is this a dual GPU card? first time ive seen a single GPU card with 4 outputs on it if it is.

Aztroth · Sep 22, 2009

single gpu. there are no multi-gpu solutions released, as of yet.

ciku · Sep 22, 2009

price is not really that bad...

ratbuddy · Sep 22, 2009

Is $380 even a deal?

Neuromancer · Sep 22, 2009

WEll MSRP was supposed to be $400 last I heard, so after Newegg price gouging I would say it is a deal.

When it comes down to $300 I will start looking for used ones

BossBorot · Sep 22, 2009

I can't wait to see what all the early adopters think of this card.

Well, MSRP is $379. No big deal in the OP.

SteveLord · Sep 23, 2009

$380 for the next card that is prolly only 10% faster than the last one at best?

Naw, it's closer to 15-20% faster than a GTX 280/285. Doesn't beat a GTX 295 or 4870X2 though :-/

I don't like that picture of the girl they put on the card. She has to much attitude.

It doesn't beat the 4870X2? I figured it would at least tie it since it has the same number of SPs. I thought it was just double everything that the 4870 had, but w/ a smaller process (40nm), and a few small arch changes. That and since all the SP's are in the same die you don't have to deal w/ inter-die latencies.

It's basically even with 4870X2 overall. Ahead in some stuff, behind in others. It's pretty much the same jump Nvidia made going from the 9800GX2 to GTX 280.

glad to see another person like me

I hate it when they put stupid graphics on stuff

id rather just have one solid color at that point

CharlieCS · Sep 23, 2009

The card is between gtx 295 and 4870x2 performance , and that's with beta drivers , its beats both on some games so performance will likely increase with new drivers releases .
