AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[Lanek]

I realised that this thread is almost as epic as this Fermi-thread:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ighlight=fermi

Last two intresting and hyped graphic card releases made about 2000 replies and 200 000 views. I wonder is there some pattern to it ?

My optimistic guess is that 6970 will be about as fast as 570. If its faster, thats even better.

edit. i noticed Fermi-thread continued to other threads so Cayman hype isnt even half of what Fermi was..

your optimist guess ? the 570 have the same perf of the the GTX480(+-2%) .. so you think AMD will manage to release an HD6970 14months after released the HD5870 and who can only match the GTX480 ?

I don't want to know what is happend when you are pessimist .... ( it's a joke don't take it bad )

Anyway, posted from Hilbert Guru3D, he just have got his samples for the review.


it's confirm most site should get the card this next days

Don’t forget the 2x DX-11 Tessellation performance vs Cypress 5870.

If it was only that ( not sure tesselation perf will show in most games DX11, the higher intensive ones are Nvidia games as LP2 and HawX2 ) ... but yes ofc all the change made count, i don't think the 6970 will just match the 480..
