We already knew about the renaming, as is clear by your reference to the 6970 and in the context of the thread up to that point.

Enjoy.

This was August, nothing was confirmed about the renaming.




I was referring to this chart obviously. Hell I quoted it, which suggest Cayman as a 5870 series. Not bart xt or this new 5870, as your trying to make it out to be and completely misconstrue.

"Is that referring to performance or pricing. Because it is pricing which is likely, its looks like everything getting priced to what I suspected it would. A 6770 being priced like a 5830... ouch. I think the 6650 and 6670 have to stay at the pricing they are at because they still have to keep some cards under 100 dollars. Man though, if the 6970 gets priced at 699 or 799. The 6950 is priced like a 5970 and those cards are already 700 dollars. Man thats going to suck for the consumer. Makes me scared how pricey the black editions or limited editions will get. Want to replace the 4870x2 but man its going to be pricey.

If it is in regards to performance which is less likely, I think its pretty underwhelming to see the 6850 slower than a 5870.

It wouldn't surprise both are true and performance is as the chart shows as well as pricing is going up for almost the entire line up."

I said that chart referred to pricing, so bart xt for example or the original 6770 would be priced at 5830 levels and 5830 levels is 239, some rumors are suggesting this type of pricing and these are on the lower sides of real estimates? What really damn you in this argument is that chart, if this is your only evidence is the cayman name is right where the 6870 is.

Your honestly not making a case for yourself here. I wasn't stating anything as facts and I was interpreting a chart which you can tell by the tone of what I was writing.
