If these benchmarks are true, the 4870 will be an absolute bargain. I was debating about getting a 9800 GTX+ (they went December to June without a new WHQL driver release? Unacceptable), but the lack of support for my 8800 GTS (i.e. drivers mentioned earlier and lack of promised physics support so far) may lead me back to AMD/ATI.

What's the planned price for the 4870? $349? I'm sure it'll be much lower; ATI always retails much lower than the MSRP (ex. 4850s going for like $130 after MIR on Newegg).

Dave, thanks for the new thread but you forgot to sticky it :)

Pitchfork gives tha Carter III a 8.7 out of 10

it's okay for ITI to like the album now:P

Orlando_Magic

Ill say it....I bought 4 copies.

standard.

deluxe.

target deluxe.

Itunes.

Now I think its an amazing album. falls short of classic tho. Dont Get It is kinda pointless and way too long, and LA LA is just stupid on every level. cut out another track or two and put better material like "Eat You Alive ft luda" it WOULD have been a classic.

I want to hear all the unheard material so I know what should have been on it.
