The dual fermi card looks read bad, a heavily underclocked dual 470.
sunu:
We don't even know yet if it will be a dual 470 or other fermi iteration like for example GF104.

Posted on Seti and got this reply...
Depends whether you are interested in instantaneous results, or whether you are planning for the long term.
A 295 is mature technology, perhaps even obsolescent. It will have peaked already - there won't be much new development for it, and in due course there will be new developments which it can't keep up with.
A 470 is new technology, and won't be giving of its best yet. But it should be the focus of development effort for longer into the future, and you will be able to gain from those efforts.
Now or later? Dead-end or progress? Your choice.
He has a point, so Im going for a fermi :-)
