There will always be people trying to shit on this good news. If you're a pc gamer this should excite you. If it doesn't then somethings up.
So damn true. We haven't had competition at mid range for so damn long. I think Kaduri is finally doing something right and he is bringing back the old ATI mentality back to gpu game. It used to be bang for your buck and we used to major competition. 8800gt, 4870. Man I can't believe how much I rocked the 8800gt single slot version lol. I held on to that thing like crazy. I almost missed those days and this reminds of those days.
I have to give props to Kaduri and AMD marketing team this time. They suck at presentation but man they are not anything leak and holding on to every spec close to chest until hard launch date.
Dont we miss those days? Where we used to have a date for specs/reviews/on shelf the same day? LOL and some people used to snag them few days before. Man those were fun days.
Retailers messing up and selling them few days before lol.
For once I appreciate a hard launch. They gave as little info as they could and just announced the minimum base card for 199. I don't think we would have even heard that had nvidia not paper launched a few cards, AMD probably did this to just get some attention but it was always a hard launch on the 29th of june.
Specs/Reviews/Launch the same day. Good old days!
