Ok, so before this goes totally out of hand, let me say this, and this will be my final say on the matter, until the NDA is lifted: AMD made certain decisions concerning this card. I took a hard look out there, to see what's being leaked, and it seems there are still some stuff that are totally made up - tbh, it smells like a FUD campaign to me, if I take into consideration certain emails that are flying around lately. Certainly there are some stuff out there that are true, and you will know which is which when the NDA lifts soonish. The journalists that were in Tunis certainly know, and are probably laughing at some of those at this minute.

meh, most important thing is will that R600 be the so called G80 killer that it was made out to be? Probably not.

Exactly. It's like a tortise and the hare. Maybe they can trick the hare into losing the race somehow....I doubt it hehe.

It's certainly no G80 killer based on those benchmarks and it would need 'miracle' driver optimization to become one.
