    I think it'd be nice if, just to see how much difference it makes, you could do a roundup of benchmarking tests of the same graphics card from multiple vendors.

    XFX! We are missing you. Now that nVidia aren't power hog any more please reconsider them producing.

    Whatever you do... DO NOT BUY FROM GALAXY: they got terrible customer support. I still cringe when I think of that 9800GX2 that I bought from them awhile ago.

    Waiting for 4gb Evga HC Classified. I'll never buy from Asus again. Bought 3 monitor's from them, one got dead pixel lines after 3 weeks of light usage, and there customer support was "HORRIBLE", I bought it new, and it said it came with an 3 year warranty, and an advanced RMA, but they wouldn't do an advanced RMA, and tried pushing a regular RMA on me, and then was gonna send me a used monitor. I refused. Luckily newegg is doing a refund.

    Thats the last thing i'll ever buy from Asus..

    On a side note, I RMA'd a graphics card through evga a few years back, and their support is excellent.

    In most benchmarks the additional costs for boosting the clock speeds is never worth it. If it does not affect cost over base price then an ok perk.

    Edit: the title was fixed.

    Now I just want to see what happens to prices all across the graphics card spectrum over the next month or three.

    is this just marketing or is there actually some news to this? I am almost positive there have been nothing of this for any of the AMD cards.
