the only question now that remains is: Should I buy 4870 X2 or 2 4870 and pair them via CrossFire  . As far as I can see the only 'bottleneck' thing are the drivers. But in the first review they said that even one 4870 can beat Nvidia, so again I dont see the problem

Sadly, with my finances getting sorta shitty for the next few months (Part of my scholarship fell through for school) I have to pay a significant amount to my school. Probably won't be seeing a new card until the earliest christmas.
4870x2 should be pretty cheap by then, and maybe some games worth playing on the PC that require a card of that quality ;D

ATI can't compete with nvidia tbh but it's cheap and that what makes it best quality/price on the market
but I doubt prices would be this low if they were in nvidia's place now

Umm..... What?
The X2s will be the most powerful cards on the market. |

If you wrote that a month ago it would be true, now nVidia is falling behind again. They've also decided to skip support for DX10 and DX10.1 entirely, plus have lost a wagonload of money recently.
The 4850 has become a best seller, beating the 8800GT/S as the best price vs. performance-card on the market. And this even before proper drivers have been released.

ATI is such a better brand name anyway, AMD feels so muddy to say. ATI is clean and sharp sounding.

| Quote: | | AMD has one or two plans for next year, not that we would call them surprises, but they do have some shock value. AMD is first of all going to shrink things with the RV740 core. If you hadn't already figured it out, 40 means 40nm. This GPU is slated for Q1 2009. Somewhere around there, AMD will be giving the the final touches to its next "high-end" GPU RV870, using the same node. So far, the only thing we know about it is based on a lose rumor that says it will have 2000 shader processors. Considering the mere size of ATI's shaders, it's not unfeasible, but it's still too early too say anything really. |

While we prepared this article, we talked to several industry sources, who requested to remain anonymous, and we are somewhat convinced that the current price cuts are just the beginning. The competition between Nvidia and AMD/ATI will become more serious.
For example, we heard that some vendors consider the launch of the GTX 260/280 series as “the worst product launch in the history of Nvidia” and Nvidia may be selling “less than 3000 GTX 260/280 cards per month” in the North American etail market. This scenario not only creates a huge problem for Nvidia, but also for retailers that are now trying to find solutions how to move their stock.
It seems that some large stores have given up on putting extra effort in promoting GTX 260/280 cards for now and are changing their strategy towards other products that are easier to sell. Interestingly, Newegg.com appears to be leading the charge, heavily promoting 8800 GT cards directly against the GTX 280: “Whatever your favorite game, an Nvidia GeForce 8800GT in SLI mode (that's 2) provides the best bang-for-the-buck performance for less than $299,” the promo ad reads.
Is it a move to save quarter sales or is Newegg just clearing out its inventory? Your guess is as good as ours. Our sources indicated that AMD/ATI will be reacting soon. So expect the rivalry between Nvidia and AMD/ATI to intensify. Watch the big etail websites to see the battle unfold. |

Just hope they don't start charging for drivers to recoup hardware cost losses ! |

Even though i've religiously bought Nvidia based product's when it come's to GFX card's i'm very glad to see ATI are pushing to keep Nvidia at high pulse rate, to be honest, i'm seriously thinking about instead of going with a new Nvidia based M/B, maybe switching to ATI and having some option's in the future when it come's to the graphic's market. wil be nice to have both side's of the graphic's market's to choose from, without having to be situated to one particular manufacturer.

You can put an AMD card on an nVidia motherboard, but can't have CF. You can put an nVidia card on an Intel/VIA/whatever motherboard, but you can't have SLI. You lose something either way.

I'm an nVidia fan boy but I will say i'm glad ATI is back in the game cause this will help AMD out on the cash flow and keep them in the game to challenge Intel. I'm a AMD fan boy but was disapointed with them in there initial Phenom launch and went to the Intel camp for this build. But dont get me wrong ATI/Nvidia both have good products just Nvidia let there ego get to them and overpriced there stuff because of this and now ATI is back in for the fight. In the end this will even out for Nvidia as they have made a shit load of cash along the way. But like I said i'm an Nvidia fan boy glad to see ATI back in the game cause this means I get nvidia for cheaper heheh. If ATI can have the same quality in drivers that Nvidia has I might even switch over one day.
