who would run a game at 2560x1400? how much money would you have to spend on a monitor that would even show it?

God hates console fanboys.

its a toss-up but really nVidia is a bit better due to Linux driver support.

I think that might be a misprint. Maybe it's 2560x1600?

Many vendors sell monitors that have that for a native resolution.

I'd buy ATI if they would get their linux drivers sorted out. (well, I did just get a SLI board...so no ATI for me for a while )

and for that price i would expect it to be made out of solid gold

WOW THOSE SPECS ARE UNHEARD OF 2GB CARD DAMN!!!!

its two 4870s on one PCB... why woouldnt it have 2GBs?

anyways, still under impressed, crossfireX support sucks but for some ars reason the 4870X2 + 4870 = good. WTF???????

Wait for nVidia to release their next card. Think the GT280 was powerful for a card, you can get for under $400, then just wait.

That sounds like a Sony PR statment, just wait, please...

Still I doubt a lot of nVidia lately, they have so many issues, with chipsets, integrated graphics, discrete gpus, and now the power is not enoug to keep the high prices, maybe the next gen will be better, maybe...

By me:
