it is fantastic having powerful cards at affordable prices thanks to ATI bringing some competition back to the game... and now the beast has been unleashed the 4870x2.

ok so the gtx280 is faster than the 4870.. and ATI bring on the x2 and take the crown.. whats the chances Nvidia bring on something like a gtx280 x2 soon to take it back ?

i dont know how far Nvidia are pushing their limits right now as to how much power they've got left to put into a card thats better than the gtx280 but they better hurry up and do something so we can have some cheap 4870x2's !! :D
 
I disagree, as Much as id love for ATI to continue this trend I think it would be nieve to thing Nvidia didnt have something up their sleeve.
 
I don't know, the GT200b by bumping up the clock speeds with almost the same specs as the original 280 GTX isn't going to do much, unless they add more shaders, increase the ROP's and maybe add GDDR5 might help, and we're talking a card that is a single chipset vs a dual chipset.

And Fudzilla says it might outperform the 4870x2, highly doubt it but who knows?
 
They aren't adding anything. It's a linear shrink, not even a partial redesign like RV670.

This goes back to G70->G71 and G92->G92b (G80/G92 involved quite some improvements, but obviously even with faster R&D that was not a rushjob project)
