    Looking at it my moneys on that being the X2 as well, think im going to hold out and get the X2 this time around, as long as it doenst use 8 pin power connectors though, 700 Watt Seasonic PSU and it doenst have 8 pin connectors, only 4x 4 pin

    what a convenient launch date right on my first payday launchday pricing at around £250 do you reckon?

    might pull my full upgrade forwards now.

    I think he means the 295 beater will be the X2 - that's what I mean at least.

    This would be an awesome birthday present (25th, natch)

    But as I said before - if the release date is so close, why are they keeping details like specs and pricing close to their chest? Surely they'd want to advertise how great their card is so people bung in their preorders (note like video games, DVDs, films, etc)

    The 5870 is apparently priced at USD400. If we do a straight FX =~245GBP
    Plus VAT = £281

    I think I might wait till they come down a tad.

    I think they try to keep the specs and release information secret so that they can continue selling old stock.
