Good stuff Humbug. I was about to start an AMD_ROY thread just for Greg after he asked for it earlier but seeing as you've done this i won't bother.
Humbug get on to roy and find out what time the AMD stuff starts so we can tune in. We're all counting on you Humbug, don't let us down.
What time is that here? Will that be on this live stream?

If Humbug is right it will be 1am our time if my calculations are correct.
Apparently you've not set up your steam profile yet, noob.
How did you do it ? I wouldn't mind adding mine, though that does mean i would lose my stylish sig. Hmmm.
One of you guys is gonna have to stay up and record it, all of it, for the rest of us.
Who wants the responsibility?
If 8970 is around £400 and comes with bf4 I would be very happy.
Has AMD said anything about there new graphics cards at e3 yet?
I think this image summarises E3 thus far:

Yeah i see your reasoning and i don't necessarily disagree with it. I think if Nvidia had made decent gains with similarly priced 7xx cards AMD's hand would have been forced. As it is they can bide their time and pick the moment they think is best for launch, which is clearly not right now. They also might be waiting for Nvidias full 7xx line up before releasing. This way they can alter things like clock speed to ensure they're faster.
I would have liked to see new cards, but to be honest ive just got a 7950 crossfire setup and seeing how this ploughs through titles at 1440p no new cards are needed, performance wise imo. So i can kind of see why they're thinking lets just wait a bit.
That said, i would like it if they came out with a brute of a card and took the single gpu performance crown back, but at the end of the day what does that matter. Price vs performance is AMD's trademark.
There was a chart that showed the possible specs of the new cards, which probably isn't true, but could be. Even if it is it would put the 8970 ahead of the 780 by no more than the 780 is ahead of the 7970ghz now. my point being I can see no reason for any delay. They would get more sales in the next four months than they would from the extra boost that a release with BF4 would bring.
edit: found it
Interesting breakdown humbug. Going by this a 8950 ain't much different than a 7970 GE and 8970 quite close to a 780 but certainly not a "Titan killer". It looks underwhelming given how much time they've had.
