AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

Absolutely agree. 5970 owners need to wait until Anthilles/595 come out, in the next year. 580 is good choice for single-gpu owners (5870/480).

Forget that, 5970 owners need to wait until 28nm or 7xxx or gtx 6xx cards before they want to upgrade.

The 5970 is underutilized in most games and is overkill for anything that is not an eyefinity setup.

But if your making a new card purchase now, most if not all reviewers are giving the nod to the gtx 580 over the 5970(even with a 500 dollar price) because future support is going to be much better and their are still erratic games as f1 2010 demonstrate in the hardwareheaven and Hardocp review show. This should be extremely embarrassing considering this is an AMD branded game and the game has been out for 3 months.

The gtx 580 is not that crazy good. Its good enough for this generation and so is the level of performance offered by the 5970. Cards that are alot faster are not needed for anything other than eyefinity and maybe crysis 2.
