Quick search brings up that the Fractal can take up to 290mm, will be a little tight but will fit

15mm to spare. Could get a bus in there.

None for launch.

Yeah, you will see those as time progresses, custom cooling solutions etc.

The 'Big beaver' would be a good name for a case.'It takes 11 inches with ease'....no problem laying cable in that!

Any idea when they will be available?

Been looking at a replacement for my old 4890, depending on how the launch/reviews go I might get a 6970 instead of the 6870.

Fanatic · 14 Dec 2010 at 16:31

Yup, if the 6970 is £300 or less, and it looks like it will be, I think I'll get one to replace my 4870.

This seems like a fair point - what is this, dominos? Surely you wouldn't take all the cards out of their boxes?

I think after they have survived on a truck from China, then a trip across the world on an airplane, then into UK couriers.

I think after all that they can survive been stacked in a nice warm heated office.

No different to them sitting on shelving in our warehouse waiting to be picked.

That would be a bit of a stretch, although that would make for an awesome xfire promotion.

Thats assuming the performance of the 6970 is around the GTX 570 , if it is , say 15% or more then closer to £300 is more likely , plus early adoption tax as well
