New ATI Cards : HD4970 and HD4995 x2

I'm all for new ATI cards :D! I was kind of hoping ATI would release more powerful single GPU cards to compete with the GTX 285's and such. Can't wait until these mothers hit the market :D

They come out with new video cards so fast:eek: I bought my 8880 when it was like brand new then a few months they'd already made 9000's, and a new series:(
 
ill probaly stick with 4870X2 cause they still uber powerfull and the price will drop :D
 
I love Google Translate so much...

Awesome cards. I'm so glad they're releasing them in the near future. That means I can snag another 4800 series for Crossfire on a budget. Hooray for competition, but I don't think we really need cards that powerful. I mean, the 4870 x2 pretty much stomps every game out there. Imagine two of those cards in Crossfire...

It's getting to the point where our other hardware is actually the bottleneck. Like it matters.
 
I'll probably get a 4870 for Xfire with my 4830, but I'd have to get a new mobo first.
 
i totally agree thats ati is keepin up w/ nvidia. mind u that ati always has 2 take a lil bit of time in matchin up 2 nvidia, but they always try 2 keep in the race. i think the next step is that nvidia needs 2 start lowerin their prices on their cards (esp w/ how the economy is) as well as 2 do more battle w/ ati cost wise.
 
yeah it is almost always that the leaks go to german sites first.

guess i found my second graduation present for may. :P

not a good idea, buddy. You need to have them both be the same number, so stick with two 4870's, a 4870X2, or two 4830's. Dont mix and match, youll lose so much performance and possibly damage the card to the point where you would be better off with only one card.

Looks like ATi will be back on top here soon enough. Cant wait for price drops on several cards. Maybe ill be able to pick up another 4850 to crossfire for a pretty cheap price. I love competition. Its so great for the consumers when 2 companies are going back and forth to beat each other. I think ATi is going to be doin pretty well by the end of the year if they keep this up.

"Possible damage the card"

Excuse me, but you're talking out of your ass. ATI cards can crossfire ANY card in a series. ATI isn't Nvidia where you have the exact same card to SLI.

Seriously, if you think they crossfiring two different model cards is going to PHYSICALLY DAMAGE them, then you need to kindly gtfo.

That's probably gooda's way of "You're wrong". But yea, I can't deny it he could say it a little more friendly

How do you misspeak (well, misstype) that you're going to physically damage your graphics cards?

I stand by my statement.
