Hey Shannon....

Anand is saying that on the 768 card the extra ram is "disabled." Does this mean the extra controllers can be re-enabled by a bios or hard mod? How fun would that be?

Has anyone compared these to, say, a 285?

About the same. It really depends on res and AA. It seems for most games a single one of these (1gbs) is good up to 1920x1200, but at 2560x1600 it either falls on its face, or does when AA is added.

I just relised you can get an EVGA 470 for $300 - 13.2% BCB $260 total at tiger, making it not much more then one of the 1gb 460s.

honestly they fall between a 260 and 275 in overall performance, but will beat a 285 in some situations

anybody see how they do against the 5830

this seems to be the price point they are competing at

just saw a 5830 for $ 184.00 on the egg

Scaling seems epic from what I have read so far

But all the reviews I have seen pit them against the 5770 witch is below there price point ?

Agreed C, I think they will become hardware monsters at ta Bot

What reviews? The ones I read from anandtech, techpowerup, [h], guru3d, etc... are all putting it against the 5830.
