Phoenix Wright Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 The 5850 barely fits in my cabinet, it's almost as wide as my ATX-form mobo. I wonder how big these things will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 My bad 5870 is 23.5k , so i guess Nvidia should launch 470 for 20k in india, if they want to compete... Still overpriced. Should be around 17.5k at launch. That'd be a sweet spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushy Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 one thing i would like to say is that, ATi/Raedon cards are stuck onto the 256 bit unless it's a ** X2 card where it goes upto 512 bit, Nvidia does a good job on it's card regarding this factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about bandwidth remaining the same or some stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 one thing i would like to say is that, ATi/Raedon cards are stuck onto the 256 bit unless it's a ** X2 card where it goes upto 512 bit, Nvidia does a good job on it's card regarding this factor They x2 cards are not actually 512 bit. That is marketing bullshit. They are simply 256x2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
