AMD 6*** series, pre-order or wait for user benchmarks?

[cainer]

so, will you pre-order as soon as you can and if so what brand would you likely go for?
or will you wait to see what benchmark scores home users have posted here on OCuK?

personaly i was going to pre order the 5870 replacement (6870/6970??) as ive been getting the tech upgrade bug but ive decided to stick with 1 5870 (did have 2 just sold 1) untill we get a good over all picture of the performance increase the 6*** series has to offer. if its marginal then il wait to see what non-reference variants turn up

Pre-order the Cayman 6970 instead of moving sideways...

when i said

the 5870 replacement (6870/6970??)

i didnt mean the equivalent in performance, i ment their replacement for their fastest single GPU... wether they are gonna call it the 6870 or 6970 we still dont know for sure do we??
