    You remind me of a SKYMTL post, at that time I had laughed thinking nobody would actually say such a thing, but here you are, saying the exact same thing.
    No you don't quite understand, i'm saying that AMD doesn't have to worry because worldwide sales of the 580 aren't apparently an issue. America isn't the only place you look at to see how the market works as a whole.

    Some places in Europe and Asia don't have any stock, some do but they're apparently not in high quantities. Now, if demand were that high to keep cards out of stock, why wouldn't those other places with limited quantity sell out?

    Now most places in America have cards, so the issue is this. If America's got that supply and supply is high enough for so many types of cards, why don't other countries have cards, esp. if demand is so high that they're selling out there and not in America? On the other hand, if supply isn't high, then these cards should be closer to selling out across the board.

    So the overall issue is that there's no gain for AMD to reveal their hand right now. You reveal your hand, and Nvidia drops their prices, spurring sales of cards that other people would not buy. Or, you reveal your hand, and the 580 looks like an even better buy and people start buying the cards.

    AMD gains nothing from either of those choices.

    Sorry if some 580 fans can't afford their new toys and need AMD to drop prices

    The first line saying that after respinning/doing silicon... err what? How can they respin this close to launch?

    Then lines about performance... Chinese is tricky but an english of translation of "not 580" can mean "580 cant" etc.
