6970 or 6990 or something else

[Phoenixdancer]

We do know that Charlie is lying about the 580 not being as fast as Cayman at least...

At what cost?

2x the size.. 2x the heat and 2x the power useage...

and the cost will be unreal.

Meh no thanks

 

[=VTA=MANFACE]

I will skip this series till the next.

Whatever will run a dell 30" and a second one for 2d, on high.

 

[ebilcake]

I like how people have already decided what to buy without even seing any reviews, got to love fanboys.

 

[Cd0gz]

Best power price combo wins for me. I would prefer to go with AMD tho.

 

[Bergkamp]

Give it a rest DM, it really is getting old now.

I actually did lol at the irony.

 

[Yurihyuga]

If you can wait untill 2012 for it and have 1000W PSU then yeh.

1000 pfftt Nvidia will be in the record books requiring a 1200W supply for the card itself need another power supply for the rest.
have to get a dig in somewhere

ok seriously now, ill be waiting till next year to see if Nvidia does improve on the 480 for the new release and make my decision then + gotta clear my CC before i buy anything anyway

 

[rolypolyman]

I was just gonna get the 6870 as it seems to satisfy my needs at the release price of £176 or thereby. Then the price gouging kicked in and the retailor greed and now at £200+ it doesn't look so attractive. So I'll wait, for now.

 

[RedStarRiot]

Gonna wait till I see reviews and decide if im getting a 6970 or another 5870 for xfire.

Lol, surely the 580GTX isn't going to be out for ages, not remember the fermi cards lol, took forever to actually come out , plus there was hardly any stock iirc, remember seeing posts on these forums, everyone complaining and moaning , about not having there fermi cards for like a month or more

If the reviews are good for the 6970, I'll get it , plus I am sure that ATI will get the pricing just right compared to nvidias cards

I heard a rumour that apparently came from an AIB who deals with both Nv and AMD cards, and apparently they have received 10x the volume of Cayman based cards compared to the 580.
So the 580 will be in extremely short supply unless demand is as low as it was for the 480...

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Is the 6990 going to be the dual card daddy?

I am expecting big things from 6970. Hopefully it wont disappoint.

 

[jakspyder]

[NZXT30]

this forum is getting worse every time i read it. what's with all the fanboys and the level of IQ dropping below 0?

 

[Porcelina]

Is the 'I am going to spec you a 580' a meme?

Or is it becoming one with this thread?

Or is there some information on it that has completely flown me by.
