Plus, it performs well enough that you may be able to keep it in your system longer than you might expect from a middle of the road card.

If you would like to get all the juciest information on the R520 before it gets released later next month, you can head over to Anandtech's "pre-NDA Extravaganza" and read up on a lot of it.

It looks like Anandtech has spilled the beans on the upcoming release of ATI's next generation GPU series, the R5xx. Unfortunately, with the dates they have listed at least, things still aren't looking up quite yet.
