using fudzilla as a source = fail ... why dont we wait till the 22nd ... the secrets have been kept nicely since the 6800 series .. why cant it be possible that amd just want to surprise us on the 22nd and say surprise ... our new baby is here ready to be shipped ...
Despite the screenshot looks veeeeery fake, starting at Catalyst 10.10 a mysterious key appeared at video driver key: EQAA which can mean Enhanced Quality Anti-Aliasing or something like that.Quote:

Sadly i don't arrive to believe FUD anymore... They have write the same things about the 6870 for weeks, speaking about problem of 40nm TSMC, report of the launch, delay then, don't expect see them before november, december ..lol
.. specially, other site report the invert yet taking their source on AIB's ....
On LP2, Hawk2 benchmark.... 100% confirmedQuote:

The important question is: Can a GTX580 beat a 5970?Quote:

Or will be EOL at this time (using the last in stocks for RMA )...Quote:

i just came across this rumor... AMD Set to Introduce Radeon HD 7000 Southern Islands in Q2 2011
i know that it has nothing to do with cayman but i didn't think it deserves its own thread since it comes from some not so trust worthy sourcesQuote:
This latest development in the graphics card saga comes from a pretty shady website named, adequately enough, RumorPedia.net, that claims one source “close to AMD” told them Souther Islands GPU family will be released sometime in early 2011.
While a 28nm pipe cleaner might be possible in Q2, I don't think there's any doubt that SI will have to wait for at least H2 2011.
7000 series Q2 ???? how possible is that??? .. LOLL

AMD is well known as a budget oriented company, playing underdog that goes with a loss every quarter, how can they even compete in the same leque as Nvidia or Intel at all?
They cant, so they do the marketing BS, we do small chips with great watt/performance, meaning smaller chips more cash due to them are cheaper to produce but dont deliver enough performance for a xtremesystem forum reader as we buy the biggest bad ass cards and if they aint bad enough we spank them, up with whips, chains and overvoltage and a cousin we would sell for it to go a inch faster.

I still can't say if he(flopper) really believes in Wonderland or he is speaking with tongue in cheek.I kinda think it's the former.
It's not that AMD can't 'win' as you put it, it's that they've chosen a different route. This has brought commercial success in the last couple of years, and shook Nvidias strangle hold since the 8800 cards.Quote:

As for your last point, well that is purely flame bait/trolling. Extremsysytems could be said to be more about maxing different bits of kit, rather than sticking with the 'best'. it's all subjective what this site is about, although recently it's been about fanboy this vs that, which is being cracked down on.
