AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[tajoh111]

I hope so...I'm only waiting for the 6970 because I'd like a very powerful futureish proof single GPU card...on paper it sounds like a side grade to the 5870 :S

All these high end cards will be future proof until Crysis 2(hopefully) comes out.

I can't wait for another game(even though, crysis wasn't such a good game), that doesn't compromise working on low end hardware and is even tough on fast hardware.

Not like metro 2033 either, because that game really doesn't raise the bar compared to anything that has come out.

Crysis is still one of the best looking games today;especially with outdoor environments and in game models. The game came out three years ago and games have yet to look better even though hardware is 3-4 times more powerful. Its kind of annoying that we need to use things like 3d and eyefinity to make use of our cards for most games. I just want something that looks fantastic on one screen and I don't mind if it runs 50fps and the best setting cannot be enabled on a 6970 or gtx 580 or antilles for that matter. These type of games don't appear often enough anymore and I want a game that is graphics wise, ahead of its time. Even better if it achieves such frame rates not from bad coating, but just crazy graphics.

Its kind of a tragedy that it is being made for consoles, but hopefully it won't be the consoles this generation and hopefully the next.

I hope Cayman is 2160 shaders and is fast as stink, because I would be nice if one of the company got 2 gpu performance out of 1 GPU this generation on the same node. NV not going to due it with respect to their cards(it might match a 5970) because they don't even have one out, so we can only count on AMD for this. Cayman is impossible to predict though.
