AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[Jowy Atreides]

so without starting a flamewar...

...is this going to be the Dogs bollox?

Hell yes.

No one can speculate the GTX 580 performance with any degree of validity or truth but Cayman will be off the wall.
Whether the 580 will be even faster than Cayman is unknown but fast is fast in subjective terms.

I'll put it this way; all these crappy fud sites are holding on to some fake 36.6 fps benchmark from 2 months ago like it has value.

What is true however is that the 6870 with 145W power draw can come close to the previous gen. Cayman will have 300W, 2G of vram, a new 4 shader system and a lot more of them.

It's more than just "30%" faster than the 6870 as fud sites say.
