Make Way the LORD is Here
yep 600$ is high for...... should i say 15-20% increase in performace?????? if its priced alongside with the GTX295 then its worth the moolah....

its because of the DX11 support & nvidia having no competitive products whatsoever .. so its 600$

& its a monster overclocker ...according to reviews, so we can get much more out of it

Bond, Desi Bond!
this should be the best quarter that AMD has in past few years.

Athlon II and Phenom II making merry
Intel paying 1.25billion $ and withdrawing all lawsuites
ATI making merry with DX11 cards
