Great card but not worth getting if you play on 3 monitors and have a 7970 they trade blows at 5760x1200 I think im set for awhile.

I was saving up 500 bucks for the new ipad, but this looks mighty tempting. Looks like a good replacement for my 6950...

Right. For people with a 7970, it's up to them, but probably not worth the hassle of sell/buy for a loss for a few percent.

But it's the definitive choice atm for people looking to upgrade from older generation cards, at least until we see an AMD price drop (if there is one).

Do you think a i7 Bloomfield (ie 920, 960) can drive this card?

of course it can

I am going to pick this up for my new build, it probably overkill since monitor will only do 1920x1080

You were the one saying it did poorly at high resolutions, obviously that's not the case, and you've been very vocal in the rumors thread.

Yes, that's what I was saying based off the information supplied. Obviously that's not the case, but the gap does get much narrower at higher res.

Obviously it's a good release from nvidia.

He'd be the first person here touting he was right.
