haha, I was just building a dream PC on Newegg, lol.

BTW, Newegg removed that option now, I saw it just in time! Can't wait until tomorrow!

Yes Sir

 

[brian]

lol, but cant wait to see the price

 

[Geoff]

I'm thinking it will be about the same as the 2900XT and 3870, as the price for the 4850 is about the same as the 3850 when it was first released.

 

[Ramodkk]

So ^ I'm hoping along the ~$270 line right?

 

[Ethan3.14159]

i think you may be dreaming, but if its under $350 i'll be very happy and ordering one ASAP.

 

[N3crosis]

The 25th? When did this happen I can't wait.

 

[Ambushed]

How would the 4870 perform against the 9800gx2?

 

[Ramodkk]

^ Kornowski made a thread about some benchmarks that show the HD4870 beating the 9800GX2...

But again, some people are saying these benchies are wrong.

[Ambushed]

Holy crap!, lol.

yeah theyre suspicious but believable, hopefully we'll see some more "benchies" soon

 

[N3crosis]

-1 because you reminded me of the song final countdown.... and europe is just a terrible band. shame on you

 

[Justin]

lol. i sort of like that song.

i'm really curious of the price!!! if this card is $400, i might just scrap my idea of getting 8800GT for my next build.

 

[Geoff]

I was right!!! The 4870 was released today, praise omega
