Lots of reviews out today, all of which say this card is as big of a game-changer as the Radeon 9700 was back in the day. Check it out:

Read the Pc perspective and stopped halfway through. Amazing bias, IMO.

Sweet, I'll get it when my newish nVidia card dies (which shouldn't be for quite a while).

Meh.
I'm going to wait and see what the new NVidia cards are like, might only be next year but then I just bought my GTX 260 and it's absolutely fine for current games.
Oh and it still can't really beat Stalker: Clear Sky. :sweatdrop:
