Cam someone post a link to some £250 570s?

*****OcUK Benchmark Results from ATI HD 69xx Series*****

At least you will be able buy a 6970/50 over the coming months at a decent price, the 580 shortage is shocking and pushing Nvidia prices higher. Come the reviews I believe we will see very close performance between the top four GPU's, but AMD will win hands down on pricing, power draw and temps.

Well, this is what Gibbo said about the new drivers:
The new drivers are much faster, but I did not get them in time. The new drivers basically mean a 6970 beats a GTX 580 in tessellation or at least is no longer chasing it.
Wait for reviews tomorrow guys, its a fantastic card for the money, but the GTX 580 does still have outright power, but it cost more.
For the same money I'd be bagging myself a pair of 6950's.

Ive just looked at my old results and yes I'm getting better min fps and extreme tessellation performance, but the scores and high fps are lower.
Lower resolution, and no details about whether the card was run at stock or overclocked.
maybe these are amd special brew drivers that optimize a lot of stuff so only the ship is rendered.
Hmm. AMD were never going to match the nvidia top cards overall, we all know that.
Nvidia's architecture means although they squeeze maybe 5% extra out in their relative class of card, they are never going to be able to supply in similiar quantities at similiar prices with their huge die size and low yield rates, and that will never change until they change their fundamental GPU design or some chip manufacturing miracle happens.
AMDs GPU business has less of a hill to climb, its improved on its efficient architecture, it can supply massive amounts of cards that are competitively priced with plenty of stock, offering great performance/price ratio, sell in huge quantities, make lots of profit, subsequently pouring a load more cash into R&D for next generation of cards.
I know which side im betting on right now, and judging by this launch, things can only get better.

and get banned for it? They are available, and if you look hard enough you can fine 580's very cheap as well.
Huh, have you been looking at the benchmarks? I haven't seen any leaked benchmarks show that the 6970 is slower than GTX 480 which is equal to GTX 570 in performance. Why do people keep thinking GTX 570 is way faster than 480, it isn't. About 80% benchmarks seem to suggest that it performs a little slower the GTX 580. The other 20% seem to suggest that it might outperform GTX 580 with new drivers. And this is just for tessellation since we've been only seeing a bunch of Unigine benchmarks.
If you're getting near GTX 580 or more performance for GTX 570 price, how is that fail?

this is what i suspected. 570 comes in already slighltly overclocked out of the packet doesn't it? so this would suggest slightly less overclocking potential but the impression is that at stock it might be just behind the 570. overall doesn't look like there will be much between the two tbh but obviously this is all still all circumspect.
True, but he says this though:

Wise guy huh
Sorry, with all this frenzy over new cards I haven't read the site rules. I did search, and din't find. I will look harder, thanks
He doesnt have a 580 so hes talking fud.
I will go by Gibbos test until reviews come out.
Were all missing something here. This is great OCUK spin, they are getting massive hits on site and lots of new little nooblets hanging around
Win all around.

I wouldn't be that harsh m8. You're irritating but I wouldn't call you a nooblet
Was this 20% on the 500's due to voltage adjustment?

Joint dates can be deceiving Jedi, especially if your really living in that location. The stink must be unbearable, best place for ya I say
