Actually, this article you refer to will only be proven true or false when trusted benchmark numbers come to light.Quote:

This thread is getting more and more ridiculous...:rolleyes:
i bet that it's going to break the 100page limit next week and that there's going to be no new real information until launch ;)
seriously the last new information was posted 6 pages ago? i want some final specs and new slides to speculate some more or some real test results :(
I realised that this thread is almost as epic as this Fermi-thread:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ighlight=fermi
Last two intresting and hyped graphic card releases made about 2000 replies and 200 000 views. I wonder is there some pattern to it ? :)
My optimistic guess is that 6970 will be about as fast as 570. If its faster, thats even better.
edit. i noticed Fermi-thread continued to other threads so Cayman hype isnt even half of what Fermi was.. :D
Yeah, but we are still 1 week away from launch and the thread is bigger already. So probably the Cayman thread is going to be a lot bigger than the fermi one.
your optimist guess ? the 570 have the same perf of the the GTX480(+-2%) .. so you think AMD will manage to release an HD6970 14months after released the HD5870 and who can only match the GTX480 ?Quote:

Anyway, posted from Hilbert Guru3D, he just have got his samples for the review.

it's confirm most site should get the card this next days
Fermi threads had more time to bake.Quote:

Then be happy that it will fall under "better". CJ already pointed out in early april that the next product from ATi will be aimed at a GTX480 + 512 shaders + higher clocks (and what a GTX460 would look like performance wise). He even knew about the GTX580's approach at the time... It WILL beat a GTX570 no doubt... :yepp:Quote:

AMD should reveal a wood mockup of hecatoncheires/HD7000 (or whatever) xD
Don’t forget the 2x DX-11 Tessellation performance vs Cypress 5870.Quote:

my un-educated guess is 5-10% above a 580 average, some it looses by a little and some i jumps way ahead. still not sure about what will happen in heavier tessellation though, or how much it will really matter in games.
If it was only that ( not sure tesselation perf will show in most games DX11, the higher intensive ones are Nvidia games as LP2 and HawX2 ) ... but yes ofc all the change made count, i don't think the 6970 will just match the 480..Quote:

same for 6950, between HD5870 and GTX570
In Tessellation 6970 will be very close to GTX580

PCB hole -> Fermi? Or just a sticker or something under the fan...
I thought it had a backplate so it's probably something else.
If AMD have surpassed Nvidia (unlikely), then all the partisan AMD supporters will be linking to Ungine benchmarks :)Quote:

well if tessellation is better on AMD side, then hopefully gaming is too.Quote:

First of all, it's a brand new arch from AMD for the first time in a long time (4870 + PCB tricks => 4890, double texturing and shaders, stick DX11 on it => 5870). It will come in the middle of the month, means 10.12 final drivers will not yet be ready. And AMD is really slow with drivers in general. So expect the performance to increase over time as they polish the drivers and sort the optimisations out.
Secondly, if it has a big chip, then, unlike GF100 which had Tesla as the first priority and Gaming as the second, pretty much all of them transistors will be working to get our games running as fast as possible. So I expect the performance to be quite good.
You can't possibly see the back of the cards cause they both face fan upwardsQuote:

So, my point its is HD6800 or HD6900 cards :rolleyes:
