    So in conclusion AMD already have a faster card on the market, and have a new release around the corner as well?

    It’s worked out pretty sweet for me. My GTX 280 just blew on Thrusday and I needed a new graphics card. With the GTX 580 coming out, I’ve managed to pick up a monster card (ATI HD5870) for a mere £180.

    This was the single fastest card on the market until 5 days ago. Only thing that beat it was SLI and Crossfire Configs, as well as dual cards such as the HD5970.

    Happy Days.

    Got it from ebay mate, was a damn good deal.

    I was gonna pick up a GTX 470 for £175 which is a good card in it’s own right but I saw the HD5870 for £5 more, would have been silly not to buy it.

    The guy I’m getting it from has 2, he’s selling his crossfire setup with 2 of these to buy 2x GTX 580s. That’s £800 for a marginal performance upgrade, the guy must be nuts.
