Originally posted by: ShadowOfMyself How can people compare this to Nvidia releasing the GTX280 at what was it, 649$?

Originally posted by: thilanliyan Hey BFG, are you going to do a new IQ analysis with the 5770? Yes, absolutely; I’m working on it right now.

Originally posted by: yh125d So then your case allows full height cards? Why qwould you even mention wanting low profile cards then, theres no benefit unless you're stuck with a slim case Oops. If low profile is about height, I got it totally wrong. I thought it was about power consumption and noise.

Ya, I heard the exact same thing today. Not even X58, how retarded is that. Also, does Guru3D live in the future?
