Lets say the 6950 ends up slower then the 570. Even if it has 2GB VRAM that doesn't mean it will have the power behind it to actually use it. I'm not worried about a VRAM limitation that much, since I am not running a triple display setup or 2560x1600 screen personally.Originally Posted by jeanjean15
Only 1.2 gb of memory isn't enough to be futur-proof .

-NOT BAD for a card with only 1mb of memory on board. lol
Back to this HD6950 slide:
The articles (exp.) state the card will consume about 140W.
So why does HD6950 needs two 6-pin power connectors?
It is obvious that one is 6-pin power connector enough, like here:
or here:
If someone can fully answer that I'd agree with the specs in the first slide.

How about 3850/70 again which is not bad because I am thinking about the 7 series oops I mean the 4800 series all over again.So basically you're getting an 470 and 480 in AMD flavor with less heat and power consumption. Isn't that what everybody wanted?
Oh wait nvidia just launched the 570 and the 580. I have to say the 570 is and will be a phenomenal deal.
I want stock 1.2 ghz core/mem 2gb 512bit gddr3 150w power draw.
Right now were @ 900/1000 1gb 256bit gddr5 188w.
Power: 272W – EVGA GTX 480
Power: 185W – ATI Radeon HD 5870
Power: 147W – ASUS EAH6870
Power: 135W – MSI N460GTX Cyclone 768D5 OC
HD 6970 Better than GTX 480 in 3 game About 6.9%
Price is going to be the deciding factor. If its too high they're going to shoot themselves in both feet.

lower tdp = ocer's dream ... why would that be bad for people who have either a full cover h20 block ... or plan to go ln2 on those cards ???
if they rumors are really true and the card is just a couple % under 580 or on par with them ... and they run at half the tdp wich the powertune thingy on .... it only means that with the people overvolting and ocing like crazy will give them big gains .. wich will make them shine .... its all that i could ask for .. and if its what ends up ... amd really did something great... same 40nm node ... new arch that draws less power ... gets more tesselation for future title .. + big oc headroom ... how can that be bad ????

Because the 6970/6950 have 3 TDPs, idle, normal gaming and max board power.Back to this HD6950 slide:
The articles (exp.) state the card will consume about 140W.
So why does HD6950 needs two 6-pin power connectors?
If someone can fully answer that I'd agree with the specs in the first slide.
Idle will probably be around ~20w, normal gaming is 190-200w/140w and max board power is 250w/200w, respectively.
Max board power is the limit put in place for power viruses and overclocking, using the switch.

German is my mother tongueI think he's currently benching AVP, so hopefully he will post the settings later on. Other users were already mentioning that to him as well.

Hmm I am not impressed by the 6970... only thing improved was the tesslation performance and thats not enough to buy me a new card... for most situations my HD5870@950mhz is faster then a default 6970...
I'm gona skip this generation completly and wait for the next in summer, hopefully they are already on 28nm node... this alone should yield better power consumption and better oc capability.
Comparing your card to one generation old competitor cards = YOU WIN

3.3FPS over 5870, sounds like fail....
I'm curious 5870 at 880core, 1350 memory what score should have...?

agreed to a certain extent ... not everyone has a 5000 series gpu .... for example .. me
but the oc headroom might make the difference ... still waiting for proper reviews to seal the deal ...

If it's priced acceptably then it definitely looks very attractive!
Need some reviews!

Sure, for those people every card is a upgrade...agreed to a certain extent ... not everyone has a 5000 series gpu .... for example .. me
but the oc headroom might make the difference ... still waiting for proper reviews to seal the deal ...
I was prepared to upgrade every half year.. but lately thing have slowed down a lot... well more money to invest in other things.
that graphs puts HD6950/HD6970 neck and neck with GTX570/GTX580 perf. wise, not bad, but after 1 year and 2 months I was expecting more
According to that slide HD 6970 is about as fast as a GTX 580. Considering GTX 580 is about 15% faster than a GTX 480.
