^^^ The HD 4870 is a lot faster than the 8800GT!?

not really as big a leap as you think it is

Congrats, I have two myself...but haven't used em yet :|...none of my other stuff has come besides my cpu.

I ordered my comp parts last SATURDAY from Newegg, and they've shipped from NJ, and I live in RI (not that far)...and they get here Monday :| 9 freaking days for 3 day shipping. :|

I beg to differ...

i dont really think its that big a leap
if you have a 8800 already you wouldn't upgrade
i consider a big leap when you go from running a game from medium to max settings

almost double the FPS is not a big leap...? I don't know that much about this stuff, but it seems to me that you're fighting a losing battle here...

I am so begging for one of these beasts. Seriously cannot wait to see it's power, amazing price, amazing performance and I knew ATi had something up their sleeve..

Lol, ya dude, it's a HUGE leap. 8800s are being pushed down to near mid range ^^

To be honest I didn't think that many would make the transition, but I've seen loads of reviews from upgrades from 8800s to 4870s. And it is a huge leap .. even with people with 2 8800s, or so I've heard.
