seems its a bit longer than 580 but not that much i bet you can cut some of it parts to fit in your case ...
Those pins on the PCB are probably used to control voltage and/or tesselation ... awesome!
:D
Maybe AMD shouldn't publish the specs even after the launch so we can keep guessing what's inside Cayman forever! :rofl:
pic doesnt work
think its fake, the ATI logo is a dead giveaway..
If AMD can barely beat a 480 with single core after they had one entire year to engineer it then I stand extremely dissapointed.
Still as I live in Brazil and these cards are no less than 3x more expensive than msrp I will still hold on to my system till bulldozer is out and by then I will probably be looking at 28nm graphics cards.
example: gtx 480 online price at your typical brazilian etailer:

BRL 1999.00 = USD 1142.00
So more than $1.1k for a 480. What a sad country this is, third world is a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:.
If rumors are true and I had to chose then Id definately go for the faster 580.
and all the guys in the EU complain about pricing... next time is see them complaining I will point them here haha. Thats outrageous, you def need to get someone to ship you parts from the states, you would save thousands on a new rig that way.
however I am willing to bet that the 6970 is faster then a 570, or at least it better be...
Well buy you one :p
we got our own version of ebay here called mercadolivre but its just not so reliable and prices are still messed up anyway
BRL 1899 for a Zotak gtx580 = USD 1085

...how 'bout... Barts in fact has all the roumored 1280SP but they decided not to use all as 1120 was enough to beat GTX460 and lower performance than 5870 so they could sell out the remaining stock and once GTX560 comes out we'll have a 6890 and Cayman has all the 1920 but.... apply the same theory as above with 5970 and GTX590 (690, whatever).

nah they stacked 2 cayman chips on each other and drivers disable this, 6990 will be a plastic card with a code printed on it to enable this core and it comes together with a ferrari sticker and a free 50% fan speed boost to make it sound like the new 2011 F1 Car
Yeah Argentina and Brazil have some ridiculous import taxes on finished goods
It's why Foxconn and otehrs open plants there... to finish the manufacturing there, and avoid the tax
kinda is
movies open on friday, and thrusday if they want that extra day for huge box office deals. its rare but some open wed if they are super awesome (some harry potters did that)
and computer hardware is usually out on tues if i recall correctly, not sure why.
so tron is extra early, and the 6900s are a day late
