Oh yeah before people say, the 5970 is better than a 470/480.. Remember the 470/480 is a single GPU compared to the 5970's dual GPU.
In terms of performance, the 470 even outshines the 5970. 1 core vs 2 cores, and 1 core wins... ergo the 470's are value for money.
I love the fact CUDA is getting so much stronger (Something ATI cards dont have either), and Just Cause 2's water effects are stunning.
Also another feature missing from ATI cards is Physx. And that looked great on the new BF2.
I have my 3 pre-ordered, they dont come out until the 12th But hey, thank god my PSU will handle it :P
u know what i was about create a similar thread a few days ago. 12th april is the launch date. both the cards look awesome and have really good specs. expensive...very...but good. i'll get one for sure. it would be really nice DAB's..if u or someone could post its actual power consumption and temp. under full 3D load.
I want one! Scratch that, I want two or three, as many as i can cram in my case!!
from what i know so far..its power hungry and heats quite a bit.
