But really, I hope the cards do great after all of this.
EXACTLY!
they've gotten so dishonest and act like apple now
usually there is a NDA on video cards and different reviewers get it but can't disclose until NDA expires so Tomshardware already has tested the cards and is doing write ups to be published tomorrow. same as everyone else
if fermi forced the 5870 down to $300 i'll buy
They must have hired the guys who keep bigfoot and space aliens under wraps. If Fermi doesn't do well, then nVidia should look at getting into the Information Security business.
Because ATI's cards were on time and first to release this generation, there really isn't much more of an explanation beyond this. The "immense coverage" and hype that people speak of is not unique to Nvidia. Anyone remember all the hype built up over the HD2900 XT? This card was also released six months after the competition, but had trouble competing against the 8800GTS in performance, while consuming significantly more power then the 8800GTX. Stop trying to put ATI up on a pedestal.
