You know.... I remember when hardocp's reviews pretty much always showed NVidia winning, and in fact showed quite a bit of bad light on ATi. This site was ready to boycott them entirely, automatically dismissing anything [H] had to post.... My, how peoples minds change when a website pumps up their side instead.



Yep, 10.12 was sure the miracle driver, wasn't it guys?

Anyway the driver argument is an argument I will never understand. People... Have we NOT learned our lesson here about "potential increases via driver performance?" Better yet, ask those people with HD 2900XT's if they ever saw that potential unleashed. Yes, drivers will increase performance somewhat, but increases occur for both sides.

Looking at what we are presented with today, things become pretty clear. NVidia surprised AMD with the GTX580 and GTX570, there's really no arguing against that when you look at the last minute price cuts of the 69xx series.

Now, what I really want to know is...how will AMD manage a dual gpu out of cayman? That's going to take a rather strong feat to pull off. If they manage it without stripping it down too much, I will surely tip my hat to them.

p.s. SkyMTL, can we expect a overclocked vs overclocked review of the 6970 vs GTX 570 from you in the near future?
If they can get their right with tsmc and global foundaries and actually make a 28nm chip then we might be talking... Thats what the long delay was because of tmsc joke if u ask me..
