AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

If the HD 6970 is 25% faster than GTX 570 why not compare it to GTX 580 ?

Settings are odd too ... 2560X1600 8AA 16AF is difficult to handle for the GTX 570 1280 MB, no tesselation, no ssao ...

I don't think reviews will tell us that HD 6970 is 25% faster than GTX 570, but I'm not in the know, for sure ...

they compared 6870 to GTX460 1gb and 6850 to gtx 460 768 yet they were slightly faster than the 470 and faster than 460 1gb

it's part of their marketing bigger numbers = better, additionally it has some influence on reviews ("card is designed to take on 460, even faster than 470..." makes it sound better than "it can barely beat GTX470")
