10.11 (ones in the box with the card!)
Dear Gibbo,
You previously stated that 6970/6950 are both great buys
much better than Nvidias current offerings. Based on the prices
you mentioned these cards must perform great.
6950 should be on par with 570 in general
6970 should be on par with 580 in general
can you please at least confirm at least above scenario?
thnx
cestvrai

I am sure Gibbo would love to confirm figures but he obviously cannot. Within 5 minutes of breaking the NDA, men in black suits wearing small AMD logos will make him disappear. Alternatively, false accusations about him mollesting a graphics card will appear and he will be extradited to Canada for punishment.

Canada!? thats bit harsh!
ps
Also since these cards are "rubbish" I presume they are going to be around the 300-350 mark?
Could you try the new 10.12 drivers and see if it makes a difference? Apparently, the 10.11 doesn't support the new cards. It says this on the AMD's driver website.

Really dosent matter if he does not tell us, he is using the same drivers as Ducati750SS and Harry97 so the results Gibbo gets will be the same barring other system influences.
Until someone can run the 10.12 drivers with a 6970 nothing will change.

Cheap enough and I might get one, but Im swaying on the fence at this time. I might just wait for the 7000 series in the hope that they will show a true performance boost.
After experiencing microstuttering with my 4870x2 I wont dare look at the 6990 card.

True......But at least it resolve that particular uncertainty. Really, none of this making sense. How can 6950 be the same price as the 570, yet be slower, and the 6970 cost more than 570, yet be even with it?
Two more days of this headache.........

Don't understand your logic here? The 5970 is faster than a 580, does that mean the 580 is rubbish when it can't beat a year old card? Madness rofl. If this card comes in at a cracking price which it should then it's a great card. It's the new tesselation king which the fanboys have been banging the drum on for ages, I personally think it would make an ace card around 300
dx11 monster for future titles?

That said, any guesses on how much these will start at?
It is strange that 6900 has only made minor gains within most benchmarks apart from Heaven. It seems very perculiar when you consider that the cores ate ~15% larger, memory bandwidth is ~15% greater (and ther is twice as much of it), and all of those supposed optimations that 6900 is said to deliver.
but all the other benches youve seen appart from the ones here of heaven has been from that german guy ducati and his m8 harry...
