Definitely. I don't care if it's 5% faster or slower than GTX 580.Quote:

If it's better priced, etc... I'd buy it instead of a GTX 580. If it's not, I'll get a GTX 580 - that simple :D
Yes indeed. I was looking at buying the GTX 470 or 6870 last month or two, 20% above that level of performance for hopefully <£250 would be nice :yepp:Quote:

Who knows. If it is, AA/AF performance looks promising. But of course that depends on if you believe it is real and AMD slides reflect reality.Quote:

In regards to these new benchmarks:
Yeah, it's Charlie, but you'd think if anyone would know something about an ATI part a few days before launch, it would be him.Quote:

Power Throttling engaging, with the current driver giving no control over it?Quote:

I think where the card might show real promise in directx 11 games and more heavily tesselated games. For directx 9 games, I don't see why it should have any real prowess over a 5870 considering it has less shaders. Although if the 15% faster slide is true, it likely slower because marketing slides are always inflated. I think we can be certain if the quantities of the 6970 are good at launch, the extra development time was for drivers.

If those are gouged prices, them being sold at $300/$400 would be killerQuote:

A good 33% faster it looks like than the 5870
How useful of a feature can any power throttling implementation be if in the end its gimping performance of a high end card to any degree.
I can understand a driver issue but not something related power throttling, should be labeled performance throttling if it creates such an issue on a desktop gpu.
