That's the card I want, but it depends, if it's going to be dual 6970s then I want it, but if it's dual 6950s then I'd prefer 2x 6970 cards instead, but that again depends on the size of the 6970s if they're the same size or smaller than 5870s then all is good :D

I wanna buy from OcUK, i really do, but when you say competitive do you mean in the sense of it'll be hard to find a cheaper 6970 in the UK, or competitive like your 6870s..?

Our 6870's are priced competively and our sales reflect this, we sell over 100 per week. :)

Our 6900's will be the cheapest in the UK and IN STOCK! Let me re-phrase IN STOCK is very important, we won't match anyone making up prices with no stock.
 
I had a dream last night that these came into stock on the website, and I was first to find and post such news. The post caused a rush at OCUK HQ where three people were trampled to death.

I hope this wasn't a premonition; no-one needs to die chaps. Let's keep calm :D

will the 6970s be quicker/better than the 5970 ?

NO.

5970 scores roughly 7000-7500 in 3dmark11 performance.
6970 allegedly scores 6800.

If you find a game that scales property with xfire it wont be beating a 5970.
One the other hand if you dont, it will lose.

Yes, and no. In some games it will be massively faster, other will be slower and we will get everything inbetween.

I think the HD6970 has a good chance of beating the HD5970 more often than not.

3d mark scores mean nothing, but do you have a link or source for that score ?
 
Well now I am glad you will not be running out of stock but can you tell us -

If you had the money which one would you buy Gibbo?

ATI 6970
Nvidia GTX 580
:D

There isn't an NDA breaker there I don't think.
 
Good timing!
my 4870X2 has decided to die, going to send it off for an RMA and see what happens

Either the 6970 or 5870 if it cant be fixed
 
Current rumours suggest release date for 6900 series as Jan 2011, prices for 6950 at $310 and 6970 at $450. I would've thought that the 6970 will be faster than the 5970, its does have 2GB mem although is purportedly clocked at 800mhz, with 850mhz on the 6950.
Looking forward to the 4gb 6990 though!

You'd be one massively lucky SOB to get a 6970 out of it, 1GB 5870 would be my bet. Don't accept anything lower ;)
