Huzzah! Can't wait for the 4870. With all the uberFUD about the new Green Team cards coming out, with crap yields and the price/performance being in the toilet maybe the DAaMiT will have a good 6 months or so till the next die shrink.

Don't really know what that knob thing is between the DVI ports is though.

Aren't these supposed to have that funky new video port.

Just a word of caution for those of you using Internet Explorer to not click on that link.

I use Firefox here at work but for the life of me couldn't log into the MB forums using it because I forgot my username/password combination. IE still had me logged in so I've just been launching it when I want to check out this forum and I clicked this link this morning only to have to fight with a pop-up adware bug that also disabled the use of Google in Firefox. I can only assume they threw in that extra bit to make you have to use IE for searches and then get hit with pop-ups again. Also I found that sites with banner ads would reload the banners like crazy making the page very slow. I'm guessing they load them under their account and keep swapping them quickly to rake in the page views which they probably get paid by.

Anyways, just thought I'd let anyone else know who may be using IE. Otherwise I'm very interested in hearing more about the card... hence clicking on the link so quickly this morning when I did. :)

I'd say something has gone funky with the link, it was fine earlier.

Could be, but it was either that site or these forums, and something tells me Rob (Or is it Spite who Admins the site?) doesn't really have a need to pump my browser full of ads for flooring companies. ;)
