AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

If that's true.... well GTX580 will only have a couple of weeks as the tessellation king (and single gpu king)... fail king

Really funny, for sure ...

Really hoping it will at least perform equal to the GTX580 (a loss of 5, maybe 10% aint that bad, beating it would be great). Not because I wouldn't want a nVidia card, but because I hate dual card setups (using Eyefinity at the moment), 2 GTX580s cost a 1000 euros & will make a pc consume about 650 Watts during gaming on the graphics side alone (2x 250 Watt & 3x 50 Watt for the monitors).

I'd rather have 5 to 10% less performance (and a cheaper card) if I can avoid the required SLI for nVidia's solution and only use about 400 Watts at the graphic section.

This information had nothing to do with dual gpu cards, only single gpu cards, 6970 is a single gpu card .....
