Gibbo please give us length measurements for each card when you can.

Also is there going to be more for sale than the GTX580's were on launch?

He's previously stated that if he tried to build a pyramid with all the 6900's it wouldn't fit on the OCUK offices... so yes more cards.

I wouldn't buy *too* many if it really only has 1536 shaders and they're asking for £400

I wonder if the fact that OcUK purchased so many says something about their expectations. Still, I wouldn't buy any graphics card over 250 (that seems to be the point where performance boosting becomes unnecessary) so I hope you guys find a LOAD of hardware fanatics to clear your stock

With 580gtx out of stock I would buy a truckload! They bound to sell up!

oooh, the launch is getting close. I'm gonna wait till the 6990 comes along though so i can make an informed decision. i rushed into buying my two 460's and i don't wanna make that mistake again.

nicnik · 9 Dec 2010 at 18:32

cainer · 9 Dec 2010 at 18:43

RedStarRiot · 9 Dec 2010 at 18:44

titaniumx3 · 9 Dec 2010 at 19:43

The wait is getting excruciating now. I never knew I was such an ATI fanboy!
