ding ding ding ding that is the CORRECT answer sir!

Its not that these cards suck, it's cause Amd's small chips lower power strategy failed this time around. These cards are shader starved and thing are worst off this round then they were last round. At least the 5870 had clear performance and power advantage over the 470.
Also I am not too pleased with the 6950, its basically 10%% faster than Barts in most cases and that is barely relevant. They could just as well given 6870 2gb and more clock and called it a day.

Amd should be praying there won't be a dual fermi in the works cause that will destroy their strategy on all levels then.
