The performance is a bit disappointed. Guess they never expect the 580 and 570 and doing stuff at their own pace.
thats at uber high resolution the GTX 580 would lose because of vRAM issues. So yeah at these settings (5760x1080) Cayman is the smarter choice I wouldnt say dissapointing though...I say in general its spot on and competitive against nvidia's offerings
http://plaza.fi/muropaketti/artikkelit/naytonohjaimet/amd-radeon-hd-6950-6970-cayman,4 some finnish tests on these cards seems like theres quite a bit difference in some reviews in this 6970 was slower then 580 but did win it few times and was always faster then 570. if i would be buying card id buy 6970 cause i can get near 580 performance oc'd with 200€ less price and with less power usage.
If i was going to buy a card i would get a GTX570, roughly the same performance as a 6970 but cooler and costs less than a 6970, and prices are only likely to go up on the 6970, but down on the 570. 6950 seems a far better card in comparison though.
sorry but LOLz yea right, here you go troll:wanker: slow-speed 6970ES, bare in mind that's still with 10.11 Hunter out.
Looking at the reviews, aren't all 6970's slow speed versions lol. Seriously though, too many people overhype stuff, AMD went quiet, and let the fans do the marketing for them, unfortunately the fans fecked it up.
^ The only thing that matters is, its a ES model and yet he said there isn't such a thing. Im not gonna argue or say anything else.. Have a good day, im off.
looks like a reference board to me, anyone can put a 'slow speed card' sticker on a card and take a photo, I call bs.
^ check few pages pack and you will see the photo of this "slow-speed board".. http://oc-lab.si/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5226&sid=4031d47d5d4737d3a7771d0975db68db&start=60 he assembled it him self.. well that's what he said. yea with red pcb.. and look here with same 10.11 driver, how far behind it is.. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/HIS/Radeon_HD_6970/25.html or here Metro, same 10.11 driver http://www.anandtech.com/show/4061/amds-radeon-hd-6970-radeon-hd-6950/15 and i said its around 580perf. in the first place, or did i miss something in these benches.. 2-3 fps slower than 580gtx wow yea BS. and that's not even with final 10.12 driver.. yea im a BS Troll, rock on!:nerd:
OMG Gents, if you do not stop fighting then rest assured that in the very near future you'll have to be on the lookout for new forums. Seriously grab a chill pill .. relax. You are fighting over a device that allows you to play games, that's all. Discussions are fine, but let's not get personal and attack each other okay ? We are all here for the same reason, passion of computer hardware. Now, don't say you have not been warned.

Drivers: NVIDIA 263.09 WHQL NVIDIA 260.99 WHQL (400-series) ATI 10.12 Beta RC2 10.12 rc2 it's the crap 8,79,6 please do not missinform and make impressions 10.12 final will never exist for 6900 series...only a hotfix is about to come...
