    My opinion is that AMD is acting like a coward chicken...
    I understand 2-3 weeks befoure launch, NDA to be respected, but 3-4 days befour launch is pointless. I mean what market advantage Nvidia should have if we know the true specification about the cards now.
    1 week befoure launch we should know(this was the case of GTX 580,GTX 570) the true specification(core speed/sp/mem speed) and the official price.
    I'm not talking about performance, just to know the specification .
    Acting like that nobody would rush to buy 6950/6970 from the first day because nobody knows what the hack is with these cards.
    If they are a true adversar and the have the right card in hand, Amd should have leaked more information about 6950 and 6970 and kill the GTX 580 and GTX 570 sells.

    And if the rumours are true and Amd is sending crippled cards to reviews, than Amd is no better than Nvidia with the false Fermi card last year.
    I don't say they have do it, but, how can you compare the Fermi false card ( wooden screw ), with a company who send card with false specification, lowered to tester for be sure no one spec leaks, ( or point from where the leaks go ) ...
    There's something AMD know well: - you need to look the AMD6870 launch, and realize one day before the cards are released, Nvidia have send to many reviewers, a EVGA super Overclocked GTX470 and GTX460 ( who was not released in the market yet ) + LP2 benchmark... asking them to include it in the test of the new HD6870 .... i can understand they wait about the same thing and can imagine to see a lot of GTX580-570 overclocked to be released on the Cayman launch .. I can bet thoses cards will be from Evga, and they are waiting for fix the good clock on them ...
