This thread will be full of win in next couple of days!! Complaints about the drivers being old would take a lead role in this one :P:

I agree, why starting thread with "in progress", instead of waiting for some real reviews.Quote:

EDIT
Plus the links this thread started with were already posted in "AMD Cayman info (or rumor)" thread,
probably for good reason.
I'm posting here summary info/benches/reviews... so ppl don't need search through 100000 pages...Quote:

That's min fps though... so it's weird, but the min fps increase of 44% is pretty significantQuote:

More important than max.:yepp:
Let's call the right way. You posting rumors from the rumor thread. I doubt right now anybody cares about the rumors and users benchmark should come from members at this forum.Quote:

Right now this thread is about as good as if somebody started a new thread about reviews with this:

The cards are out on Newegg. 370$ price tag is just Pure WIN!!
Wow cards out before reviews :ROTF:
$370 for 6970
$300 for 6950
Awesome. Those 6950's look like a potential 5850 repeat scenario
Now, I'll be getting a 6970 for the new year.
This industry sucks. Too many brainwashed consumers and fanboys all over the place. What happened to the 4800 series generation pricing? You know, $300 for a new 4870 and $200 for the 4850. Looks like the 6970 is going to be just under $400 and almost the same as the 5870 release pricing. This sucks. Too much for hardware that changes faster than the average punk gamer changes his underwear. I know, it's less than the 580 GTX, but Nvida likes to rip off the "intelligent" who buy this stuff.
I'm sure a ton of zombies will claim that this is great pricing. Nvida has been ripping off the foolish for years and now AMD decided to join them. We need some more competition. This crap is way overpriced and yes I can afford to buy all of them if I wanted. I want lower prices. Luckily, as the global economy falls on it's face over the next few years and millions join the ranks of unemployed, no one will be buying this crap unless they can convert it to food or firewood. Bye...bye Nvidia and Amd. I guess you can focus on military applications.
The 6800 series fill that 4800 role nicely. You can get very good performance at $180-240.
So, now that we have the full 6 series released, can somebody make a list of AMD cards in ascending order according to performance?
For reference, consider this:
4850 -> 4870 -> 5770 -> 4890 -> 5850 -> 5870.
How does the HD 58xx series perform in comparison with the HD 68xx and 69xx? (Disregard dual-card products like the 5970).
I seriously got lost ever since they released the HD68xx series.
