[GauravCJ]

Holy Shi*!!!!!!!!!! Red Camp, ROCK ON!!!

Dear nVIDIA, goodbye! Your GTX350 will probably be priced at around 600$ at launch, and then 550-ish afterwards. While you'll carry on with the enthusiasts, you can kiss main-stream, and mainstream-mid/high segments goodbye. Watch that revenue line boys, I'm sure you're not gonna like it.

Those green bas.tards ripped us off by renaming some old dying cards and selling them as 9 series cards (read: this), so THIS SERVES THEM RIGHT!

ATI FTW, viva la ATi!

(The only thing I feel sorry about in an ironic way is that my PowerColor 4870-1GB gets beaten by this one too! But heck, that's ok. Best wishes to ATi).

Well, it came a few days ago. Got it quite a week early, I mean I saw the reviews many days ago.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Costly, its a premium product.

[GauravCJ]

^ Because of the premium performance.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

That's what even i meant.

[amitash]

very tantalizing price...faster than the 4870x2 at higher resolutions

[comp@ddict]

But the cost is ALMOST the same AFAIK

[nvidia]

Very very impressive.. Awesome card indeed.

@compaddict: same as?

Nopes. 4870 X2 retails for around 28-ish, going for 25 here in B'lore. I asked the price of 4850X2 and it's 18k right now. Seller says it will be about 16k within a month or so.

You are right prices are dropping for ATI 48XX series , 4850x2 will be 17.5K in the january 2009 , but the american dollar should drop little

i am too fast in getting the 4850... ...

NVIDIA shop are Closed for a while

[Harvik780]

The only thing that is keeping me still in nvidia's favor is PhysX which is a +point for me.
ATI rocks now in the main-stream performance segment.
Go ATI Go.

[ionicsachin]

NVIDIA wont come any down, this card is superb but for sure NVIDIA will have answer,
I got super improvements in games after Physx was introduced

[desiibond]

^^ Yes. They are planning their attack. Expect something solid from them soon.

[hellgate]

i'm waiting 4 nVidia to come out with a gr8 gpu.even i'm a nVidia fan but only perf/price ratio made me buy ATi.
1st i'll get the i7 920 rig,after maybe another gpu.

[nvidia]

Yeah the new PhysX drivers did improve performance on my rig to some extent... I'm waiting for games to make use of it.. ATi wont stand a chance then.

[GauravCJ]

^ really? You heard of li'l dragon?

[keith_j_snyder2]

Yeah ur right but nvidia won't sleep for long.
Check http://www.techtrance.net/2008/11/pc...to-gpu-in-2009
I gotta say this site might not have stuff but this one does have some information.

Nvidia will go DDR5 & 40nm finally in 2009! Well ATI is already running on DDR5 but its way too late. Knock knock....wake up nvidia!!

4850X2 owns it. Did u checked the review on the first page? 4850X2 performs similar or even better than GTX280.

Well according to reports, the price of HD4870X2 is about 499$ while HD4850X2 has been priced at about 449$ making it unattractive since u can get 2 HD4850's, 2GB RAM, and a CPU cooler for the xtra.
