AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[duploxxx]

Not sure why would you direct that comment at me, never told you not to buy AMD if you need a specific single brand feature.

I was saying it at trolls who make it out to be something vital to everyone, like this one As if everyone needs 6 displays from one card , it is a very tiny nich market. Same for 7.1 speaker setup over Graphics card HDMI port.

Random gamer out of the box will have more benefit from PhysX and 3D gaming. If you go by tifosi logic you could say "why get AMD if they don't have PhysX".
Then again some people don't care for any of that but very narrow feature set FPS/dollar.



Cool buy what fits your needs, now why troll and post such nonsense. You do realize exact same statement can be said to you. Or anyone else.

by accident didn't see me response to you
I''ll repeat again what the 6970 will offer more then your beloved nv580

cost less with probably only few fps less in some games which will never be noticable
2GB ram
less power consumption, so cheaper in the long run
3 monitor setup out of the box (yes we ship 25K units a year like that so I love it that ATI brings that to the plate, only need 1 gpu now)
2 displayport + 1 hdmi + 2dvi got to love the choice without required conversion.
able to combine with APU in the near future for free for enhanced performance.
better cf scaling then SLI

I'm just waiting for the response from this thread when the reviews come out. It's going to be epic.

or yours when you see nv is dropping 50$ on the 570 and 100 on the 580 because of competition... but then you'll be no where anymore in this thread...

comments are epic depending on what anyone would expect of a card.

I expect slightly higher 5870 perf with much better dx11 performance with power consumption under controll, very sure i will be right and it is the right card just in time ready for the next shrink to increase perf and size while nv needs the shrink for powercontroll and size controll, that is the opposit and not so bright future of nv.

I'll rephrase as good as sli scaling , since nv fanboys have been crying out loud for years that it was better then cf...

From Anandtech forums (scaling performance excl. 6870):

HD 5850 vs HD 6850 vs GTX 470 scaling at 1920x1200

Bad Company 2:::: 72% vs 97% vs 82%
Modern Warefare2: 38% vs 33% vs 69%
Dirt 2::::::::::::::: 59% vs 84% vs 82%
Far Cry 2::::::::::: 76% vs 95% vs 75%
Anno 1404:::::::::: N/A vs 63% vs 86%
Crysis Warhead:::: 63% vs 84% vs 62%
Metro 2033:::::::: 84% vs 100% vs 95%
Average: 65% (HD5850) vs 79% (HD6850) vs 79% (GTX 470)

I don't see anywhere referring to CF a VGA with an APU in this article.

I don't say its not possible but the added performance will be minimal (It could even be negative).

Oh I'll be here don't you worry.

Actually most likely I'll buy a 6970 since I'm going 3-monitor eyefinity next and eventually go crossfire too. Still I don't have delusions about GTX 580 class performance for GTX 570 price or 100$ price drops. AMD will price these according to performance.

That would be awesome, would buy 2 580s as soon as that price comes to effect.
