Notice how silent the Nvidia PR is, they know what is coming to them.
or else they be shouting how good the 580 is.
Nvidia isnt known for silence.
if they knew they would be screwed once the 6900s are out, they would be wise to market the crap out their cards to get as many out the door as possible before its launch.

i think the issue is that nvidia dosnt really have many profitable cards between 250$ to 500$, and will have to wait for the 570 to fill in the gap, but even that will still probably leave large holes. if the 570 goes for 375-400$, then a 6970 for 450$ would be good enough to scare people off nvidia.

i think the only real solution in the end is for a 450$ 580, with a 6870 near it aswell (pending performance)

a 570 for 350$, 6950 right around the same
and 460s and 6800s for sub 250$

but then between 250$ and 350$, you will have like no choices from either brand.

we might see in spring time a 6930 and 560 (full 104) to do OK in that price gap, but thinking that far out is too risky, but its still a gap to be filled
