What we got after release, was disappointing for many AMD-fans. But it's understandable if they wouldn't admit it publicly. Because many of them have been emotionally involved in fighting for 6970.

AMD or nvidia, doesn't matter which, the high-end is all about performance-crown. Make no mistake!
Are you confusing that with a bunch of posts quoted from other forums that said the 6970 would beat the 580?

Why do you keep trying to flamebait the "AMD-fans"? Can't you exhibit a little of that much vaunted impartiality you keep preaching about?

And if a 1 gb version is released that is cheaper than the GTX570, by god I'll probably buy it.
