I am hoping thats not the case.
I am hoping AMD sticks them where it hurts and launches 6970 at £350.:D:D

I wouldn't mind if it the hight price if 580gtx out-performed 5970. But it wont / doesnt.

This is what AMD thought they could have faced when original Fermi came out. Too bad it was 8 months too late.

It already is a beast clocked at 775mhz.
At 1ghz not much would touch it.
We will see...
Great gpu that hasn't been gimped as 480...

This is the true fermi!

But at that price? Damn!

£350 and Nvidia u would have sold it to me. Heck even £399 I could have pushed it...

no, no you cant. ASUS OC edition you cant...

PNY from a micky mouse retailer yes maybe...
 
And this is a MID RANGE CARD THATS BEEN OUT FOR nearly 2 weeks.

Whats it going to be like for a SUPERCARD with poor yealds and limited numbers....facepalm indeed.
 
lol Krugga

Whats so difficult to understand?
Were comparing RRP prices of "ASUS cards" in China to "ASUS card" prices here in UK.

Simple yen conversion dont cut it.

I'll believe when I see it. There's nothing that would suggest that now though.



Exactly you muppet, it doesn't take much to figure out that Asus 6870 doesn't retail at £220 unless you want it to. It's on pre-order in most if not all places but can be had for much lower. It's not my problem that you have troubles finding it.

lets put a signature bet on this then? Prices here from OCUK. You say your price I say mine. Loser has to put a signature the other guy chooses? Hows that sound muppet?

I consider a speed bump when a manufacturer just just increased clock speeds and fits a better cooler, I.E basically just overclocking the card and maybe making a few PCB changes to handle it.

I can't divulge as to what NVIDIA has done due to NDA, but they've done a lot more than just that. :)

Of course Gibbo, that better be the case :D

  • The way it stands we got a 772mhz full 512 cuda Cores with 4000mhz DDR5 384-bit.
  • It should be able to beat a 480 gtx lightning OC which goes up to...900mhz 480 cuda cores with 4000mhz DDR5.

900mhz 480 cores vs 772mhz 512 cores...I am willing to bet that there isnt much between them. Naturally 580gtx will be able to be overclocked, less power draw and probably with a few gimmicks/tweaks chucked in such as surround support without the second card....

Check this out. 480 gtx lightning OC 900mhz - 4000mhz DDR5

Stock 480GTX = 57
Lightning 480 GTX overclocked = 78.2
Stock 5870 = 51

35% right there

And check out the minimum fps. Gets even worse..
Stock 480GTX = 18
Stock 5870 = 13
Lightning 480 OC = 58:eek:

I think its safe to say that Lightning OC to 900mhz with 4000mhz DDR5 will be as fast as 580GTX. Naturally, 580GTX will have reduced power, quieter operation, tweaked this/that and itself will be able to OC. But its a good baseline as to whats coming.

over 50% speed of a stock 5870. Dont think that 6970 can catch it, it will have to be 50% speed up over 5870.:cool::cool:

Oh no not Crysis2! Anything but...

Crysis = Poorly coded, boring 1 person shoot em up......:confused:

Ahead of its time, more like ahead of Cryteks programming skills....

Crysis2 = console coded with additional DX11 addon........:confused:

aye but I can see a lot of price gauging. :-(
6970 wont be out for another 2 weeks, and 580gtx is going to be the fastest the most wow gfx for those 2 weeks.
If I was running a business I would sell these 580gtx for 500£ because you know there will be plenty nvidia fanboys that will pay that money to have it there and then. By Dec prices should settle to a more resonable 400£ <
