Yay they tested it at hexus.net! The card performs awesome and blows the gtx280 away and it runs everygame on maxed settings with ease! Well except crysis, well maybe if you crossfire 2 4870X2's  the "very high" settings are posible on 1680x1050 . The card is going to cost around €400 .

More power testing going on now but we saw 700w system peaks under full CF load.

And how is that related to this topic?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

You weren't right, because you bought the 260 card before the price drops, so it still makes you look like a right mug, especially cos in that Anandtech review, the 4870 still comes out on top in everything but Oblivion and power consumption.

I'm just saying what I see here. I'm no fanboy, I don't own neither cards, and all my cards have been nVidia cards (fx5500, 6600, 7600gs lol)

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Exactly, he was right to the extent he paid £50-70 for a card that is at best on par with a 4870.

700W?

Damn, I was hoping to go tri-fire with my 4870 after I get a new CPU/memory. Looks like I'll need to replace my 600Wer.
