    Finally a new rumor, but a fud rumor 10-20% faster than gtx 480.

    My views of Nvidia are pretty bleak too. I was thinking they were going to have to conceded the entire directx 11 generation considering their marketshare and the slow adoption rate of a mainstream part as good as the gtx 460. One thing I was definitely bleak over is AMD mobile CPU division for the longest part. Considering the reviews for them were mostly negative from a performance vs battery perspective, i think it was well justified. Hopefully that changes with bulldozer.

    On another note, I wonder how true the below link is.

    Radeon HD 6970 is 10 - 20% faster than GTX 480

    Not as impressive as I would have thought considering the hype, but very believable and in line with a $450 price tag rumors leaked. If they can stay near the 200w area, they have a real winner over the gtx 5xx if they lower the price a bit. If the performance is only 10-20% faster than the gtx 580, we probably have good reason for one of the delays and I expected better. Hopefully this isn't true but it is rather realistic at this point.

    Still potential for the difference to be with from a 6950, but then again, this is fudzilla so everything is not close to reliable.

    Nonetheless Fud usually right when it is this close to launch.
