    Yeah, the 480 is sexy, but 500 bones....

    Again, I dont think you can count on the ATI price drop this time around. Might happen, but a lot of things weighing against that. Maybe a drop of $10-15.

    EVGA will be distributing high end 4XX cards, good job your a EVGA fan as the other premium Nvidia partners have been left out in the cold as they don't have their manufacturing infrastructure for PCB's etc.

    EVGA is actually gaining size, I don't know where you came up with the absurd idea they were losing money. They keep expanding into new markets, a sign of a growing company, not a shrinking one. And it is absurd to think that PC gaming is over, because the next Xbox isn't expected until about 2015, and the PS4 isn't expected for at least a year, and to think that they'll be able to match or surpass the technology available in PC's is just illogical. Good try though.

    Roman man i agree.


    But consoles are the way forward unless pc,s srink in size use less power and cost less to manufacture then yes pc,s will be better off but if they keep getting bigger use more power and cost a bomb its over in 2-3 years.

    Xbox 2 = 4 years
    Ps4 = 2 years

    Nvidia are already making chips.

    ATI seem to loose interest ATM which says XBOX is far off.


    EVGA are slowly growning balls.

    EVGA are scammers.

    You are so full of crap it hurts to comprehend what you mean by anything you say.

    EVGA and XFX are the best card makers, they offer the best warranties, EVGA has the best customer service out of any card maker here in the US. EVGA not only makes GPU's but also high-end motherboards for extreme overclockers (several world record overclocks were achieved on EVGA boards) EVGA is also entering the PSU market with a new 1,200watt unit with a 1,500watt peak performance. EVGA has always provided high quality parts with excellent warranties and customer support, there is no "scam". Welcome to my ignore list, I've never felt the need to use it until now, I will no longer be able to see your messages so don't bother replying.

    Lol, despite being an ATI fanboy myself, the undeniable fact is that EVGA is one of the best companies out there when it comes to video card quality and high end motherboards. I won't speak about their customer service since I've never needed it, but their products, as a rule, are second to none.
