Lol you guys fed a 50 page thread with conclusions based solely on misinformation ATi themselves might be leaking.

I will not make any conclusion except I don't like the way they named their series. We were all kind of used to *870 being higher mainstream
thing to get. Reintroducing Pro/XT/whatever schemes is not necessary nor welcome imho.

So, based on these rumors we have atm, if you skipped 5870, but you want it's successor, that would be 6890?
Pardon me, I suppose this was answered many times, but I don't have the time nor will to go through 50 pages of speculations

EDIT: There I go, answered
