I was expecting 6970 to be on par with 580, at worst. The leaks so far indicating that 6970 is not that high on performance. If those leaks are true, then the only card left for AMD to play is to win the performance/dollar battle like they did with 4000 series.
let the world know, now we know why AMD delayed there 69xx series launch, to have the same vapor chamber then nv has :rofl::rofl::rofl:Quote:

they have done that for the 3000 and 4000 series and would have done that for the 5000 series also if there was some competitions (NOT) and will do the same thing for 6000 series and 7000 series.Quote:

That is inclusive 25% VAT also, so to translate it to a price in US$ without VATQuote:

On the Swedish site in the link, cheapest cards:
Nvidia GTX 570 3.500 skr.
AMD HD 6970 4.095 skr
Nvidia GTX 580 4.700 skr
So the 6970 is exactly in the middle, price wise, on this site.
5% as far to 580gtx is not high on performance?Quote:

so the 580 gtx sxxk axs is that what you say?
since if the 6970 is around it and beats it, it is :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty performance?
Gee, people need to examine their brains a lot more, check for facts and stop the distortions and the brainwash Nvidia is doing.
The 6900 series is priced here lower than the 5000 serie from nvidia, amd wins the price/performance game, crossfireX scales awesome and Nvidia is in for a big hurt again due to the cards from Nvidia is no wehre to buy.
2x6950 and the upcoming 6990 will be the card to get for people wanting a supercard best of the world, king of the hill fastest in the Universe is AMD 6990 and we have a winner!
/Bruce Lee approved and he beat Chuck Norris every time.
True to that. But with 4000 series, ATI/AMD did massive blow to nv.Quote:

First site in Aus to list the cards...
6970:
http://www.netplus.com.au/products-d...bcat=&code=VD5
$629 Aus/$619 US
6950:
http://www.netplus.com.au/products-d...bcat=&code=VD5
$499 Aus/$491 US
580GTX
inno/palit/galaxy
http://www.netplus.com.au/products-d...d&product=1557
$679
Gigabyte:
http://www.netplus.com.au/products-d...d&product=1589
$719
Yeah, thats right, those of us in Aus get shafted big time for prices :shakes:
Our dollar is almost at parity, yet we still pay 100-200$ more for the 580GTX :mad:

Well that is not as much as what we have here ( Middle-east ) 300$ for a 5770 and 1000$ for a 480GTX :rofl:Quote:

early drivers, one month old and we will get a more optimized driver while not much difference in performance it will add more solid numbers all around.Quote:

its in the ballpark where it should/might be on 40nm.
expecations are hard for some, many expect a difference but seldom notice one in practice.
cheaper.
I either get 2x6950 or wait for 6990.
running 5760x1080 has its drawbacks ;)
IMHO GTX 580 is still a better buy if your not dirty poor and compromising to save few bucks.
Game Compatibility
Nvidia has generally better (with all the cash they dumb in game companies TWIMTBP titles ect) yes such company bias is bad but it is what it is and we have to live with it, it can be a bonus if your on such camp nvidia does put more effort in getting certain game features working, you don't see AMD putting such efforts.
Sponsored Games
As such sponsored games by nvidia eg. Lost Planet 2, Hawx 2 ect. perform substantially better on geforce line. (it might be a bit to early to make this claim as we don't have enough direct 580/480 comparisons only 5870/6970 but looking at LP2 a stock 480 is substantially faster)
Single GPU Preference
Taking above into account Single GPU performance wise GTX 580 is a fastest you can get. (A bit premature i know but my claim seem logical)
Extras
PhysX (hopefully it will die and get replaced by something better but for now it is free Candy if you have Geforce no such perk from AMD side)
CUDA (not really relevant to games but those who use programs who support it, know its a nice bonus to have)
3D gaming (currently the only solid platform from nvidia, AMD response is pathetic with so little effort put into it)
Mutual Abilitys
Multi Display gaming (Need SLI for 3 monitor gaming, this one AMD is one step ahead sorta still need crossfire for acceptable FPS especially with more then 3 monitors)
Both can do SLI/CF (nothing to see here)

my crossfire 6850 setup runs faster than a 580gtx and is a lot cheaper.Quote:
