you shouldn't be dissappointed mate. its a powerfull card, the most powerfull single gpu card at the moment. my concerns were mainly the price, its a slightly better card than the 5870, but 100-150 quid better???
tessalation is its strong point, when we start to see more games using it this is when you'll feel the real benefits from this card.
have a word with chunky about that big fan he was using, dont think he needs it anymore Very Happy

have you ordered yet??? if not i'll have a scout for prices if i get chance and post em here.

I have always purchased Nvidia and I will stick with them until they let me down, hopefully that will not happen.
As for the temps they are very high under heavy load but if thats what they operate at then thats what they operate at i guess.
As for the price yea they are expensive but that Nvidia for you, nothing really new there.
I do like tessalation idea ad will be great when and if they use more of it Cool

Cheers

I know it sounds bad, and i dont mean to be nasty or owt, but i think the best thing the rest of us can hope for is that it overheats and causes loads of artifacting making it impossible fpr him to hit us Twisted Evil

I am what you call a nvidia fanbois this is true Laughing

But I can 100% assure you my personal view will defiantly be unbiased Wink

The only problem I can see at the moment though is that it maybe too noisey Confused

I don`t like noise!!!!
We will see I guess.
