GTX 580 isn't going to die, nvidia will drop the price without a doubt in a day or two if the 6970 is at $360 or $370. It'll be like the HD4800 vs GTX260/GTX280 scenario all over again pricing reaction from nvidia.Quote:

I have a fairly confident feeling it'll be $380 for the 6970 and probably like $300 for the 6950.
I guess we know why OCuk stockpiled a pyramid of 6970s then :DQuote:

Exactly so I'm waiting to see how nvidia responds if the 6900 series is priced that cheaply. Can't do consumers harm either way :)Quote:

Agreed. $400 doesn't sound unrealistic for 6970.
I'm still sticking with $299 for 6950 and $399 for 6970 to avoid disappointment.
price sounds way too low, and this is Fudzilla giving us AMD info so its probably fail
329/429 is my guess
6950 vs 6970 vs GTX 580: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/sho...php?t=18217817
This is still with the supplied default drivers that came in the box. Apparently there's some talk going about that a newer 8.851 driver offers a slight performance boost, but we'll see. Gibbo and other people were using 8.790.
ps. It includes overclocked and crossfire results too ;)
I hope they will be that cheap. Then we will see more ppl with rigs like this =))

Some other info from the link is interesting...
And this is on a launch day in UK (= quite expensive [by EU standards] by definition).Quote:
Price - Sub £250 for a 6950 and sub £300 for a 6970 make these cards very competively priced!
OcUK will put its stock live sometime after midnight tonight at which time you should check the following link as we have 1000+ in stock right now!!!!
So they might be actually available for sub 300 EUR...
@ Monstru: will we see your review at midnight? I am hoping to do all the necessary research before heading off to bed! :D
I'ma brigin' it back from the dead:Quote:

6970 in QuadFire will probably run over Crysis like a monster truck! :rofl:Quote:

Those results seem quite good. Looks like AMD have got another 4xxx series of cards on their hands. Cheap to produce, and trades blows with Nvidias top GPU, while being cooler, quieter and cheaper to run.Quote:

I take it the 570 and 580 will be dropping in price very soon.
I wasn't going to buy a card this year, but if these things are cheap, cheap to run, cool and quiet...
Yeah my thoughts exactly. Although one thing that does concern me, is that the difference between a 6950 and 6970 at stock in those heaven benchmarks, is about 3 fps :confused:
800 core vs 880, 1250 mem vs 1375, 1408 SP's vs 1536 and only 3 fps difference?? Points to drivers IMO...
