ATI cuts 6950 allocation

Do you believe Nvidia/AMD have any idea what each other are going to launch in say 6 months time?

Would you suspect that Nvidia already know the final specs of the 6970?

Yes and yes.

Enough Exec's swap from side to side each year to slip whatever they know about forthcoming development and design. Whilst neither side will know exactly what the other side will release, they will have pretty good ideas. It is a safe bet that NVidia know what is coming on Monday, and have done for some weeks or months.

This is not to mention the army of factory spies amd third paty suppliers / manufacturers that will be buttered up by both sides.

I for one at this point and going along with an open mind but, from what Gibbo has mentioned, raven and the other member, it's looking very promising

Gibbo indicated that performance was very good but as far as I know it was not quantified against a known constant (GTX580 for example). Did he mean very good for the price, very good performance per Watt, very good for a card that only had 1536 shaders, etc..? My feeling is that if this was going to be the R300, ATI would have leaked more snippets of information to deter GTX570/GTX580 buyers. Monday's launch product may still be a peach or a lemon.
 
no im being serious
i thought wednesday was launch day, where has monday come from ?
15th December, 5 am GMT is the product launch date. Most launches are on Tuesdays in the US.

In saying that ATI caught Nvidia napping with the 4870. There was tonnes of mis information put out by ATI leading up to the 4870 launch and this is looking similiar.

One can only hope that they have a much faster card than a gtx580 for less money.

It would be great news for both ATI and Nvidia fans.

The consumer wins with a price war.:D

If they come in at a good price, i might actually consider one, tbh ive never owned an ati card, ive always bought nvidia, not through any loyalty or such ilk, ive always bought cheaper middle range cards and avoided driver changing issues etc, 7900 gt, 8800 gts 640, g92 gts 512, the only high end card i bought was a gtx 280, that didnt go well tbh. I currently run sli gtx 470's, (bargain at £259.00 after selling my 275's). If pricing was good id maybe make the move to an ati card, or two as my mobo is xfire/sli compatible. Besides, it's said that you should always try new things.:)
