Graphics Cards

HD3870X2, R680 to be released in January

AMD will be releasing the contender to "king of the hill" of the graphics card market in late January, though no official release date has been issued yet.
AMD has the hardware ready but it still needs to have the CrossfireX driver ready in time or it risks being trounced by reviewers, with good reason. Nvidia will be answering with it's D8E dual G92 card, around the same time, but it seems to be late in the development cycle.
AMD needs to pull this one off fast, if it wants to claim victory, even for a short while.
I'm confident it will all boil down to who has the better quad SLI/Crossfire and not the better hardware.
Nvidia has the lead in hardware specs and experience in this kind of driver work, so it should come out on top when the dust settles.
