Any point in waiting for a price drop?? Though I guess within a month it should drop to say its original 999$??? Or maybe wait for a new rev?? which will oc like rev A0/1???

Buy it, bench it, sell it. My plan. I pretty much never plan on keeping anything i buy. Except for my 3570. lol But then again that might change this time around. Time will tell. On its way.

In India, no overclocker buys a Extreme CPU, only stupid rich showoff guyz buy them who dont even overclock them, and those sort of guyz dont buy 2nd hand stuff.....To sell off a extreme CPU on Indian forums, have to take a 50% hit for sure.......

WD, if i turn it around fast enough possibly only a 150 - 200 dollar hit. I'll take one for the team though. Wheel & deal. Its what i do. Ferengi style. I actually made money on my 5970 and 2 - 5870's.

Banik, Ouch that sucks man. Even though the E-bay/PayPal route sucks the life out of your sale, its the best tool to turn around merchandise. But you're in a bad spot there man.

Yea I hear that but to maximize the bot carnage you have to redo all the 3D as well

that is time consuming. I would imagine though if the speeds are met and the extra threads it will sweep golds on all older cards and will need one to compete with the pending 480 and shore up 5870 numbers

All this will mandate holding on to this chip for at least two months I am thinking ?

GFDuke 03-16-2010 01:28 AM

Well yea its gonna take some time. Probably around 2 weeks if i stick with it. Unfortunately i don't have all of the harware that i've benched with. But i still do have 7 diff. cards to use on it. but only 2 SLI and no crossfire. I have no faith in the 480 series. But time will tell.

Well bro I am excited for ya bro ... you will have to keep us posted on the canabalistic properties of this chip as it sounds like it will eat the i900 series for lunch ..... :thumbsup:

I am leaning on buying ebay ES chip, my brain says it would be foolish and will ruin me if it dies but my heart says thats what is needed to be on top of the game, and then it says dont pump more than 1.8V to be on the safer side, :p
