Consider the 6870 to be the 6770 and the 6970 to be the 6870

The 6770 (6870 rebrand) is 90% of the 5870, brilliant. Bigger price = bummer.
But still 200 euros is what the 5850 costs and this should be a little faster
dont worry, i was already corrected for my miss-thinking

and i do agree that the names should have all been shifted down one level, and just drop the lowest level the currently have and make that a little more powerful. honeslty, who would care that a 62x0 is 2x stronger than 52x0 for a little higher cost
