Take it as you want it, i see you have a X1900, how long have you had it for???? And you probably pay what??? 500 to 600. Well when the new cards come out, it will probably be for almost the same amount, and the current X19 will get a lower price. I bought a X850XT for almost 500 dollars, about a year ago, it retails today for 150, that is discusting. :laugh:

I've ordered it the day they were released, January 23rd for $600. When the new cards come out this fall I'll probably be upgrading again anyway. I have two PC's to maintain so the parts in this one with move to #2. The parts out of the second PC now will go to family or a friend. I also think the prices and depreciation is bad, but what are we gonna do about it?

ATI = EA Games, flipping out a card a month, so they can make more money?

I really hope nvidia gets it act together with the g80, otherwise ati is gonna win the next round too. Still, ati's warranty kills it for me, I mean 1 year? What a joke. I'll stick with my bfg lifetime, thanks.

Powercolor and visiontek both offer lifetime warranties on their cards, just so you know

Re: The Secret Weapon Unveiled: R590 ATi X1950XTX

did i say i have the money to burn? no i just dont understand people complaining about new products.

Dont get me wrong i love when technology evolves, but us the enthutiast end up paying for it on the end. We always want the fastest and greatest. Trust me it is great news, but it just hurts my wallet. Ofcourse i am not buying one, I'll probably wait till next year, is just that VGA are expensive and everytime they upgrade(6 months sometimes 3), the top of the line card you bought for 500 loses half of it's value, so there's no such thing as a good invesment with VGA. Newer games require more and more proccesing power everyday. :)

quit your whining all of you

FIRSTLY
its better for the buyer as he gets a better product at lower prices next time he/she buys

its better for the graphics industry as a whole as if ati have the best graphics card it give ati a larger market share

evening up the graphics card wars = more competition = better more affordable graphics card

SECONDLY
its only going to be a little faster than a x1900xtx/7900gtx xtreme

at least 4/5 of the people here dont like ati if this was an nvidia card you would all be praising how good its going to be

also to the guy with the x850xt sell it on ebay and ship worldwide get more than $150 for sure

What's bad about new cards coming out all the time? It seems like it has no downsides... And it's not like they are making you buy it :)

This card looks pretty sweet--can't wait to see some benches. And hopefully the price isn't too high :), although I definitely won't have the money to buy one.
