God it's about time! :-) I'm thinking of upgrading to my first ATI card later this year from a 8800GTX. I'm going to wait for Intel and AMD's offerings and hopefully the 4870x2 will be out by then too. Good times for us consumers. Go AMD.
I wouldn't wait for intel's offerings... chances are they won't come up with anything worth.
Go AMD! I really like their product since ATi regained itself in the market.
As an NVIDIA fan, hats off to AMD. I love a competitive market.
I'm gonna grab a 4870 ASAP.
GO AMD ! been ATI supporter all the time.
