IXBT made fail review IMO. No modern games... No GOOD drivers... 10.11? Not funny...
different resolution...
Nvidia are owned, 6970's £80+ cheaper than the 580, and can get 2x 6950's for the same price, and they'll smash it, not bad i say!!
fail ATI driver version Catalyst 10.11; NVIDIA version 263.09 / 260.99.Quote:

wow 6950 for $300!!!
this will be the awesome in a crossfire setup
price for performance king!
Even in the ixbt review there with "old" possibly borked-for-6970 drivers, it looks pretty competitive especially with pricing taken into account... I'm impressed. Can't wait to see better ones with proper driver.Quote:

Can't copy the stupid flash crap...
Basically, it's equal at low tessellation settings, but at high and extreme settings Fermi is way faster.

The bench with GTX 580 used a higher res.Quote:

check my screens!! ^^ new driver released before NDA... seems as if the 6970 eats the 580 in uni bench, and that bench isnt all that cpu hungry... But yeah 2x 6950s for the price of 1x 580 and will eat its performance, yeww AMD
92c. What.
Price to performance is pretty good it looks like it.
I think the other guy is OcUK is right though, I can see a price jumping up after Christmas similar to what happened on the 5870.
It does look slower than gtx 580 which is not a surprise. If priced around 380-400 with the lower model 300, it really doesn't force NV to lower their price though. Its still good value, like the gtx 570. I really like the 2gb so I think that could be the deal breaker. The gtx 580 can lower its price maybe 50 dollars, but they really don't need to if they maintain performance leadership.
With such massive quantities as Goober is showing, I am pretty sure they could have launched this card a month ago, if not earlier.
92c and fan speed @40%Quote:

Those are pretty low fan speeds for a reference cooler right? :confused:
The card is about as fast or faster than GTX570 at 2560x1600, which is nice.
10-20% faster than GTX570 at 2560x1600 in the most demanding games (Far Cry 2, Crysis, Metro, Heaven, AVP).
Really old drivers for all cards there... 261.04 nvidia, 10.11 still on ati/amd, wondering if the 10.12 really boosts the 6970 if so it's a monster.Quote:

Taken down, anybody saved? :(Quote:

different resolution before your before and after pics, and also different cpu.Quote:

So NDA lift is when? 12am EST or something else?
950 i7 clocked lower then the 4.4 phenom and still beats the 580.. besides that benchmark isnt even cpu hungry..Quote:
