frankly i dont care about the naming of the card, i care about price and performance....and i get why there doing it, their just moving it up a number basically so they can charge more for the whole series.

people need to stop complaining about the naming, its all Ive heard in these threads. waaaaah

the 6870 looks sexy and for $250 its an awesome deal with the improved efficiency and smaller die. just wait for cayman XT its gonna be a sweet card which will be much deserved of the 9 series naming.
