AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

That slide makes me want to buy a gtx 580. I don't think the disclaimer about performance would be their if this chart didn't at least somewhat show performance differences between cards.

Not only that the performance between everything released so far has a pretty accurate distance between them. E.g the difference between a 5770, 5750, a 6870 a 6850, and a 5870, 5850 are all about 14 % according to tech report and the distance in games between a 5870 and a 5970 is similar to the difference between a 5870 and a 5770.

With a poor extrapolation from that chart, I would imagine the 6950 10-12% faster than a 5870 and a 6970 12-15% faster than a a 6950. Pretty believable numbers although somewhat disappointing.

I think this looks alot more reliable than the few leaks which have proven not very accurate so far and/or much harder to judge for accuracy.

You and me are thinking the same way hurdurr. 150/117 = 1.28% performance difference between the 5870 and 5970. This is about 5-10% slower that a gtx 580, I think this is he most realistic scenario for the 6970, because I don't see AMD going mammoth size with the 6970 and they are still on the same node.
