GPU
Lol. WOW ITS A NEW GPU?
That means nothing and is a pretty crap argument. Just cause it has come out after a 295 doesn't mean that it will beat or even be aimed at beating a dual GPU card.
Fact of the matter is that the 5870 comes dam close to beating a 295... so why don't you buy two if you want over the performance? Given that 5870 is what £300 while 295s are 340+.
This isn't even accounting for driver updates, which are obviously in their infancy for the new series. Lower your expectations, nothing scales up exactly 100% within that short space of time.
If you had any concept of moores law you'd know that it is a good few months before that becomes reality in an ideal world. The "new" technology means NOTHING at the moment. DX11 isn't optimising old Dx10 titles, it's still using the same standard in modern games, so why would you say its a new tech? Sure the shader count has increased... but the clock speeds have stayed the same, and memory speed increased slightly over the 4870/90. The only real technology in the physical chip design is the nm process, all that is going to do is make it more power/heat efficient while allowing increases in speed (which we haven't seen on a mhz level yet, but maybe on the 5890).
