[Sir Krustin]

While hardware SM4.0 support is one of the hallmarks of this card, there is NO reason to wait if you're in the market for an upgrade. 128 streaming processors (read: shader units) running at 575mhz (1800mhz data rate for the GDDR3 memory, of which there is 768MB), 384 bit data width - frame buffer bandwidth is VERY high, 86.4 GB/sec, 681 million transistors, *and* the ability to SLI on PC-express systems makes this a mind-blowing addition to any system.

Oblivion is the only game to make this card drop below 30 fps (21 to be precise) with settings maxed - the Radeon X1950XTX can only manage 14 under the same conditions.
