AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

I'm comparing Overclockers 580 and 5970 prices to that £400.

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?

AMD always had more competitive prices in the last 3 years, if it's priced higher than 580 from the start it has to offer a higher performance

I concur, but only if the price set by AMD is higher, not the price set by price gouging online outlets.
