It would be great if they can turn it into a winner .....

That would put the ball back in ATI's court for a possible 5890/485 gun fight

We all win

Shammy's fermi GPU score is 27807, Nick's WR at the bot has a GPU score of only 26070 with a lightning.

The performance is definitely hiding in the 480s, it will be a force in the coming months I bet.

My second lightning was a total failure ... even worse than the first one I had.

Back to newegg it goes, along with all those juicy global points I was going to get this weekend.

That sucks bro .... They seem really hit or miss ... efen worse than betting on a CPU

Matrix or the SOC is what I am waiting for .... Hopefully they will be ready for prime time

MAybe some non reference 480 will hit the streets as well

Once I get back up in June I am preping for an all out assult ... seven cards sitting here plus what ever is the global slut as of then ..........

I managed to smash through an artifact-riddled vantage run @ 1250, but any more than 1.3v and Id get wild stuff happening even on desktop, and 3d would crash immediately.

Once again, every reference 5870 I have owned was better than this high dollar pos.

Sorry to hear that Dent MSI sure did a number on this one

You were always happy flying the Rom flag Winger. This Klingon red shit is hard to handle sometimes. They sure did screw with you.
