I'm just looking through the test results, and I am astounded.
I mean, I was impressed with 4850, but ATI is now officially take the fucking cake!
The 4870 is priced at 229$ if I remember correct?

Jesus christ, these results are... mindblowing!

$299, but point stands, yes.

Now think about who will have the best performance for $600+ ... and it's not going to be the GTX280.

 

Are there any radeon manufacturers that offer lifetime warranties like BFG, XFX, or EVGA for Nvidia cards?

 

 

Hehe, having second thoughts are we? ;P

Not any that I know of, but I've always been an nVidia man. Looks like that's about to change

I'm still waiting to see what happens in price, but if they offer a good performance for the price and they have a good warranty, I'll consider it. However, I do want to see what'll happen to the price of Nvidia cards before I do anything.
