i hope so this money is burning a hole in my pocket

Sweet finally to see to "real" benchmarks...cant wait

psychas · 15 Oct 2010 at 18:51

prays for low prices of 6870 (never going to happen )

edit : waits for 6950 or 6970 depends on price/ performance

cainer · 15 Oct 2010 at 18:59

waiting for the 6970 myself, did have CF 5870's but due to lack of use i sold one a couple of weeks ago while i could still get £250 for it

, if the 6970 offers <30% increase across the board il stick with 1 5870 untill the 7970 is launched, 30% or more and im sold

I can't make my mind up... building a new system within the next couple of weels big can't decide if I should just jump in and get a 5970 or wait... I have a 8800GTX I could use for a little...

Will it be another paper launch like with the 5870? supply was low for a good 6mths if I remember correctly.

I bagged one on release day but they were nearly always on pre-order after that, I think they were release October time and were still hard to get the following March.

GJ02 · 15 Oct 2010 at 21:07

when do you think we can see specs and benchies for the 69xx range ?

AMG · 15 Oct 2010 at 21:11

I know were my money is going asus/intel...I don't see the need to upgrade, even if these are faster than my GTX480

5870 was not a paper launch, paper launch is no stock available on launch day.

Any new gen tech, using new gen directx is always going to be in short supply.

If it was me, I would wait it out. It wont be long until proper benchmarks are available.

It was far closer to a paper launch than a hard launch, just because one or two batches of cards reach retail doesn't make a hard launch, a hard launch would be when retailers are supplied with sufficient stock to meet demand prior to launch.

Its a Enthusiast forum the want to upgrade will far outweigh the need

jorzeh · 16 Oct 2010 at 13:46

isnt the 6870 a replacement for the 5830 if so i don't see them being faster then a 5870
