A 380gtx or 5850 crossfire? Decisions, Decisions. Cmon' Nvidia...lets see some info so I can sleep at night. I'd hate to jump ship, but my mobo is crossfire only and a pair of 5850's look mighty tempting. Better hurry up! I'm getting restless looking at them sweet ATI CF benchies.

Back in 2001 we had 3840x2400.

"As of January 2007 none of the WQUXGA monitors (IBM, ViewSonic, Iiyama, ADTX) are in production anymore. The highest-resolution color displays on sale are WQXGA. However, Eyevis produce a 56" LCD named EYELCD 56 QUAD HD which can deliver 3840x2160"

Seems even IBM T221 22" price reduction from $18,000 to $8,000 didn't help sales of these extraordinary 9MP displays.

If you have budget, Brandon can you try 5870X2 on one of these bad boys??

» I urge everybody to have a walk down memory lane...
Far Cry 2 - 48fps @ 2560x1600 4xAA using DX10 ultra high
AND THATS JUST A SINGLE 5870 .. imagine triple CF!

Rising trend in max resolution/AA used by firingsquad over the years:
Before Radeon 9xxx - reviews rarely use AA.
9800 - 1600x1200 4AA
X800 - 1600x1200 4AA
A1900 - 2048x1536 4AA
...
4870 - 2560x1600 4AA
4870x2 - 2560x1600 24AA
I think we're running out of resolutions ;)

The price will drop in 2-3 months by at least $50 is my guess. We'll see what nvidia has to offer and if it's better I'm sure ATI left plenty of room in the pricing. Right now it seems more like the cards aren't a replacement to the 4000 series but rather a faster line. Over the next few months variants of the 5000 series will replace the whole lineup.

Love the reviews looks like alot of specs doubled from my 1gb 4870 and was excited about picking one of these up this week. But their sold out everywhere till next week. May wait a while now until some of the games I want come out and drivers mature. I'm impressed by this card certainly will pick one up very soon.
