AMD/ATI Radeon HD6800 XT (Northern Islands Next Generation ATIs GPUs) Rumour...

^ hmm confusing information, this contradicts all the info that has been put out before, guess we just have to wait and see

 

And i thought there was alot of conflicing info around when the Fermi cards were due to be released.

Is €255 not a touch high for the 6870, how much are 5850/5870's or even the GTX470 in Germany/Holland etc.

We heard the 6870 would be 20% faster than a 1gb GTX460, so that sound like roughly the same as a GTX470, but there are now several different brands of GTX470's on sale for £211, with a few of them having with Mafia2 included, which works out as roughly €240.

 

cheapest 470 is around 289€ here and 5850 is 255€ and 5870 is around 380€ or so. so if this 250€ is like the price for 6870 its really nice price.

 

255€ sounds very cheap for 6870

i can get a 470gtx for 265 -290€, 5850 is around that range too.. 5870 is still above 350-430€, lol 480gtx min 425€..


so if its really 1120sp that's 280cores (or old 1800sp =380 cores) instead of 240cores (or old 1600sp = 320), weird maybe its barts pro that has these 960sp lol, but it would make it as strong as 5870 or even faster..

3 days to go and still so much speculations xD:nerd:

 

It's cause they have estimate the card 250 euros = 250 dollars ..

250 dollars here is the price of the cheaper GTX460 1go...( with shop price) .

 

5850 its atm 220€ in spain online shops.

and gigabyte 460 768mb its at 150€


6850 seems made directly to compete with 460s?


only difference between 6850 and 6870 its core frequency (125mhz and memory)?.

 

Suppose it is just an estimiate, just seems a touch steep when i can pick up a 5850 for the equivelent of €220, would also suggest no price drops for the 5800 cards.

But i will wait and see what it turns out to be in £ before making any direct comparisons.

 

Would'nt it be 1400 old cores since 280 x 5 = 1400 ?

Agreed, theres a lot of speculation regarding the 6xxx series.

 

240 cores - 4way or 960sp = 320 old cores - 5 way or 1600sp; its one and the same amount.

add these 40 cores to old 320 its then 360cores or 1800sp compared to 280cores - 4way or 1120sp

 

Just ONE real review and all shall be revealed

Can't wait.

 

Since when are 5770, 5850, 5870, and 5970 dogsh1t cards that no one wants? WTF?

 

HD5850 is running hot, has poor performance , and requires small power plant near by..

Maybe thats why!?

Oh, wait..


I had different card on my mind there.

 

New Radeons confirmed to be released next week!

and some more Cayman leakage

http://videocardz.com/27353/amd-radeon-hd-6970-and-radeon-hd-6950-specification

only1gb vram seems a bit so so..


also nvidia's response to Cayman

http://xtreview.com/addcomment-id-1...wer-to-the-new-generation-radeon-HD-6000.html

let the battles begin:war:, although nvidia is going to be late again lol

 

^ what's an octal power connector?

 

8 pin I'm assuming.

If Nvidia dropped a decent cooler on the card and clocked it higher with those extra shaders I bet they could hit a 35-45% increase in performance.

Doubt they will though. Also I can't wait for the inevitable 72371 complaint threads when they call it a GTX580.

 

AMD is kinda forcing their hand this time though

 

agreed, especially with AMD rebranding the 5770s to 6770s, no-one can complain

 

u mean 6770?
