so its really fake then?

good point... but as long as cayman outperforms gf104 they own the highend with a dual cayman card, so... they dont necessarily have to kick 4ss to feel confident about the 6000 series... hmmm

Saaya, if the new chips are not really fast enough over the current line ups, so like you've previously suggested, then why they have to bother R&D & creating this whole new family ? DX 11 strengthening can wait until 28 nm arrives, can't they ? We know in current games, Evergreen is more than good enough on average.

Evergreen while long in the tooth is holding the fort just fine, and since Evergreen fastest chip is actually smaller than nVidia's current best perf/watt/die size area performer, GF 104, should the supply constraint abated, ATi could easily engage a price war for market share expansion, if needed.

These new chips IMHO have to be considerably faster while adding efficiency in the process, i know, that's quite a feat should ATi successfully pull it all the way out, but i think they have the capability & room to be so. Then, a new generation tagline would be well deserved & justified.

Regards.
