Sapphire 4GB '5990' unvieled

hm.... i actually read they are skipping 32 and heading straight for 28

lol, I'm getting my GPU's and CPU's mixed up - all these damn new fabrications :p

I should have said 40nm...

Still, I doubt we'll be seeing a 28nm this year.
hm... might not be this year but should be by early next... and then again it may surprise us and be this year :)

In the end for now ATI got my money until I cant run anything nice anymore. I am not the richest person I rather buy new tires to be at the track and other things. Other people have priorities in what they need also. I know some people are always upgrading and getting the next best thing but thats those people. Went from ATI TO NVIDIA TO ATI to I am not sure what will be next but what matters for me is price for performance and ATI/AMD have been doing a good job.

And about 480 and 5990 and issues. Depending on how strong each of them are regardless of dual or single gpu and etc I think price will pay a heavy factor unless your a fanboy. If the 5990 is cheaper yet is on par with the 480 I dont think NV will have much cash going to them. Feels like Apple running Mac OS X to another PC that do about the same thing right now.
