NVIDIA to Counter Radeon HD 6970 ''Cayman'' with GeForce GTX 580

[Sam_oslo]

Lets hope nVidia can drop something (whatever that can push performance up or prices down), at the same time as HD69xx. But this time it should be at the same time, it will be good for us frequent consumers of GPU.

But I'm afraid it won't happen, these guys seams to have come to an unwritten-agreement to wait 6 months to counter each other though. At least they did it in the whole of last year. It's debatable if they are avoiding to compete directly (for keeping the pieces up in both camp), or it's just an innocent glitch.
