New graphics cards out soon??

March ::eek:
I was advised it would be January. :(

Going to stay with ATI as early reports said they would be back ahead of the pack.
 
Not enough of a step up to warrant buying the GT now.
Suppose I'll just have to wait until march then. Arse.:(
 
ATI HD3870 X2 should be out in january, its a dual gpu graphics card. essentially 2 3870's running crossfire on one board using only 1 PCI-Ex16 slot

note- using 2 of them requires a CrossfireX board as it still counts and Quad crossfire

REally? That just would not make sense. Its like saying one of the cards requires a crossfire board... cause its crossfire.

I am sure two of these would only require a crossfire capable board... and not a quad crossfire capable board.
 
1 of them does require a crossfire board, because its still using crossfire technology on the same chip.

i know its very awkward, otherwise id be getting two of these on any current xfire mobo with 16x lanes, but i have to wait for the Intel P45 Crossfire X mobo, which has 2 16x PCI slots and supports dual, tri and quad Crossfire


( dual could be 2 HD3870, or a single 3870x2, tri would be one of each and quad is two of the x2)
