AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[RaZz!]

is this real or not?

the latter.

6970 has 1536 SPs, and clocks are wrong as well.

*edit* just realized the release date. probably fake

[Dimitriman]

is this real or not?

6980?

probably fake. 1920 shaders at 900mhz would have been much faster than 580. to be 5% slower it cant be that well specced.

is this real or not?

this is the supercroc edition

*fake*

let me throw more fire into the wood !

[hurrdurr]

On OCUK the cheapest 580 is 470 pounds, and 6970's go for 280 pounds

YEAH!!!!

Guys, GPU-Z isn't reading how many shaders are actually on the card. It only displays whatever w1zzard programmed into the program to display for a given hardware ID. It's also easy to change the values in that program just by overwriting bits of its memory space--no image manipulation required, so you can't really ever take a GPU-Z shot as gospel.

hd 6970 350€= 470$
hd 6970 300€=403$

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/produc...=56&subid=1752

Taking this shop prices.

6950 - From 213.99 GBP to 249.99 GBP (252.39€ to 294.85€)

6970 - From 277.99 GBP to 339.99 GBP (327.84€ to 400.96€)

Rates - http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi


That's some amazing prices

I expect here in Portugal the 6950 to cost around 300€... i'll get one for shure

[nascasho]

Just use this and draw your own assumptions:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/produc...ortby=priceAsc

w/o VAT the cheapest 6950 would be $287.64

w/0 VAT the cheapest 6970 would be $373.67

No idea if those prices are marked up or not and no idea if that's what it'll show up as here, could be cheaper or more expensive. We'll know soon enough though.


EDIT: damn, 3min behind Sesto Sento, lol

Chinese seem very.. excited ? :p

[Oztopher]

Judging from product positioning in the UK, the 6950 is just a nudge above the GTX 470 and 6870 in terms of pricing, so you can probably take your best guess from that.

Compare with GTX 580. The cheapest GTX 580 on that site is 470 pounds and the 6970 is 280 pounds.

According to this, wherever you are, multiplying GTX 580 price with 60 percent should give your 6970 price. Taking into account 580's MSRP is $499 6970's MSRP could actually be $299 (more like $349, though)

All is easy... He came in rubber

I hate to say this, but it looks like KitGuru was right when they said "the cards' performances will be slightly below Nvidia but they will be priced insanely"

240 British pounds sterling = 378.6480 US dollars

Looks suspiciously like the MSRP for the 58xx at launch. Those poor, poor early adopters of the GTX580. Bent over the barrel and done dry without the courtesy of a reach around or a even a thank you. $120-$170 seems like an awfully stiff premium to pay for a month in the e-peen light. On a side note it does look like Nvidia has sold out what stock of GTX580 they had. The egg beater is completely out of stock.

If it actually is $350 at launch I'll officially be blown away.

Yep, I'm betting roughly 58xx launch prices... well, sans the gouging but with a hard launch, I doubt it'll be bad... look at all those AIBS!

Isnt it the other way around?

amd radeon hd 6970 review

lol

[Motiv]

Deja Vu to the 4870 launch this. Looks like AMD have got another winner on their hands. Low price, lower power draw, high performance, low noise. I take it Nvidia will be offering refunds before friday again?

[Kristers Bensin]

so if the OcUK prices are correct we have a new 4870 on our hands as the pricedifference on 6970 and gtx 580 is 190 pounds

I might go for dual 6850s or 6950s depending on the price in sweden, this would go so well with my new bulldozer cpu who's gonna accompanying me in april 2011

[Pantsu]

Considering ocUK sells GTX 570 for around 279£, 6970 msrp will be around the same as GTX 570, or perhaps a tenner or two more. Now it's only the question of how much performance it has compared to a GTX 570.
