6 TLFOPS! In a 300W package I'd be really impressed if they pulled it off.

And a couple more, there are a fair number of slides I saw, but a lot of boring tech garble slides.

Dec 15th is apparently the day now, according to Fuad:
http://fudzilla.com/graphics/item/21113-cayman-radeon-hd-6970-and-6950-launch-december-15th

450$ USD, sounds about right. Well I mean cheaper is better, but it's cheaper than the GTX580.
http://fudzilla.com/graphics/item/21112-radeon-hd-6970-priced-at-$450

It's all from Fuad: to be taken with a heaping spoonful of salt.

I'm guessing the 15th. I'm sure there will be some actual useful leaks beforehand.

It's do or die time for team red!

Looking at the blow pic it would seem that a 6970 is around 20% faster than a 480GTX.

BUT OOOOOH I guess there is fugdery in the numbers:

Fake fake fake fake, almost as bad as that 7xxx series slide with a release date of April 1st, 2011.

If these are under $400 I will most likely pick one up and sell my 5850. I am expecting about 10% higher performance than a 480 but nowhere near 20% (unless we're lucky). Who else plans on getting out their wallets for this guy?

Post subject:  Re: 6970 "new" release date:

we'll see. The 5850 is the best single card solution I have bought in a very long time if ever. It would take one mean card for a good price to get me to switch.

At least there will be a glut of used 5850's locally next year. Kaching!

And some official pix. Apparently comparable in size to a 5870 (which make sense, since it's the spiritual successor to the 5870).

Wednesday is fun day!
