If its a disappointment at least new Catalyst is looking sweet. Looks alot more intuitive and easier to manage.
funny thing is that even if the file is huge, ati has one of the fastest downloads ive ever used (limited to my measly comcast speeds). 80MB down before i even confirm the save location.

The new Catalyst might be a reason why the 6900's got held back to December... big simultaneous release
Yeah, their servers are what I use to test or check my bandwidth.

I've not always been sure that the 6970 will be faster than the 580, I've been hopeful but not sure. But seeing Overclockers expect to sell at £400 I'd have to say faster. From the rumours yields are fine, even with 2GB of ram as standard AMD wouldn't charge that much unless (very worse case scenario) it was within 5% of the 580.
Basically the 580 is as near perfect as Fermi can get on 40nm, it's a strong card and AMD wouldn't charge equivalently unless they had a winner. Also neither company has let their PR dogs loose AMD has stayed silent that in my books means there's no damage control to be done.
The maths you've done hoping to figure Cayman out is very interesting, but we don't even know the real number of shaders. All we know is that Cayman is about as big as AMD is comfortable making, and that AMD could beat a 480 with a core slightly bigger than Cypress just using the optimisations found in Barts.
At £400 they are on price parity with both the 580 and the 5970 (which easily costs more to make) in the UK, which only means one thing, it wins.
Overclockers have always price gouged new products for as much as they can get away with, especially if that new product is thin on the ground. I wouldn't use Overclocker prices as proof that the 6970 will be faster, it's just proof that they are trying to get as much money out of early adopters as possible.![]()

Hey guys, i can let you know distributors are taking first shipment's this week and resellers have the option to start purchasing now for the release, This is for Australia i am unsure of other countries but imagine will be same time.
A little bit of inside info given to me is yes they are faster than 580 but by how much i have no idea and they wouldn't break NDA to divulge anything else.

Well its good to know tho that the 6970 looks like it will be the fastest out there. Now the question is.. how much faster?
I'm comparing Overclockers 580 and 5970 prices to that £400.
If the 6950 is faster too, then it'll be the 9700pro all over again. But I can't see that happening as the numbers we're hearing about shader count so far would put the two Cayman's pretty far apart.
If both are faster, then nvidia will be frozen out of DX11 altogether, I doubt you'd see a high profile physx game for another two years.

Fair enough, I accept that price can be indicative of performance. The point I am trying to make is that the prices charged by an online store known for price gouging on new, hard to obtain GPU products shouldn't be taken as absolute indication of the performance of such GPU's. It is an indication of greed rather than performance.
For instance OC prices for an Asus 580 are approx £50 more than the same product from Scan. Does this mean that an Asus 580 purchased from OC is faster than the same Asus 580 purchased from Scan?
