Translated from who knows what, GT260 performance for $100 less Nvidia's gonna have to make some cuts.

"Jedi major counterattack Radeon HD 4870 the world's first test" (heh)



Yay! Marketing Jargonisms!

Oh boy I love craptacular Chinese(?)-Engrish translastions!

"Enhance the performance of tessellator programmable embedded modules"
I thought that's what Viagra was for hehe!

At least it doesn't use that goofy 6+8pin power hookup.

"As GTX280/260 greater memory capacity, so in effect Crysis such a high priority in the testing, we hope that the HD 4800 series of graphics in memory with 1 G (legend R700 will be equipped with an unprecedented 2 G memory) to have after Better performance, the non-public version of the product that has a sapphire products. "
-Yeah that's what I'm wanting right there, 2GB hah.

"GTX 280 of the performance status can not be shaken king, of course, Radeon HD 4870 opponent is not it, but to 46% of the price 80-90 per cent of the performance, GTX 280 is matt surface."
-Yes a 650$ doormat!

real reviews are out now, some weirdness to go with them, like more than double the performance in CoD4 by running 2 card XF...

good review...

I can't believe these cards, truely amazing price/performance ratio...alot of reviews are saying these cards might be THE BEST CARDS EVER to have been reviewed....I think i may be looking into a 4850...i have seen them as low as $175 which is incredible. The 4870 is supposed to be launched at a $300MSRP....while the GTX 280 is what? $650...good job ATI/AMD...You can't make CPU's for $hit...but you definatly got a good thing going with these new cards!

Can't wait to get a 4870 in August. Hopefully the channels will be flush with stock by that time and the price goes down an widdle bit

And DONE!

I can quote my own stuff too! I mean the 4870x2 in August now.
