Nice... XF 5850's it is then.
 
I am really surprised how well the 5850 held up to the GTX470. And I say held up, I mean kept the GTX470 in second place in almost every benchmark while being available for $250. Anyone who purchases a GTX470 after seeing these results wears some pretty green tinted glasses.
 
quote from the man.

That all said, the GF100 is not a 5800 or 2900 redo, but it sure makes you think about it.

a Brilliant conclusion to the amazing review.
 
It's actually Brent's review.

He relates Metro 2033 to Fallout 3 but it's more Stalker than anything.

Kyle does have some awesome videos with sound at the end. Wow, that 480 sounds like a dustbuster for sure.

Great review. I'm also interested in seeing image quality comparisons. I know the 5870 really improved anisotropic filtering quality (at least according to [H]'s review) and I'm interested in seeing how Fermi fares to that.

For me at least there is no performance reason to get a GTX 480 and ATI's Linux support is finally what I can call half-mature. Unless Fermi can offer me significantly better image quality I'm going to have to pass.
 
Finally DX11 benches of Dirt 2.

All 3 ATI cards beat out Nvidia compared to all the released benches by Nvidia that were DX9 only.
 
I can't believe I'm saying this, but nice review Brent & Kyle.
