As you can see, nVidia came late in the game, but once again, came you with guns blaring. The new series blows ATI out of the ****ing water and I know I'm not the only one that can't bloody wait for the benchmarks...

The price isn't too high this time either, as it has been in the past, another major step up for nVidia... Now let's hope they get their driver issues all sorted for once >_>
