I just called a large local computer store chain in the area to ask when they will have stock of the 6800 series and this is the reply I got: "Herpity herp herp derp... derp, maybe a month or two? We dunno, lol."
Absolutely useless, not one store can confirm when they will have stock even though the release is supposedly this Friday.
Edit, nevermind, found some comparison:Quote:

Taking into consideration 1080 vs 1200 vertical pixels and CPU, looks to be right between 5850 and 5870.
^^
not every game.. sometimes needs more sometimes needs less
I just scored higher then this with my 5870 :/Quote:

so as expected; 6850 @ gtx 460 level and 6870 between 5850 and 5870; pretty impressive considering the tiny die size and if prized at 200 / 250$ they'll give the 460 a run for its money!
-_-, where is Improved Tessellation ?Quote:

I don't see why you need to use 4 cards
After all, these are mid-range cards, not even high end. It's a shame they had to call it the 68xx series, and now I can totally see this causing confusion with all the tech illiterates (not saying you are, btw). I suppose Cayman will have 4 way for obvious reasons. Juniper did as well, but, I can't really see this being of any use anyway unless for the sole purpose of benching and/or record breaking, but then, Cayman would suite that area much better?
Meh, I don't really think it's that big of a deal.
Why?
Wait for 6950/70 if you want more power than 6870 x-fire....
Edit: Or non reference pcb...
GTX 460 1gb, 800/4000, i'm not to impressed by 6870...Quote:

That's actually quite a noticeable missing feature actually. The 5870, 4870 and 3870 all had 3 or 4 way crossfire. Heck even the 5770 had it. For the price, this is a feature they should not have skipped on.Quote:

6850 will be my pick, should be good upgrade from 8800 GT :p:
Phenom x4 and 6850 should serve me some time :)
No info yet. If it is just an up-clocked and modified 5830 though, it might not have as much slack as a completely new architecture would.Quote:

No it is not an up-clocked and modified 5830. It's far smaller than a 5830Quote:

I said IF. But I'm sure you realize that 5830 has the same size as the rest of the Cypress line, just with some shaders disabled.Quote:
