AMD Radeon HD 6870 and HD 6850 confirmed to be launched on 22.10.2010

Would it be a good idea to sell my non-reference 5870 and get a new 6870?

I'm not sure if it would be worth it anyways, because the 5870 is obviously faster, and all the money I get from selling the 5870 would all go towards the new 6870.

i dont think anyone can answer that until we get some proper benchmarks done.
i am sure that there will be 6870 vs 5870 vs 5850 vs 460 benchmarks in just a few days.

if you want MAA yes, but performance should be a bit lower sometimes, and a bit upper sometimes.

I would say buy a cayman, or keep your 5870

Dark-Energy: I agree with ripken204....

The 5870 is a very nice card, I'm still stuck with a 4870 so if the price is right I'll definetly be getting a 6850/70 (depending on price).

IMHO, if I already had a 58xx series card though, I'd wait a while and see how things shake out. The 69xx series should be out in November, if you can wait another month it may be worth your while to hold out and see where prices settle....
