I got rid of my HD4670 hoping to pick up an HD4770. But with newegg being sold out of them for the past week, I just finally couldn't resist anymore and bought an HD4890...plus the HD4890 had a black PCB which I fell in love with.

lol... doesnt it have 1200 RISC cores? technically its already a 1200 Core CPU.

Dont forget that 4770 almost beats 4850 (640 vs 800).

Lower TPD, will allow 3 gpu's on a single card ?5870X3?

with just a 33% increasement in shader/rop/power, they will have a smaller DIE, lower TPD, even lower cost
Price them high as 4870 retailed, ati is for alot of cash till GTX300 comes out, with 512 bit memory bus, and a big ass DIE, sure gonna cost alot!

nvidia goes for the crown, ati goes for the crowd!

We just have to wait and see!

Now if we can only get a game to run DX10.1 from the ground up before we "jump" to DX11.

Well DX11 will not fail. I just want to see a game utilize the current technology before jumping to 11.

CPU- 2yr
Vid- 1yr
Mem-2yr (Additions are allowed like 4GB to 8GB at anytime between then, this just means like DDR2 to DDR3 ect..)
Mainboard- Varies- mostly will stick with the CPU lifecycle
