AMD Radeon HD6950/6970(Cayman) Reviews

[VoodooProphetII]

Now that Cayman is closer but not quite that the performer of the 580, its doom and gloom? Seriously?

I've read through so many posts on this forum, and I find it odd that when people say that it would be the end of Nvidia, or doom and gloom for Nvidia or anything bad about Nvidia it is fine. It seems around here we'll grab at anything that would make our assumptions "seem" valid but will ignore anything that might counter our assumptions or beliefs.

I know that I'll be labelled as a troll for stating my opinion, not because it is my opinion but because I seem to be stepping on toes. As they say: "If the shoe fits, then you should wear it."
