of game : like what resolution was it : how much AA & AF : what Game detail some medium all high or all high and all very high that stuff
cause Yet I saw on 3dguru & Other place that SLi 260 & 280 GTX kick ass of any Cross-fire Set But The Tri-sli Over KILL any card now that they drooped 90$ : it make easly safe : over 200$ For a Sli pair : and 300$ for a Tri sli pair. glad it finally cheaper finally 1,600$ Tri Sli Build of Best Video card on market
instead of 1.900$+TAX GO NVIDIA

i want more Review of ATI TO Switch from nvidia before. nvidia always offered me performance even if expensive =)
Cause Yet i know that I heard off everywhere : ATI & Crysis are not compatible. to VERY high 50FPS : 1920x1200 in Tri-fire
and by Very high : absolute the 10 Graphic detail option to it max impossible with Quad sli Gx2: finally possible on 1920x1200 scale.


can tri fire HD4870 or will HD4870X2 Quad Fire will perform any same on majority of video game i know ATI less expensive
but will it perform well ? and the cooling solution ?
thx you for ur answer or not. im waiting =)
benchmark is the only way to prove ur right. comparison of benchmark : cpu : ram : make a differance
like if they use in benchmark a Q6660 or a E8500. or a Q9750X there is difference. But The Video card in the end is alway 10 fps near it.

i read-ed all review from : bit-tech : 3dguru : tomhwardare : amandtech : 3dGamesman : hardocp : Gamespot
about those video card and new pc hardware

what about my wall of text =) ?
aint my word is coherent im speaking mainly that id like to see : Crossfire vs SLI review : THE HD4870 & incoming X2 model of it in Qua CF (Crossfire vs : SLI & Tri sli GPU On most of video game like crysis & every game who Exceed in high demand of video card
im talking a review benchmark score can change from a cpu difference by few Frame rate if i use a E8500 3.16ghz or 4.3ghz
a big difference But mainly what change the result is the video card
i hope we get into more benchmark detail so we people get what we want for our money not scrap that work half the way as it should

by fps i mean frame rate per secoond : there being without tri-sli GTX 280 no way to get Crysis around 50 frame rate with every detail of cryiss wich is 10 Detail option : only 5 : setting very low :low : medium : high : very high = max if im right
there is texture quality : shader quality : physic quality : object quality : Shadow quality : particle quality : post processing quality
Game Effect Quality and Volumetric Qualtiy once all those set to high ur game get laggy often but when to all very high barely unplayable yet before the 1600$ Around GTx 280 Build wich from 3dguru.com Show it possible before End 2009 when nvidia
gonna releash there GDDR5 Build Video card With there own way of doing thing
with rumour of a PCi express 3.0 by 2010 or end 2009 why ? i wonder.
