ive been reading up on this card for a while, and its about the same as 3 1900XTX or 2.5 1950XTX

pfft. Then you don't really get Dx10 my friend. It's much more shader heavy and the architecture is much more efficient than a beefed up 1900Xtx with ddr4... remember ddr4 is new, therefore it is not the best of the best. ddr3 is a bit older so you get better chips. the real only diff is the lower voltage and heat generated by the memory.

lol u misunderstood what i was saying. I was showing how GOOD it is. for $400-600 ud be paying a total of over $800 in any other card combo. It is going to be a powerhouse (until ati cards come out) and imagine having these in tri-SLI that be like having 9 1900XTX in some weird modded crossfire thing...
Im not going to get a first round card, for i believe Nvidia has something even more powerful for cheaper hidden deep underground

I will say that in some cases ati can come up with better image quality, but not even at the point where the human eye can see the diff.

I used to have ATI, they make damn good cards. I switched to Nvidia and it doesnt look like im going back anytime soon
