[kuroikenshi]

because of the lack of professionalism displayed whilst posting I'd say, as well as too many people turning forum discussion into personal attacks. I do not think this was related to trolling or thread bashing, but more so the way messages were being conveyed.

If Cayman is +/- 5% of gtx580 speeds than both cards will INSTA drop to 350$ msrp.

What?

The price of the 6870 is 240. A card that is fast as the gtx 580 would have to be about 40-45% faster than a 6870, that would be a first in the history where AMD charged a completely linear amount for the higher end card.

Look at the pricing between the 5870 and 5850, 15% difference, $120($259 vs $379) dollar difference.

Considering cayman xt is rumored to have 2gb of new 1.6ghz dddr5 and the chip is larger than cypress, I don't see how AMD is going to charge 350, unless your taking about cayman pro, which I suspect isn't as fast as the gtx 580.

Heck barts xt value would be crappy when compared to cayman if your 350 dollar scenario is true. In otherwords if Cayman xt is as fast as a 5970 at half the price(5970 are just on clearance right now(and probably priced drop to compete with the gtx 580, hence the one brand available and the card limit, but its price was 600-700 dollars for the most part), it going to be a heluva bargain. Compare your scenario to Barts xt which is basically 5% faster than a 5850 and only 20 dollars cheaper.

AMD has no reason to price it so cheap, especially if they really do give it 2gb of ram.

$560 and up? Too high for me. Hopefully it's just a temporary price spike which tends to happen. On the plus side, they're actually available.

edit button - I'm an idiot there's a promo code for every one, 10% off makes it $509, tempting. Must resist for a couple more weeks.

Damn, Golden Tiger is going to be so sad.....

On a side note, what is possessing people to purchase cards when another release is 1.5 weeks away. The worst case scenario is that your wait will result in the same price, best case scenario a significant price drop.

Yeah, I went for just one at this price... $517 shipped arriving wednesday. I'm holding out hope they'll drop the price once that code expires, and give me a price adjust... pretty weak of them to price-spike due to the code I gotta say though.

96redformula, it's no worse than I was expecting worst-case for a single card anyway... I originally planned on up to $550 for one, so while it's disappointing it's this high it's only that.

Well since you put it that way, it is a steal. A dollar per model number is the best performance ratio to date.

[kuroikenshi]

ok, it was catalyst, I've gone back down to 10.5 and everything is sweet, something was funky with 10.8 and 10.9

so I have clocked the core to 900 for the time being
and memory to 1150... I'll post soon

[highoctane]

Its funny to see them in stock at newegg after a few where heckling big about a paper launch early on and all the other doom and gloom it'll never happen attitude.

They all have the 10% off offer from newegg as well so price is about inline as long as the discount is around.

I just have to give you a hard time since you stepped up to high end from semi-high end .

Why bother doing the coupon code, the price with the coupon code is between $504-531.

This is typical newegg scalping. On the other hand something tells me, that the quantities are better than charlie suggested.

Hehe. I know.

Mwave has it for $489 shipped with their Mclub (free) thing... $499.99 normally + $4 shipping. So, seems possible newegg will drop/price adjust later... that's my hope and I'm sticking to it at least !

Yep. There may be limited quantities (remains to be seen) but seeing it available right on launch day means no paper launch.

This is typical newegg scalping.

Basically. Don't get me wrong I like Newegg, but they like to jack up the prices at times, buyer beware as usual.

Me thinks more like walking a grade than a step from that point.

Nothing more fun then seeing a ups or fedx box waiting at the door with some fancy new part to play with inside, too bad it's not me getting new parts.
