I just called a large local computer store chain in the area to ask when they will have stock of the 6800 series and this is the reply I got: "Herpity herp herp derp... derp, maybe a month or two? We dunno, lol."
Absolutely useless, not one store can confirm when they will have stock even though the release is supposedly this Friday.
Edit, nevermind, found some comparison:

Taking into consideration 1080 vs 1200 vertical pixels and CPU, looks to be right between 5850 and 5870.

scored higher with my gtx 470 and the pc in sign... but i guess that the 68xx card will consume a lot less power, not that i care about that...
E6600"L630A446"? @3600@1.?v cooled by Tunic Tower sitting on Abit AB9 Quad GT played on ASUS 8800GTX opperated by a lazy slacker!
so as expected; 6850 @ gtx 460 level and 6870 between 5850 and 5870; pretty impressive considering the tiny die size and if prized at 200 / 250$ they'll give the 460 a run for its money!

only 2 way crossfire? not good.
I don't see why you need to use 4 cards
After all, these are mid-range cards, not even high end. It's a shame they had to call it the 68xx series, and now I can totally see this causing confusion with all the tech illiterates (not saying you are, btw). I suppose Cayman will have 4 way for obvious reasons. Juniper did as well, but, I can't really see this being of any use anyway unless for the sole purpose of benching and/or record breaking, but then, Cayman would suite that area much better?
Meh, I don't really think it's that big of a deal.
