GIMME!

I want to see plenty of game benchmarks before I pull any triggers, but if these are really good then I shall jump on them like a starved Walrus jumps on Maccy D's.

Very impressive indeed. Makes me feel stupid for buying a 4870 today but oh well, still good cards.

I wonder how hot these cards run and how loud the cooler is. Exciting times on the ATI front.

Hi there

Not for me to say but it would make sense to do so.
Good job we got plenty of stock.

would you be able to say what the temps and noise level are like on the mystery card at stock and oc too or would that be pushing the nda a little too far ?

i'm also sensinsing that this would make a nice prize for novatechs next competition. (crossings fingers, toes andalmost anythig else that i can to win it if it is a prize )

Hi there

Well lets just say cooling performance is impressive and noise levels also very good. Its certainly not dissapointing in that department either.

Wonder if a 4870 xspc water block would fit on these. Currently have 2 4870's and these might be worth an upgrade to, either that or wait for the X2 version of "unknown" card.

And XS have given you some more free press:

Nvidia cards are always a little bit better for a lot more money.

Also want to see some FPS benchmarks, vantage is all good, but I play games not sit there watching the vantage test scenes all day long

Hi there

I completely agree m8 but I am no gamer and dont have any of the latest titles plus when it comes to benching games I say leave the experts to do so, such as the review sites like Anandtech and Hexus who normally do a great job.
