| It's worthless because it cannot do PhysX |

| it actually has a GTS 250 chip under the hood, dedicated for PhysX, and ATI will be including a special driver from now on which prevents NVIDIA from disabling PhysX GPU if a none-NVIDIA primary GPU is detected. It's one of the 10.3 Catalyst driver features which is not getting much publicity.

| Catalyst sucks because Nvidia's drivers are much better. I'm sure that Nvidia will blow away this card with the GTX680 which will be much cheaper and launched very soon. |

| I think also they have something up their sleeve; they are supposed to announce something today. Maybe they'll announce they skip releasing retail hardware based on Fermi hardware and go straight with Fermi˛
